A Smarter Way to Clean - Part 1

Wondering how to clean smarter? For starters, there's really no right or wrong way to clean. Cleaning — regardless of how you do it — is a major feat in itself that should be celebrated. The fact that you cleaned at all is a win: Having a clean home can bring about a clearer mind and psyche. Once your home is clutter-free and organized, the more focused you will feel so you can move on to other important tasks. If everything is in its place, the more productive you can be.

1. Declutter first.
Before you dust, wipe, and scrub, one of the first things you should do is pick up, and put away everything that has gathered on the floor. Then, do the same with all the surfaces. What makes cleaning so difficult for some people is that they have too much lying around the house. We always suggest that doing some decluttering will make cleaning so much faster since everything is put away in its home.

2. Gather supplies.
When it comes to cleaning, getting started should entail creating a special station for all of your cleaning supplies and products. Devote one bucket or caddy to carry around the house with you while you clean.

3. Make a schedule.
Having a schedule and cleaning cadence can give your home the focus it deserves, while also keeping your mind in check. There's no sense in cleaning the same space over and over again if you're neglecting other parts of your home. Divide your cleaning tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly lists. We have went over earlier on how to get this done so refer to those emails!

These are just the things to get you started. Doing these simple steps will get you over the hump (that you make yourself) and actually give you success in cleaning your home.

This is only part one! Stay tuned for part two!
