5 Tasks to do Daily for a Clean Home

August 18, 2020 Comments : 11

I don’t know about you but keeping a clean home is one of my biggest tasks lately. It seems that no matter what I do things pile up until I feel overwhelmed and go on a cleaning rampage. It wasn’t until recently that I learned that in order to keep things neat and tidy that (gasp!) I needed to keep up with certain tasks around the home on a daily basis. So here are the 5 easy tasks to do daily for a clean home that can be done in just minutes or even while catching up on The Bachelor after the kids go to bed.

5 Tasks to do Daily for a Clean Home

Dishes

Going to bed with a clean sink makes me happy. Whether it be loading the dishwasher or washing by hand, clean dishes make it look like you have a clean home.

Wipe counters and sinks

Wiping down counters and sinks also help make your kitchen and bathrooms look tidier. Especially those bathroom sinks. I haven an 8 year old who doesn’t exactly spit his toothpaste in a controlled manner and if I let that build up overtime, the sinks never recover. Wiping them down at the end of the day is one trick to keep your home clean.

Stay Organized 

Go through the mail each day and throw out things you don’t need, tidy up around the house as needed and put things away, pick up those scattered kid’s toys off the floor. Staying organized helps make keeping your home clean easier than ever.

Make Beds

This is a game changer in feeling like your house is neat and tidy. Every time I make my bed, I feel a sense of accomplishment and my room looks so much nicer. I also make my son make his bed daily because it just looks neater than the random sheets and blankets thrown everywhere.

Laundry

With two kids and two adults in the home the laundry tends to pile up quickly. Doing a load of laundry daily keeps it from achieving overwhelming status. Bonus points if you can wash, dry, fold and put it away all in the same day.

What helps making doing laundry every day easier is having the right fabric care products. Right now you can stock up on these P&G items at your local Target and when you spend $50 you get a $15 gift card! This includes all your fabric care needs including various Tide products, Downy, Gain and my favorites Bounce, Fabric enhancers and NBD detergents.

NBD detergents is my new favorite detergent brand because not only is it clean, gentle for sensitive skin and free of dyes but it also cleans clothes effectively in cold water. (I know! Amazing right?) When I really need a freshness boost to the laundry I add Downy unstoppables to the wash to give my laundry 12 weeks of freshness (perfect for my son’s clothes!). These scent beads can be used on all colors and fabrics and is safe for any washing machine that you have! I love using these with my towels and sheets.

To finish off my laundry routine I rely on Bounce to throw in the dryer to help prevent wrinkles, reduce static cling and soften fabric.

If you constantly feel like the laundry is never ending, attempting to do a load daily helps lessen that burden! Make sure to check out the amazing deal happening right now at Target. Helping you stock up on those fabric care brands you already use and love! Hurry though, this deal ends soon and I promise you don’t want to miss it!

    This is great, and I totally agree! I think my first step of feeling productive is by making my the bed@ The room just looks so organized and clean and a great motivation to start organizing the house!

    I am doing pretty well with all of these. We have to keep up because we work and do school from our home. If it gets bad, life gets miserable!

    It’s the whole stay organized that I have a hard time with at times. A baby apparently really messes with a lot of things.

I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconn I’ve been feeling really overwhelmed and disconnected lately. From my kids and from my husband. It’s made me feel like a terrible mom and partner. 
This pregnancy has been so hard on my body and mind and I have never felt more alone. Maybe because I’m just trying to out a smile on and be happy but most days I’m struggling. Pregnancy after loss is a constant state of anxiety. Filled with feelings of being scared to become too connected with this baby out of fear of something going wrong. 
But I’m trying and with every passing week my heart relaxes just a little bit more. So here’s to the final stretch, the third trimester and to all the other mamas out there struggling with similar feelings I’m sending you so much love. ❤️

I hate this world that my children are growing up I hate this world that my children are growing up in. My heart sinks a little every time I send them off to school or daycare, terrified that something out of my control will happen to them. I can control what they eat, what they watch, who they play with to an extent but I can’t control the unknown. And right now raising children feels a little like walking into the unknown. 

So where do we go from here?
How do we teach our children about kindness, forgiveness and trust when society these days is throwing the exact opposite in their faces? How do we raise children and make them feel safe in a world that feels so heavy? In the last 24 hours I’ve thought to myself, this could be my children and the pain that goes along with just that thought is not even comparable to the pain the families who sent their children off to school to never come home are feeling right now. The sad truth though is that the next time it could be my children, your children, our community, our schools that are effected by a tragedy like this. 
As a parent this is the most terrifying thought of all. 

 Holding my children a little tighter today and every day because this world is an unpredictable place and holding onto hope that change is coming. ❤️
