How to Keep Your House Clean Between Professional Visits

Want to keep that fresh & clean feeling in your house? You don’t have to kick the whole family out to keep things clean… Effortlessly maintain a spotless house with these tips! 

Sand, dirt, pet hair, fingerprint smudges: maintaining a clean home can be a real challenge. At Maid Impressions, we aim to make your life easier by taking the stress out of home cleaning. But, what about the period between our professional cleaning visits? How do you maintain that sparkle and cleanliness in your home?  

We share some easy and effective ways to keep your house clean between professional cleanings. 

Creating Daily Cleaning Habits 

Daily cleaning habits can significantly help maintain the cleanliness of your home. Some simple tasks you can incorporate into your daily routine:  

• Wiping down kitchen surfaces after every meal 
• Making the bed as soon as you wake up 
• Picking up clutter around the house 
• Sweeping high-traffic areas 

By following these *small daily habits, you can keep your house looking organized and clean until the next time we clean your space! 

Focus on High-Traffic Areas 

High-traffic areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, and living room tend to accumulate sand, dirt, dust, and clutter more than other areas.  

Concentrating on these areas can greatly reduce the spread of dirt in your home. Regular dusting and vacuuming in these areas, in addition to spot-cleaning as necessary, can make a significant difference. 

This is especially key if we only professionally clean your home once or twice a month!  

Proper Use of Cleaning Tools 

We have all the cleaning gear your home could need, but depending on how often we clean your home, you may want to invest in a few high-quality cleaning tools. The right products & tools can help you keep your house clean! 

For instance, understanding when to use a microfiber cloth versus a duster or a mop can result in more effective cleaning. If you have a glass shower enclosure, you may want to pick up a squeegee to help prevent soap scum between professional cleanings too.  

Managing Clutter Effectively 

Keeping your home free from clutter is a crucial part of maintaining cleanliness. A cluttered home not only looks disorganized but also makes cleaning more difficult.  

To manage clutter effectively:
 

• Organize as you go: Rather than waiting for clutter to accumulate, tackle it as you go. When you’re done using something, put it back where it belongs immediately.
   
• Have a place for everything: Assign a specific place for every item. This will make it easier for you to locate things and reduce the chances of clutter accumulating.
   

• Regularly declutter: Go through your belongings regularly and get rid of items you and your family no longer need or use. This could be done monthly or seasonally, depending on your needs. 

Managing clutter effectively can go a long way in keeping your house clean and orderly, making it easier for you to keep up between your scheduled visits with us.
