How to Keep Your Home Clean and Tidy with Kids

July 30, 2023

As a homeowner and parent, maintaining a clean and organized home can be a challenge, especially with kids running around. However, with a few simple strategies and habits, you can keep your home tidy and welcoming, even with little ones underfoot. Here are some tips to help you achieve a clean and clutter-free home while raising a family.

1. Create a Cleaning Schedule

Develop a cleaning routine that works for you and your family. Assign tasks to each member of the household, including children, to ensure everyone contributes to maintaining a clean home. Consider creating a chore chart or checklist to track responsibilities and keep everyone accountable.

2. Declutter Regularly

Get rid of items you no longer need or use. Go through toys, clothes, and other belongings regularly and donate or discard items that are no longer useful. This will help reduce clutter and make cleaning easier.

3. Teach Children to Clean Up After Themselves

Teach your children the importance of cleaning up after themselves. Encourage them to put away toys and books, wipe down surfaces, and help with laundry. Make it a habit by setting aside time each day for tidying up.

4. Use Storage Solutions

Invest in storage solutions such as bins, baskets, and shelves to keep items organized and out of sight. Labeling storage containers can help children quickly identify where items belong, making cleanup easier.

5. Keep Cleaning Supplies Accessible

Keep cleaning supplies in easy-to-reach locations, so children can help with cleaning tasks. Make sure products are safe and child-friendly to avoid any accidents or harm.

6. Practice the “One-Touch Rule”

Teach your children the “one-touch rule,” which means that they should put things away in their designated place as soon as they’re done using them. This habit can help maintain a clutter-free home and reduce cleaning time.

7. Use a ‘Clean as You Go’ Approach

Encourage your family to clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen. This approach will prevent crumbs and stains from becoming stubborn messes that are difficult to clean.

8. Don’t Forget the Little Things

Pay attention to small details like wiping down light switches, doorknobs, and other high-touch areas regularly. These little things can make a big difference in maintaining a clean and healthy home environment.

9. Make Cleaning Fun

Transform cleaning into a fun, bonding experience for the whole family. Play music, have a race against time, or turn cleaning into a game to make it more enjoyable.

10. Be Consistent and Patient

Remember that maintaining a clean home with kids requires consistency and patience. Stick to your cleaning routine, and don’t get discouraged by setbacks. With time and practice, your family will develop good habits that lead to a cleaner, more relaxed living space.

Keeping your home clean and tidy with kids requires effort, patience, and consistency. By implementing these strategies, you can create a welcoming and comfortable living environment for your family while teaching valuable life skills to your children.

However, with the demands of parenting, the clutter and dirt can quickly pile up, making it overwhelming and time-consuming to keep up. Our regular cleaning service is here to help you maintain a sparkling clean home while you focus on playing and adventuring with your kids.

What Our Clients Say

Melanie Howell

Had Alissa from Tucson Home Cleaners over for a deep clean, and the service was wow! With my crazy schedule, cleaning's been on the back burner. Alissa just zoomed through the place, hitting spots I totally forgot existed. My kitchen and bathrooms? Sparkling. And she was super cool about working around my chaos. Seriously, if you're thinking about it, go for it. Alissa's a gem.

Michael Smith

Huge shoutout to Tucson Home Cleaners! Just moved into my first condo and wanted everything to be spick and span. These guys made it happen. From the floors to the countertops, everything was spotless when I walked in. Moving day was a breeze, thanks to their hard work. 10/10 would hire them again!

I recently booked Tucson Home Cleaners for a premium cleaning service. It was worth every penny. My place has never looked better. They paid attention to every detail, even those hard-to-reach spots I always forget about. Walking into a clean home after a long day at work was the best feeling ever. Highly recommend their premium cleaning service.

David Thomas

Had the post-construction cleaning service done by Tucson Home Cleaners, and I couldn't be happier. After weeks of renovations, my house was a mess. But these guys came in and worked their magic. They left no corner untouched, and now my home feels brand new. Professionalism and attention to detail are unmatched.

Tucson Home Cleaners are absolute gems! Moms know how holding a children's party can be exhausting, but booking them for both before and after cleanup was a great idea. Before the party, they made sure everything was sparkling clean. And afterwards, they arrived promptly and worked their magic, leaving my house spotless again. It was such a relief to kick back and relax, knowing they had everything under control.
