Tips for working moms- how to keep a clean home | Inspire Clean

Working parents often struggle to maintain a clean and tidy household, while also raising their children and working, whether full or part time. But while this is a fact and one no parent should be ashamed of, that doesn’t help in terms of finding a solution.

If you’re a working parent finding it hard to maintain a clean home, you may find it helpful to look for a house cleaning service in Naples. They will relieve you of the pressure to keep your home clean, leaving you free to concentrate on your job, and your family.

If a cleaning service isn’t right for you at this point in your life however, you can check out the following tips for a cleaner home:

  • Create cleaning routines

A daily cleaning routine need not take long, but can help prevent those big weekend build-ups of dust, clutter and grime. This can include such things as wiping down surfaces, running a vacuum over high traffic areas, loading and unloading the dishwasher, keeping on top of laundry, and sanitizing bathroom surfaces. You needn’t spend any longer than 15 minutes a day doing these things. 

A weekly cleaning routine should involve deeper cleaning tasks such as vacuuming and mopping throughout the home, dusting surfaces, cleaning toilets, showers and sinks, and changing bed linen and towels. 

A monthly cleaning routine should be focused on cleaning areas that tend to get grubby over time, like kitchen appliances, underneath and behind furniture, windows, and light fixtures. A monthly declutter of closets and storage areas can be immensely helpful, too.  

  • Rotate cleaning tasks

By rotating some cleaning tasks, like washing drapes and blinds, or cleaning carpets, you can ensure that everything gets cleaned at least once a week, or where appropriate, once a month. 

  • Be organized with your cleaning supplies

Make sure that you have a cleaning caddy including basics such as an all-purpose cleaner, microfiber duster, sponge and glass cleaner for each zone (or room) in your home, and leave it in situ that you don’t have to waste time getting what you need, when you want to clean. 

  • Try these decluttering solutions

Implement a basket or box system for each main living space so that books, shoes and toys etc can easily be tossed inside during the day. Then when you have time, go through the box or basket and restore all items to their rightful homes. 

Or set up a donation box or basket to throw unwanted items into for recycling or donating at the end of each month. 

Nobody ever said that raising a family while working would be easy, but sometimes keeping a clean home on top of all your other responsibilities as a parent, is too tough to handle alone. That’s when a Naples cleaning service can prove incredibly valuable, helping you to maintain a safe and comfortable living environment for you and your kids, without taking up any of your precious free time.

And for those working parents who prefer to take care of cleaning their home without professional help, the tips listed above can help you master the art of multi-tasking, with ease!
