Keeping your house clean can be a challenge particularly if you are short of time and if you have a lot of family and friends also using the house. If you want to keep your house clean then you need to have a plan to do so. Here are some tips that will help as part of your plan to keep on top of the cleanliness of your house.
The first thing is to ensure you don't allow clutter to build up. This is done by asking everyone in the house to designate specific places for their things and ensure that when they aren't using them that they are put away and stored in their rightful place. This way the house does not become over-cluttered with people's things. This will help keep the house clean as without clutter then there are less places for dirt and dust to become hidden and to escape the cleaning that does happen.
The second thing we recommend is that people remove their cups, glasses and dishes from the table and the other living areas once they have finished using them. Half full cups or dirty plates left around the house will breed and attract bacteria and will also make the house look very unclean.
As much as most people hate cleaning you should also make sure you have a plan to do little bits of cleaning on a regular basis. This can be as little as wiping down the table and work surfaces after you finish cooking and eating. By keeping on top on this daily cleaning you will avoid putting off a very big clean to get rid of all the accumulated dirt.
Sometimes to achieve this type of cleaning and a clean house its just a matter of a small shift in attitude and routine. Once it becomes part of the routine and the people in the house realize it can be done in a very short amount of time each day then they will be more likely to keep it up. Everyone can then enjoy the results and live in a nice clean house.
