A day in the life without a solid cleaning routine will most likely be riddled with stress, chaos, and illness. This is because clutter and disorganization lead to an increased incidence of illness and disease. A clean home comes with many benefits such as increased productivity, more restful sleep, better relationships with children or romantic partners, cleaner air, decreased allergies and asthma triggers.
In this blog post we’ll provide you with easy to follow tips on how to create your own daily housecleaning routine at home.
#1 Create a schedule of when you want to tackle specific tasks.
Time is one of the most important elements to consider when creating a cleaning schedule. Time is a resource that you need to carefully manage in order to clean and keep your home in order on a daily basis. You may have been given the advice that it takes 30 days to form a habit. This means that once you have created a routine, it will become part of your routine for all eternity.
As an example, if you want to create the habit of eating healthy and exercise daily, then it will eventually become part of your everyday life without much effort. Our advice would therefore be to make sure you have enough time scheduled into your schedule.
#2 Establish a list of household cleaning essentials.
Having the right tools for the job is essential to your overall cleanliness. Cleaning with the wrong tools can be an absolute waste of time and energy when you could be spending that time doing something else instead.
There should not be any tools that are difficult to clean either. For example, you should not have a rusty mop hanging in your closet as it will only create a problem in the future as it is difficult to remove stains and it will make your home smell like metal if you leave it on the floor for too long.
#3 Use a schedule to keep track of your daily cleaning tasks.
The best way to keep track of your day is to use a calendar. You can use the calendar on your computer, in the cloud or use an app on your phone such as the Day Timer app. This way you will always be reminded when and what you should be doing next.
#4 Set time aside to do things with your family and friends.
There is nothing more important than good relationships and we cannot stress that enough. Your friends and family will want you to be around for a long time and so will your partner or spouse. Keeping in touch with them on a daily basis is easier if you set aside specific times to do so.
#5 Plan dinner in advance whenever possible
When you have a schedule, planning is simple and easy. The same principle applies when it comes to creating a menu that fits into your overall schedule. Planning meals ahead of time means that you have no reason to order out or spend cash money at the local fast food restaurants.
By planning your meals ahead of time, you will also cut down on unneeded stress because there will not be any reason to worry about dinner when the day arrives.
