1.Cleaning routine Essentials
Tackle everyday messes with the best sponges, scrubbers, sprays, and more!
Here’s our take on the best cleaning essentials. The right tools make all the difference!
Establish a simple yet effective morning cleaning routine. Try this one.
- Start the Washing Machine–> On your way to get the coffee brewing, start a load of laundry. If you don’t have a washing machine, investing in one would be a great idea. In case that sounds too costly, you can always rent one from a nearby washer rental service. Cleaning routines can be made much easier with a washing machine.
- Unload the dishwasher –> “Everything has its place” is such a reliable motto. Then start the process over by loading everything after breakfast.
- Make beds –> Everyone makes their own as soon as they get up.
- 5-minute pick up –> Do a quick pick up of what might have been missed from the night before and the last minute tornado of the morning.
3. Night Time Cleaning Routine
Before you turn in for the night, spend a few extra minutes tidying up with these simple suggestions. Small efforts can have the biggest impact on your morning.
- Clean the kitchen –> Spend a quick 5 minutes clearing the counters and wiping them down. Load and run the dishwasher if it’s full. Make sure there are no dishes in the sink. Starting the morning with a clean kitchen will brighten your mood.
- Pack lunches and/or snack –> Mornings are busy enough. Take care of lunches and snacks the night before.
- Set the coffee maker –> When you’re groggy in the morning there’s nothing better than a freshly brewed, hot cup of coffee (or tea, if that’s your thing)! Get it ready for minimal effort in the morning.
- Take care of one load of laundry –> Fold, sort and put away the clothes from the last wash load. Biggest takeaway: don’t let laundry snowball on you.
- Five-minute pick-up –> Just take a few minutes to throw away trash, take items back to their “home” and wipe down messy areas.
4. Cleaning Routine Add-ons
In addition to your daily cleaning routine, practice the art of add-ons. For example, you can add dusting and/or vacuuming a room or two each day. If your vacuum is not great, you can always pick up a new one like a Riccar Supralite, for instance, to make it easier on yourself not to have to use an old vacuum that may not be able to pick up much.
