Setting aside 20 minutes for a quick daily house cleanup will help your maintenance routine feel more manageable and less overwhelming.
Of course, the once-a-month deep cleaning tasks are important and necessary, but by keeping up with a daily house cleanup you’ll make everything much simpler to handle.
Here are our best tips for an easy daily cleaning routine.
Easy Daily Cleaning Routine
Giving everything in your home its own place will help you pick up quickly when you know where things need to go. Think about the areas you use on a daily basis that could benefit from a daily pick-up, like the kitchen, bathroom(s), bedroom(s), and living room, and focus on tackling those areas.
