Feeling Stressed About a Messy Household?

The Benefits of Having a Daily Cleaning Checklist

This list can be a lifesaver when it comes to keeping mess and spills at bay. Here’s why:

Without a list, you can become distracted or overwhelmed when cleaning your home. A list helps you stay focused on one room at a time, allowing you to complete all relevant tasks together and efficiently.

When you’re able to visualize your daily tasks, it’s easier to stay on top of what needs to be done, from knowing which rooms still need to be cleaned and what tools and accessories you’ll need to have on hand.

Sharing the list with your family can also make cleaning a group effort. Kids can see what needs to be cleaned in their rooms, and everyone can pitch in to clean family areas such as the living room or game room.

This list contains chores that need to be done every day, leaving out tasks that only need to be done weekly or monthly. This helps you stay on top of the most pressing chores, while saving you time and energy to do bigger, seasonal chores later.

By referencing your checklist every day, you may find you don’t need it after a while since these daily tasks have become a part of your daily routine, making it a less stressful, easier part of your schedule.

Daily Habits and Practices to Lessen the Cleaning Load

Along with a daily list, you can instill these practices into your daily cleaning routine to make tidying up and staying organized a breeze.

• Don’t Skip the Small Stuff

Your kids may complain that it’s not necessary to make their beds every morning, but they’ll find that a tidy home is good for everyone. The simple act of making a bed or tidying up clutter is the best way to instill a daily cleaning routine at any age.

• Stay Ahead of Clutter

A stray toy or article of clothing can easily turn into a pile if it’s not put away properly. Place a small basket or a tote bag in each room that’s designated for clutter or items that need to be put back in their rightful place.

• No-Shoes Household

The secret to clean floors? No shoes! Avoid tracking in mud and dirt every day by having people remove their shoes before entering the household or designating an area in the entry hall for people to store their shoes.

• Keep Stains at Bay

If your couch cushions or rugs are often victims of stains that aren’t treated right away, you need a trusty stain remover at hand to make sure stains are removed quickly and efficiently. Our Natural Stain Remover works on multiple surfaces and fabrics, and is a lifesaver for sofas, carpets, clothes, and more.

• A Clean Sink By Lights Out

It’s not necessary to deep clean the house every day, but ending the day with the dishwasher loaded or the sink cleared of dishes is one goal that’s doable. Making sure this one task is complete by the end of the day will prevent you from starting off the morning with a sink full of dirty dishes.
