(Newswire.net — March 20, 2019) — Do you work full time but dread the feeling of coming home to a messy home? Well, you aren’t alone. Many full-time workers struggle with achieving a balance between their office hours and house duties. However, the good news is that, with good planning, you can comfortably achieve all these. But how? We have the answers on keeping house clean working full time below.
Keeping House Clean Working Full Time
Clean a Bit Everyday
When you work full time, it means that you barely have enough time to allocate for whole house cleaning. Besides, getting home tired and trying to get everything in order is insanely overwhelming. So, why not try cleaning a little area of the house daily or one general task at a time? For instance, you can allocate vacuuming for Monday’s, Tuesday’ s for dusting, etc. For thorough cleaning, conduct weekly or monthly allocations. For instance, every Saturday you’ll dedicate to basement cleaning and every last Friday of the month will be for wall cleaning. You can even research your own cleaning tips to make the process more efficient.
Make Use of Free Minutes to Clean
You can also try finishing up small tasks whenever you’re waiting for something to clear up or someone to finish what they are doing. For example, while the dishwasher is still running, throw in a load of laundry, sort out the mail as you wait for the kids to get ready and dispose what’s not needed, clean the kitchen countertops as you wait for your partner to get ready for a night out, and much more. Remember, every free minute is an opportunity to organize your space.
Clean Often
Yes, we know what you’re thinking right now, “but I don’t have time.” While that might be true, being intentional about cleaning frequently means that there won’t be any room for dirt to pile up. Thus, you won’t even be spending a lot of time wiping or vacuuming when you actually have to thoroughly clean your home. A few seconds or minutes each week will be enough to keep your sinks, toilet seat and glass tabletops sparkling. Think of it as a long-term accomplishment.
Make the Cleaning Supplies Accessible
Keep your cleaning accessories within reach. That way, every time you’re passing by, you will notice them and that will prompt you to consider cleaning. Keeping them out of sight or far away will make you feel like you’re wasting a lot of time getting them out and back in place. So it’s better to keep each product where it’s needed. For instance, keep the toilet stain remover and wipes to the toilet area and the dishwashing detergent in the kitchen. Remember to restock immediately you empty one to avoid future inconveniences.
Dispose the Things You Don’t Need
Having less stuff will give you ample cleaning and organizing time. So, if there are things you don’t need, such as clothes, old books, shoes, toys, etc.; it’s advisable to get rid of them. By this, we mean giving them away to those in need or storing them in a box or simply getting them outside the house.
In Conclusion
Having a hard time keeping house clean working full time? From the above tips, it’s evident that you can keep your house clean while working full time. Although it isn’t easy to do so, it’s manageable if you spend your time wisely and complete small tasks whenever you have the chance to. If you make cleaning a habit, work around schedules and dispose the things you no longer need, a sparkling home is what you will be coming home to every time.
