Cleaning Tips from the Pros: How to Keep Your Home Tidy Between Visits
6 April 20254 min read
Even with regular professional cleaning, keeping your home tidy in between appointments is key to maintaining a healthy and stress-free environment. At Cleaning Assistant, we're often asked: "What can I do between sessions to keep my home looking fresh?"
Here are our top expert-recommended cleaning tips to help you stay on top of household cleanliness—without spending your entire weekend scrubbing.
1. Follow a Simple Daily Routine
A quick 10-minute cleanup each day can prevent messes from piling up:
- Make your bed every morning
- Wipe down high-use surfaces like kitchen counters and bathroom sinks
- Clear clutter from tables and entryways
This small effort goes a long way in maintaining visual cleanliness.
2. Use Natural Cleaning Agents
Common pantry items like white vinegar, baking soda, and lemon are great for light cleaning jobs. They're affordable, safe for most surfaces, and reduce exposure to harsh chemicals.
Try this tip:
- Mix equal parts vinegar and water in a spray bottle for an easy all-purpose cleaner!
3. Target High-Touch Areas Weekly
These include door handles, remote controls, light switches, and fridge handles. These areas are hotspots for germs and should be disinfected weekly.
Use disinfectant wipes or a cloth with NEA-approved cleaner for best results.
4. Rotate Deep-Cleaning Tasks
Create a schedule for tasks like:
- Vacuuming under beds
- Cleaning ceiling fans
- Wiping window ledges and glass
Tackle one task each week so you're never overwhelmed by a full-house deep clean.
5. Declutter One Spot Every Few Days
Keeping your home clean starts with keeping it organised. Choose a drawer, shelf, or small cabinet to tidy up every few days. Less clutter means fewer surfaces to clean and dust.
Bonus Tip: Let Professionals Handle the Heavy Lifting
Your efforts go further when paired with professional cleaning. Our NEA-approved team at Cleaning Assistant ensures your home is fully refreshed during every visit—so all you have to do is maintain the shine.
