Keeping a house clean with kids at home (realistically)
By Rosa Herrera · · 4 min read
About half our clients have young kids, and the ones who seem least stressed are not the ones with the cleanest houses. They are the ones with a quick nightly reset.
The fifteen-minute reset
- Toys into one bin per room. Sorting can wait.
- Dishes into the dishwasher and run it.
- Wipe the kitchen table and the high chair tray.
- One load of laundry started, every night.
Let the big stuff go
Mopping, bathrooms, and dusting are what a regular cleaning visit is for. If you are on a biweekly plan, you only have to keep the house livable in between, not clean.
