Back to school time is a busy and stressful time, but it doesn’t have to be. With these helpful cleaning tips, you can get your house in order for the new year without spending hours on end scrubbing floors and bathrooms.

There are lots of back to school cleaning tips out there. But, not many of them are really helpful. Most don’t take into account that everyone’s home is different or that some people just want a few simple steps they can follow quickly. That way they can go enjoy their kids’ first day at school rather than being stuck inside all day doing chores.

I’ve got you covered with these easy-to-follow step-by-step instructions for getting your whole house clean in no time flat. Best of all, you can use everyday household products like vinegar, baking soda, lemon juice, and more!

How to clean a messy home

Before you begin cleaning, it’s important to put things away where they belong. It’s next to impossible to dust or vacuum if you have things scattered all over the floor and every flat surface in the home. 

Take a quick look around the room and put things where they belong. Throw away the trash. Donate things that are no longer useful. And, put things where they belong.

Clean your furniture 

All furniture needs to be cleaned. Using baking soda and a vacuum cleaner, you can make this task easier by sucking up the dust from your surfaces with ease! Simply sprinkle the baking soda on the furniture and vacuum it up. This will freshen the fabric without chemicals.

Dust all surfaces in your house 

Dust is a buildup of dirt, pollutants, and other contaminants that can cause serious health issues if not properly cleaned. Prevent these problems by using dusting as your opportunity to clean! Dust all surfaces in the house – this includes bookshelves, windowsills, tables/desks, etc.

You can wipe down countertops with vinegar and baking soda. And, you can wash windows with a 50/50 mixture of vinegar and water.

Wash the dishes and counters

Make it a habit to wash the dishes as soon as you’re done with them. Not only will this save wear and tear on your dishware, but also keep our kitchen clean and smelling fresh!

Washing off all of those food particles from dirty plates or glasses can be difficult if we let too much time go by between uses. That’s especially true for stubborn stains like tomato sauce or oil that’s been used in cooking meat earlier in the day. That’s why washing after each use helps make cleanup quicker and easier down the road!

Finish the laundry

Fold your clothes and put them away rather than stacking them. If you want your folded clothing items such as skirts, shorts, and shirts to look nice once again then it’s best if you store them in a place where the fabric can remain soft. That way there won’t be creases or wrinkles from stacking your clothes.

Wipe down appliances

Wiping down the inside of your refrigerator and microwave with soap is a great way to keep them clean! With microwaves, it’s important not only to wipe out any spills that happen while cooking but also on all sides as well. If you’ve noticed streaks in your fridge or freezer from condensation, then wiping these appliances with water will help remove this buildup over time.

Finally, while you’re at it, be sure to clean out the refrigerator and make note of any lunch supplies you need for back to school.

Vacuum the house thoroughly

In order to keep your house clean, it’s important that you vacuum on a regular basis. Thankfully there are multiple ways of doing so with more technological advances than ever before like the Neato Robotic D8 Vacuum Cleaner.
