Having a clean house is probably more important than you realize. Household dust accounts for many allergies that some assume are coming from outside sources, and vulnerable family members like children and the elderly are more susceptible to illness that can come from dust, dirt, grime and mold. A cluttered house has also been shown to lead to other issues such as depression, anxiety, and just an overall feeling of being overwhelmed. Most agree when their house is clean, they are able to focus better on the more important things in life, and find their home to be a much more relaxing place to be.

Granted, this is all easier said than done. Even with these facts known, many families struggle to keep up with the housework and find they are easily distracted by demanding work hours, children’s schedules or just having the ability to know how to stay clean and organized year round. The tips below will help you get started down the path of living a more tidy home life.

Lists are a powerful tool in keeping your house clean. When we get things down on paper, it lowers our stress level, helps us to remember all we have to do, and lays the foundation of a routine on how exactly to get it all done.

Your list should contain a section for every area of your home, and everything that needs to be done to keep it clean. For example, your “kitchen” section should list loading the dishwasher, mopping floors, cleaning counters, organizing cabinets and fridge, etc. Once you have jotted down what each room requires, you will know what cleaning supplies you need, which room you can focus on cleaning that day depending on your schedule, and what other members of your family are capable of doing.

Research the features of your home. Do you know how often your carpet should be cleaned? Are you aware of what cleaners shouldn’t be used on a hardwood floor? Has anyone ever shown you how to properly dust? Learn about the various needs of your home and participate in your own little housecleaning boot camp.

Next, look into homemade cleaning solutions. They are more environmental, clean just as effectively in most cases, and it helps to get your family involved. Unless you want to be cleaning the entire house yourself every day, it’s important you divvy up tasks between spouse, children, and any other family member. Children will especially need to be engaged somehow to willingly agree to what will be a more extensive chore list. By getting them involved in special projects like creating their own cleansers, then they will feel more invested and take pride in what they’ve done.

The tips mentioned above will help get you started, but the following websites will provide you with ideas for actual cleaning and completing your chores efficiently.
