Cleaning Hints and Tips

1. Create a House Cleaning Schedule

A structured cleaning schedule is the backbone of a consistently clean home. Break down your cleaning tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly categories. Daily tasks might include washing dishes and wiping down kitchen counters, while weekly tasks can cover vacuuming and bathroom cleaning. Monthly tasks could include dusting blinds and cleaning windows. If you can, also allocate each task to someone in the household. Sharing is caring and will take some of the mental load off you. This approach ensures tasks are manageable and your home stays clean without overwhelming your schedule.

2. Declutter and Organise

Clutter not only makes a home feel chaotic but also complicates the cleaning process. Start by decluttering each room, getting rid of items you no longer need or use. Marie Kondo it - if it no longer brings you joy, out it goes. (Disclaimer: this does not include your children or significant other). Then, organise what remains in a way that makes sense for your lifestyle. Use storage solutions that maximise space and keep items out of sight but easily accessible. A decluttered home is easier to clean and maintain.

3. Keep Basic Cleaning Supplies Close to Where You Use Them

Store your cleaning supplies where they are most frequently used. Keep bathroom cleaners under the sink in each bathroom, kitchen cleaners under the kitchen sink, and so on. This makes it easier to spot clean and maintain cleanliness without having to transport supplies from one room to another. It encourages regular cleaning habits by removing the barrier of inconvenience.

4. Clean as You Go

One of the simplest yet most effective strategies for maintaining a clean home is to clean as you go. Finished with dinner? Clean the kitchen immediately. Used the bathroom? Wipe down surfaces quickly. Before you hope out of the shower? Wipe those glass doors. This habit prevents messes from building up and makes deep cleaning less daunting.

5. 15-Minute Nightly Reset

Spend 15 minutes each night resetting your home. This can include tidying up the living room, preparing items for the next day, and setting the dishwasher. Want to make it fun? Set a timer and see how much you can accomplish. This short burst of cleaning prevents the accumulation of daily messes and allows you to wake up to a tidy home, setting a positive tone for the day.

6. Build Cleaning into Routine

Integrate cleaning tasks into your existing routines. For example, while waiting for the kettle to boil or the microwave to beep, use that time to wipe down countertops or organize a drawer. These moments add up, significantly reducing the need for extensive cleaning sessions.

7. Hire a Cleaner - Regularly or for Spring Cleaning

Finally, consider hiring professional help. Whether it’s for regular upkeep or a seasonal deep clean, a professional cleaner can provide a thorough cleaning that might be difficult to achieve on your own. This is especially useful for busy families or those who might need a little extra help due to physical limitations. It’s an investment in the cleanliness of your home and your mental well-being.

By incorporating these seven tips into your routine, you'll find that maintaining a clean home in Toowoomba becomes a more manageable and rewarding task. A clean home truly does lead to a clearer mind, providing a serene and orderly sanctuary where you can relax and recharge. Happy cleaning!
