Cleaning Hacks & Home Care Tips How to Keep Your House Clean (Even If You Work Full-Time)
“How to Keep Your House Clean (Even If You Work Full-Time)”
Between meetings, carpool duty, and trying to squeeze in a minute of self-care, keeping your house clean can feel nearly impossible. But a tidy, clean home doesn’t have to mean hours of scrubbing. Here’s how busy professionals (especially moms!) can stay on top of it without burnout.
- Set a Daily 10-Minute Reset
At the end of each day, set a timer and spend 10 minutes resetting key areas: kitchen, living room, and bathrooms. - Use the “One Touch” Rule
If you pick it up, put it away. Avoid piling up mail, laundry, or dishes by dealing with items the first time you touch them. - Assign Each Day a Task
Monday: laundry, Tuesday: floors, Wednesday: dusting. Spreading it out makes it manageable. - Invest in Good Tools
A cordless vacuum or a robotic mop can save you hours every month. - Automate Deep Cleans
Hiring a cleaning service monthly or biweekly keeps the big stuff under control, so you can focus on maintenance. - Delegate with a Family Chart
Even kids as young as 4 can help wipe counters or put laundry in the basket. Give everyone a role. - Declutter As You Go
Notice something you don’t use or love? Put it in a donation bin on the spot. - Keep Products Handy
Stash all-purpose cleaner and microfiber cloths in each bathroom and kitchen so you can wipe up messes quickly. - Batch Laundry Days
Doing small loads throughout the week can feel endless. Batch laundry on one or two days to get it done faster. - Bring In the Pros
