Get Your Home Really Clean Before Christmas

If you want to tackle your cleaning before Christmas, so you know that you have cleaned every surface and got rid of all those dust bunnies that are hiding around your house, you need a plan!

Make a list of all the areas you want to tackle. These are just some of the areas that you might want to tackle!

• Behind the sofa
• Under the bed
• The kitchen cupboards
• Light fittings
• The junk drawer
• Curtain poles
• Tops of doors
• Deep clean the tub
• Polish the ornaments
• Clean behind the toilet
• Scrub the walls
• Defrost the freezer
• Clean the oven
• Clean the windows

Knowing what needs doing is great, it gives you the chance to see what you need to do and then to plan this into your schedule.

If you are at home during the day, it is just as difficult if you work outside the home to fit in an extra task into an already busy schedule.

The answer is to plan but to plan small. You want to break this list down into tasks that really don’t take long to do!

If you want to tackle your windows, who says you have to clean them all in one go? It is better to break this down into smaller chunks and say clean one window a day!

Don’t Pull Out Too Much Stuff

Who has tried to do some cleaning and pulled everything out of their kitchen cupboards, sorting and cleaning all the cupboards, only to find that it is too big and you end up stuffing it all back and walking away?

I know I have, whilst I love cleaning, I don’t like tasks to take hours! I get bored too easily!

It is better to concentrate on one area or one cupboard at a time! This way it doesn’t get overwhelming!

Get Your Home Really Clean With Little And Often

The best advice I can give anyone for cleaning is little and often. It is the easiest way to keep your home clean and tidy.

However, if you struggle to find time to clean, it might be related more to the act of cleaning than the cleaning itself!

It is very easy to get bored with the concept of keeping our house clean, why should we, who cares?

The point is sometimes no one cares, but why you clean is because you and your family deserve to live in a clean home. You might just need to change-up your cleaning routine so it doesn’t become such a chore!

Get Your Home Really Clean With Great Cleaning Supplies

Make sure you have all the cleaning supplies that you need before starting a cleaning task. There is nothing worse than trying to tackle a cleaning project only to find that the cleaning product you were going to use has run out!

I always keep a spare, so I never run out of an item!

Keeping On Top Of The Cleaning

Once you have tackled an area, make sure that you pop back and check that area regularly, this way it will still be clean when you want to sit back and put your feet up!

If there are more than just you living in the home, try sharing out some of the cleaning chores! This is a great way to help you and to reduce the stress of keeping your house clean and tidy!

Creating Routines And Tools

Creating a routine that allows you to do tasks on auto-pilot, you don’t have to think about the tasks as you know what you need to do!

You need to gather your cleaning tools and products:

• The vacuum you use is personal choice and price dependant too! I moved to a Shark from a Dyson and I love the Shark Vacuum so much better than my previous vacuum!
• The cloths you use will affect your cleaning, I love microfiber cloths, they work so much better than old-fashioned dusters!
• I try to use products that are less harmful and contain few chemicals, this is why I love white vinegar and bicarbonate of soda, they tackle a multitude of tasks!

This makes cleaning and dealing with household chores so much easier than having to think what needs doing and then forgetting areas in your home!

The main one I forget is the laundry, I just can’t seem to get a routine in place where I can remember the different areas associated with the laundry!

Creating routines to really tackle some of those areas you want to deep clean before the festive season begins, is a great idea to get ahead whilst it is still relatively normal at the moment!
