5 Tips to Keep Your Home Sparkling Between Cleanings

Keeping your home looking fresh and inviting doesn’t have to be a full-time job. With a few simple habits, you can maintain that sparkling clean feel between your scheduled Maidy cleanings. Here are five super-easy tips to keep your space looking its best.

1. Tackle High-Traffic Areas Daily

Instead of stressing over cleaning your whole house every day, focus on high-traffic areas. This means wiping down kitchen counters, tidying up the living room, and giving your bathroom sink a quick clean. A little attention to these spots can go a long way!

Quick Tip: Keep disinfectant wipes or a microfiber cloth handy to quickly wipe down surfaces when needed.

2. Create a “Daily Reset” Routine

Set aside 10-15 minutes every evening to do a quick reset of your space. Put away clutter, fluff pillows, do a quick vacuum of high-traffic areas, and straighten up common spaces. It’s amazing how much difference a short burst of tidying can make.

Quick Tip: Set a timer and make it a game – see how much you can accomplish before the buzzer goes off!

3. Adopt the “One-Touch Rule”

This rule is a game-changer: When you pick something up, put it away immediately. Whether it’s mail, dishes, or laundry, avoid setting items down temporarily. Instead, put them where they belong to reduce clutter and keep things organized.

Quick Tip: Keep baskets or organizers in strategic spots to make it easy to put things away quickly.

4. Keep Cleaning Supplies Within Reach

It’s easier to do small, quick clean-ups if you have your supplies handy. Store all-purpose cleaner and paper towels in key spots like the kitchen, bathroom, and living room. That way, you can tackle spills or messes as soon as they happen.

Quick Tip: Consider creating a “Cleaning Caddy” with your go-to supplies, making it simple to grab and go.

5. Make Your Bed Every Morning

It sounds basic, but starting your day with a made bed gives your room an instant boost. Plus, it sets a productive tone for the rest of your day. It’s a small habit with a big payoff!

Quick Tip: If you’re feeling fancy, add a fresh spritz of fabric spray for a clean, welcoming scent.
