Establish a Cleaning Routine

Create a cleaning schedule that you can adhere to every week by breaking your tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly routines. Keep your daily tasks quick and simple such as putting dirty clothes in the laundry basket, and leave bigger like cleaning the bathroom for your house cleaner or schedule for a day you have the most time. Whether you make a cleaning checklist or buy one, having a printed schedule you can look at daily is an easy way to stay motivated.

Put Away Your Laundry

There are numerous benefits to putting away your laundry in a drawer or cupboard instead of leaving it on your bedroom floor or in a pile on the couch. The top advantages are that your room will look tidy, and you’ll have wrinkle-free clothes. Get into the habit of completing your laundry process on the day by taking a few extra minutes to sort, fold, and put away dry clothes, sheets, and towels.

Tidy Your Room Before Bed

By committing to cleaning for five minutes every day, your rooms should never get overwhelmingly messy. It only takes five minutes to give your bedroom or living room a once over and pick up any items left lying around. Putting your shoes in the closet, returning a book to a bookshelf, or taking a mug to the kitchen can make a space tidy and make you feel less stressed immediately.

Clean As You Cook

Stay on top of your kitchen cleaning by wiping messes and putting supplies away as you cook. Rather than watching your food simmer, you can wipe your bench, wash and dry any sharp knives or cleaning boards or load your dishwasher. This habit means there is less to clean up after dinner making night-time dishes a small job you can finish in less than ten minutes. Be sure to run your dishwasher overnight and empty it in the morning before work, so you’re set for the end of the day.

Hire a Domestic Cleaner

For those overwhelming cleaning tasks or those you don’t have time for during a busy work week, hire a weekly cleaner to support you in the new year. Our professional and fully-trained cleaners provide a tailored service so you can maintain your New Year’s cleaning resolutions.
