CLEANING TIPS FOR HOMES
CLEANING TIPS FOR THE FAMILY ROOM/LIVING ROOM
NEVER LEAVE A ROOM EMPTY-HANDED
Being prepared to leave a room is one of the best cleaning tips ever. Why? Imagine how much quicker you could clean your floors or wash down your counters if you didn't have to first pick up any clutter.
Consider taking a peek around the next time you leave a space. Take empty cups, plates, or toys with you and ask your family to do the same. Pink blanket and white cushion in a storage container
PURCHASE STORAGE CONTAINERS OR BASKETS.
Utilizing storage boxes or baskets was a further helpful tip I employed, especially when my boys were little. We used them for everything (and I still do), but having one in every room, especially the main living area, helps to keep the toy clutter under control.
It was easy to gather up toys when my boys finished playing and place them in the basket until they could be placed back in their correct place.
CLEAN UP YOUR CARPET
Baking soda can be used to quickly refresh the carpet. Simply scatter a tiny bit over your entire carpet, then wait around 30 minutes for it to dry. To remove any scents, vacuum as usual after that. It also gives your carpet a remarkably velvety texture.

STORAGE FOR TRASH BAGS

WHILE YOU COOK, CLEAN.
Keeping your home clean when you don't have the time or drive to do so depends on multitasking if you don't have the time to start a cleaning routine (although you should try; they are life-changing). And as a mother, we come by this naturally. So, tidy your kitchen while you prepare lunch, dinner, or breakfast to make the most of every usable moment in a day. You see what I mean. Take the opportunity to clean the counter or wash the dishes while you are already in the kitchen. Even cleaning out the fridge and organizing a drawer or cabinet will be done at this time. While you are cooking or eating dinner, remember to soak any dishes or pans so they will be simple to wash or rinse later.
QUICKLY CLEAN YOUR MICROWAVE
Use this brilliant technique instead of spending time scraping off food that has been caked onto the interior of your microwave to have it spotless in no time. Simply microwave a cup of water and a tablespoon of vinegar for roughly 5 minutes on high. You can easily clean out your microwave because all the food particles will have been freed by the steam from the water.
DEAL WITH THE MAIL IMMEDIATELY.
Another cleaning tip that just makes life easier is this one. One of the main causes of clutter is mail. When mail enters the house, you toss it on the table and tell yourself you'll deal with it later. Before you know it, a week's worth of mail has accumulated, and you have no time to sort through it.
KEEP EQUIPMENT OFF OF COUNTERS.
Obviously, if you use your coffee maker or toaster every day, they are in good shape. To lessen the amount of clutter on your worktops, attempt to keep other small gadgets that are not used frequently hidden away in a cabinet. Consider how much faster it will be to clean your counters without relocating your appliances. Additionally, by hiding them, your kitchen will appear a lot cleaner.
AT THE DOOR, REMOVE YOUR SHOES
Always have a rug or mat at the door and take off your shoes before entering your home, whether it be through the kitchen, mudroom, entryway, or living room, to prevent bringing dirt inside with you. This doormat is the ideal way to get everyone to take off their shoes in order to maintain a cleaner home.
