Whether you work in the home, outside of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have houses or an apartment, or a place that need to be cleaned. We also have families that are responsible for most of the messes, laundry, and dirt that we find in our houses. How is it possible to do it all? Work, clean, and spend time with your families. It is hard, I am not going to sugar coat it. Here are a few tips.
Whether you work in the home, outside of the home, or somewhere in between, we all have houses or an apartment, or a place that need to be cleaned. We also have families that are responsible for most of the messes, laundry, and dirt that we find in our houses. How is it possible to do it all? Work, clean, and spend time with your families. It is hard, I am not going to sugar coat it. But here are a few tips to keeping yoru house clean and not spending all your spare time cleaning it:
1. Get started. Decide how clean you want your house to be and how much time you have. This will help you decide how to set up your cleaning schedule. Be honest with yourself about what you can do. Attempt to delegate tasks. If you live with other people, cleaning the house should not be exclusively your responsibility! You may have to take on leadership by setting up a rotational cleaning schedule, but it's better than having to do this backbreaking work alone. Make sure the tasks assigned are age appropriate. Some people prefer to put off cleaning as long as possible, then have a big cleaning campaign now and then. For the "average" busy person it works better to do a little bit every day so that the work doesn't pile up, and also have major-cleaning day a few times a month.
2. Cleaning glass/mirrors. It is commonly thought that glass cleaner does the cleaning. It's no substitute for soapy water! First, wash your glass (including windows and mirrors) with a solution of warm or hot water, dish soap and a rag, sponge, or squeegee. Powdered no-scratch cleaner works fantastic for cleaning mirrors, glass, ceramics, and metals because it scrubs off hard water residue without scratching the surface.Wipe down surface with a dry lint-free cloth or lint-free paper towels.
3. Cleaning the floors. Vacuuming is the most effective way to clean up all the dust and other loose junk that accumulates on your floor (and it's practically a daily necessity when you have pets that shed). If you're always putting off vacuuming, try using a dry dust mop (the microfiber kind works well) if you have tile/wood floors. You can use a carpet sweeper (non-electric machine you push that has brushes underneath) if you have carpet. Both involve less fuss than getting out the vacuum and will let you go longer between vacuuming.
4. Outsource. If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - successful businesses outsource things all the time, why can't you? As a busy mom, sometimes we need help. Call a cleaning service once in a while and let them do a deep clean for you. It will be the best money you have ever spent.
