How to Have a Clean House

I love having a clean house but is it always clean? Absolutely not! Do I try to keep it clean? Absolutely, yes! So I’ll be honest, I am not an OCD cleaner, I’m just not. But I do love having a clean house. Something about having things in order and clean, brightens up my spirit and I feel more like I have everything together. 

I’ve heard cleaning schedules are a great way to help you stay on top of cleaning so I searched for some. When I was looking at cleaning schedules on Pinterest I thought to myself, “I am going to be cleaning my house all day every day with these.” I am just not that type of woman. Some woman are and all power to them. But for me I know myself, I have tried the cleaning all day every day thing and I just fizzle out by about day 2. So, I created a cleaning schedule for myself. How to have a clean house cleaning schedule. A realistic cleaning schedule for me and something that I know I can achieve. 

Somethings that I have realized that really help me are:

1. Get a hand held vacuum. I learned this from my in-laws and it has been a total game changer. When messes break out, instead of thinking to myself, “ahhhh I am not getting out my whole vacuum and cleaning that.” I just grab my handheld cordless vacuum and get ride of it right there and then. I use this one and love it!

2. I let my boys help. They love having a job to do! There are 3 pluses for me on this 1. It keeps them from fighting while I am cleaning. 2. They learn how to work. 3. It makes my job a little easier. Krew is loving helping me put the silverware away right now and Chet loves using the hand held vacuum. It’s a Win Win.

3. Magic Erasers! These things are heaven sent! They really are like magic I am not even joking! I especially love them for my walls and cabinets. Things that don’t come off with a rag I alway use magic erasers on. I buy a bunch at a time so I always have them on hand. I buy my bundle here. 

Sure this list might not be perfect and I do some other things that aren’t listed here and there but it has been working great for me and my family so far and I am loving it! Find my cleaning schedule here!

Wish List! Have heard of this Dyson Cordless Vacuum Cleaner? A bunch of my friends have it and just rave about it! I cant decide if that or a Roomba would be better. What do you think?

sincerely,
