Keeping your home clean can be overwhelming whether you have a family or are on your own. Even as adults, it’s still challenging to find time between work and taking care of a family to find a productive routine that will keep your house clean for more than a few days at a time! If you aren’t ready to invest in a residential house cleaning service, our experts at Golden Rule Cleaning and More in Springfield, IL are here to give you four pro tips and daily habits to keep your home clean that don’t take hours to complete. Keep reading below to learn more, and pick one or two tasks to start if four seem overwhelming!
Start by Making the Bed
Do you have vague memories of your parents telling you to make the bed before school or getting ready for the day? They might have been onto something because it’s more beneficial than you think! Making your bed first in the morning will immediately help your room feel cleaner and be much more satisfying to climb into at the end of a long day. You can even simplify your bed-making routine by eliminating unnecessary pillows or sheets that end up on the floor. At Golden Rule Cleaning and More Inc. in Springfield, IL, our residential cleaning experts provide weekly, monthly, and even one-time services so that you never have to stress about a dirty home again.
Never Let Laundry Pile Up
We know that this tip will be a hard one, especially for those with families and LOTS of clothes. But, believe it or not, there is a way to control the piles of laundry that stack up after a few days without having to do several loads at once! At Golden Rule Cleaning and More Inc. in Springfield, IL we have found that putting a load of laundry in the morning and finding the time to dry and fold it at some point throughout your day gives you more time throughout the week to spend on relaxing or other chores! In addition, committing to cleaning and folding one load of laundry a day will never leave your laundry room looking like a warzone and instead keep your house clean and tidy.
Prioritize Your Cleaning
You may be thinking, isn’t all cleaning a priority? Well, yes and no. There are always a few rooms in your home that seem to get significantly messier than others – you know which ones we’re talking about! Think about the free time you have in a day and how much of that time you’re willing to spend on cleaning. Start by prioritizing what needs to be done (only 2 or 3 at once) and stick to these tasks without starting on anything else. We know it may be tempting to scrub the bathroom sink or sweep the bedroom floor since it takes the least time, but this takes away from the suffering main living spaces.

Clean in Spurts
Cleaning routines are always beneficial, especially if you do them in bursts by setting a start and end goal to complete your tasks! At Golden Rule Cleaning and More Inc., we found that when families and even solo homeowners set up a nightly 15-minute clean-up routine, the house stays much cleaner throughout the week. If everyone spends 15 minutes of their time every day straightening up the living room, wiping down the kitchen counters, and finally changing that empty roll of toilet paper, you would be surprised just how clean the house will look in the morning. Set a timer, make it a competition, and get to cleaning – and don’t forget to tackle the messiest areas first!
