Keep it Clean

We are all spending a lot of time at home lately and constantly searching for new ways to keep ourselves and everything around us clean. Spring cleaning has come in strong this year, so it’s important to get you and your family into a hygienic routine. Making simple adjustments such as not wearing outside shoes around the house and washing your hands additional times throughout the day are a great start to a cleaner lifestyle.

If your family members each set 15 minutes aside every night to tidy up their belongings, that will make a world a difference. This quick, nightly cleanup is a great way to get into an organized routine that will hopefully become a habit as time goes on. It’s also helpful to do laundry regularly. Keeping your laundry pile small helps keep your home smelling fresh.

When getting into big cleaning projects such as reorganizing cabinets or cleaning windows, it’s easiest to take it step by step. If you create smaller goals it will become easier to accomplish the task, and your home will be cleaner in no time. You can also divide up the work amongst family members. Each person can be assigned a room to clean up and get the job done quickly.

It’s also a great idea to invest in an excellent vacuum. The Roomba has become very popular for cleaning your floors by itself, so you can spend your time doing other things like making sure the dishes are put away.

Sometimes it can be hard to make your space feel organized because there are so many items everywhere you turn. Something as simple as finding new storage bins can be a big help to this problem. Once all your belongings have their own home, you will feel put-together and less cluttered. Keeping your home clean is such an important way to help keep everyone in your family healthy.
