Top 8 Tips to Make House Cleaning Easier

Most people don’t love cleaning so we’ve put together a few tips to make it easier!

1. Clean As You Go

Tackle messes in the moment—wipe spills, rinse dishes, and put items away right after use. Small actions prevent bigger messes later.

2. Declutter First

Tidying up before cleaning saves time. Less clutter means fewer surfaces to dust, wipe, or vacuum.

3. Use the Right Tools

Invest in quality tools like microfiber cloths, a good vacuum, or chemical-free systems like ENJO or Norwex. The right equipment makes cleaning faster and more effective.

4. Stick to a Routine

Set a weekly schedule and break cleaning into manageable chunks (e.g., bathrooms Monday, dusting Tuesday). It keeps things consistent and prevents buildup.

5. Work Top to Bottom

Always start from the highest point (shelves, counters) and work down. This avoids re-cleaning as dust and debris fall.

6. Use Multipurpose Products

Save time and money with multipurpose cleaners or cloths that work on multiple surfaces. Fewer products mean less hassle.

7. Set a Timer

Give yourself 15–30 minutes per room or task. The time limit helps you stay focused and makes cleaning feel less overwhelming.

8. Get the Whole Family Involved

Assign age-appropriate tasks to kids and share responsibilities with housemates. Cleaning is quicker and builds a sense of teamwork.
