Housecleaning Resolutions for 2019

Have you resolved to maintain a sparkling home in 2019?

A clean house is vital for the well-being of all who live in it! However, it can be tough to keep up with your house cleaning in addition to life’s demands.

Setting some housecleaning resolutions can be helpful in this regard.

Here are some ways you can commit to keeping your home clean in 2019.

Commit to a Weekly Fridge Cleanout

When it comes to housecleaning, it’s easy to overlook the fridge. Most of us only do a fridge cleanout once or twice a year!

However, cleaning out your fridge on a weekly basis can make this task less daunting. It can also maintain a hygienic and clean kitchen.

Clean out your fridge weekly, discarding leftovers or produce that has gone bad. Wash storage containers promptly and check expiration dates on dairy and meat products.

Wipe down the trays and shelves, too, to prevent the build-up of residue.

Make Your Bed Daily

Did you know that making your bed every morning can actually improve your day?

Beyond this, making your bed prior to leaving your home can keep general house messiness to a minimum. What’s more, it only takes a few minutes!

Encourage children and other family members to follow suit with this easy cleaning task.

Craft a Cleaning Schedule

If you are having trouble committing to housecleaning tasks in general, create a cleaning schedule. Ideally, build a schedule that incorporates smaller tasks, spread across several days.

If you have other family members in the home, divvy these tasks out to them as well.

Do your best to commit to weekly, rather than monthly tasks. Weekly cleaning is likely to take far less time and can be less intimidating in the long run.

Clean Bathroom Surfaces Before Bed

If you’ve always wanted to wake up to clean spaces, wipe down your bathroom surfaces before going to bed. This shouldn’t take more than a minute. If you feel like it, clean the mirror, too.

This can make weekly bathroom cleans easier, and it will make you feel better when you wake up to a sparkling sink.

Hire Professional Cleaners

If you simply do not have the time to commit to the house cleaning you crave, you can always hire professional cleaners.

In fact, this is one of the most effective house cleaning resolutions out there. Professional cleaners can leave your house dazzling in no time, and often at a reasonable cost.

This is especially valuable if you have a large home or are a parent to several children.
