Keeping a clean home isn’t always easy. Between family, friends, and outside factors like leaves or pollen that can cause your house to look untidy for extended periods of time, it can be a challenge to keep everything looking neat and tidy. Fortunately, keeping a clean home doesn’t have to be a struggle. With the right mind-set and small lifestyle changes, you can design your home to look cleaner and less cluttered than it really is!

Keep Your Home’s Exterior Looking Clean

Making sure your home’s exterior is clean and free of debris is a simple way to keep your home looking clean. Especially in the fall and winter when leaves and snow can accumulate on your roof and driveway, keeping your home’s exterior clean will help prevent debris from collecting on your home’s exterior and inside. Additionally, dirt, moss, and algae can cause discoloration on your home’s exterior - making it appear messy and unkempt. Keep this clean, too.

Have Laundry Rules

Making sure your clothes are clean and wrinkle-free before you put them into your dirty clothes hamper or closet will help prevent your dirty clothes from creating a messy environment. Before you put your clean clothes away, make sure they are absolutely wrinkle-free and use a hanging rack to keep them organized and off the floor. Keeping your clothes clean will make it easier to keep your home looking clean, too.

Hire a Pest Control Service

A pest control service will help you make sure that your home is clean and free of bugs. Bugs in your home will make your home feel very dirty, and will make you uncomfortable, especially if you do not like bugs. A pest control service will allow you to easily keep your home free of bugs all year round without any effort on your part.

Make Sure You Have a Trash and Recycling Day

If you do not have a designated trash day and recycling day in your family, consider adding them as a weekly event. Designating a day each week to take out your family’s trash and recycle will help keep your home clean and help prevent your local government from receiving litter fines. Additionally, many cities offer free recycling programs for residents, which can help save you money on your monthly utility bills.

Don’t Let Dirty Dishes Pile Up

While keeping a clean home may be difficult at times, taking the time to keep your dishes clean before you put them in the dishwasher or sink can help prevent your dishes from adding to the clutter in your home. In order to keep your dishes clean, make sure they are washed, rinsed, and dried before putting them away. Place your dishes in their proper cabinets or drawers so that you don’t have to navigate around them when looking for the next item on your to-do list.

There are many ways to keep your home clean and organized. These tips will help you keep your home looking clean easily and with no stress!
