Putting clothes back in the closet or in the laundry hamper (I don’t believe in half-dirty clothes!) I also keep this all-purpose cleaner handy so I can give the kitchen counters and dining room table a quick spritz each night after dinner. Doing dishes and packing lunches before bed. Unpacking school bags and lunch boxes right after school.
Here are the simple habits that make a big difference for our family:ĭaily: Making the beds, bringing in the mail, recycling or shredding anything that doesn’t require attention. When it comes to maintaining a clean and organized home, I’ve found that it’s truly the little things that make a big difference. As a result, the girls are responsible for washing, drying, and putting away the dishes each night after dinner and keeping their rooms in a state that doesn’t prompt me to run away screaming. In addition, I’m a big fan of the mantra “shared space is shared responsibility,” which I learned as a summer camp counselor. This never takes more than fifteen minutes and makes a huge difference for my mental health (even though nobody else in my family cares or notices). In between visits I’ll give the house a quick freshen up (wiping down surfaces and mirrors, and using our cordless vacuum to whisk away any pet hair or dust bunnies). Our family invests in a wonderful housecleaner who comes every other week and always makes our entire home feel sparkly clean. I also keep a container of Oxygen Boost on hand for tougher jobs like cleaning carpets, stain removal, burnt pots and pans, and refreshing grout. I currently have TWO cleaning products under my sink ( The Concentrate) paired with a set of bottles I use to make dish soap, window cleaner, floor cleaner, all-purpose cleaner, and even a laundry solution, just by adding water. When a friend of mine raved about Branch Basics, a fragrance free, non-toxic, baby and pet safe, cleaning concentrate that can be combined with varying amounts of water to create every product you need for your entire home, I gave it a go. I used to buy ALL of the cleaning products which created a chemical jumble under my sink that was both cumbersome to organize and bad for the environment.

Read on for my low-lift, high-impact cleaning routine – plus the eco-friendly products I swear by.
Because of these two opposing truths, I’ve found a way of streamlining and simplifying my cleaning routine to make it feel easy-breezy. Fun fact: I live for a clean house, but I don’t love cleaning.
