What does it mean to have a clean house?
Having a clean house is a very pleasant experience for the senses, everything looks and feels good. The surfaces, furniture and objects are free of dust and any other elements. There is a pleasant smell in the environment, order, and clear spaces.
Is too many difficult to achieve it? Certainly, maintaining order and cleanliness, most of the time, demands effort and dedication, especially if you have children, pets, or both. But you can achieve it! like almost everything in life, it is about developing a favorable attitude and perseverance.
What can make it difficult to have a clean house with children and pets?
Although you can have a clean house with children and pets, there are several challenges that make this difficult, here we will tell you what they are, and we will give you tips to overcome them:
• Do not set limits: As for pets, for example, you must teach them defined places to eat and relieve themselves from the time they are puppies.
As for children, once they stop being babies and can understand, it is important to teach them to appreciate order and cleanliness.
For example, if they no longer want to play with something, teach them to put the toy away before taking out another. Or agree to collect them all and put them back when finished.
This is part of the process of teaching them to develop a sense of responsibility and commitment. Being permissive does not work, you must set limits.
• Lack of time: Having a clean house with children and pets requires time and dedication. It will be very difficult to achieve the goal in a single day, but if you organize and propose to achieve a small result daily you will achieve it.
You also can trust in specialized companies like Splendore Cleaning to help you keep your home clean, that way you can make a better use of your free time.
How can you have a clean home easier?
The “less is more” principle can help you keep your house clean: the fewer objects, decorations, and things you have, the better when it comes to tidying up and cleaning. If your house is full of things, you will have to invest more energy and time.
Another thing that can help you is having enough storage and storage spaces: having enough space for children to store their toys and belongings will make a difference. The house will look neat and tidy if everything is packed.
Other recommendations
• Keep cleaning products out of the reach of children and pets.
• Vacuum or sweep and remove dust daily: vacuuming is best, as is removing dust with a damp cloth.
• Make the air circulate in the closed spaces: no matter how much care you take on your pet and take great care to clean, odors can be generated.
• Cleaning walls: this is an area that we do not clean as much, and maintenance is necessary because naturally they will get dirtier with children and pets.
• Clean weekly: Clean all areas and with special care the kitchen and bathrooms. These areas, due to their use and conditions, accumulate fat and moisture. It is necessary to clean and disinfect them.
Based on our experience, the ideal is to carry out routine cleaning on a weekly basis. The minimum is every two weeks.
A clean and orderly house is a source of well-being. It allows you to focus on what you want, rest, feel peace and tranquility. With children and pets, it is equally possible if you make the right decisions.
