Do you often feel like you can never keep your house clean? And that everywhere you look you see nothing but a sea of toys? As a domestic cleaning company based in Alton, we know exactly how it feels when it comes to staying on top of your household cleaning chores with your little ones running around!

So, if you feel like you’re stuck in a rut, constantly cleaning, picking up toys strewed across the floor and wiping up mess, then you’re probably looking for a solution to ensure your time is better spent playing with your kids rather than cleaning up after them.

Taking the first step

Ask yourself this question… are you a consumer who just has too much? If the answer is yes, then we’re afraid you’re suffering a terrible case of hoarder-itus!

The first step in creating a mess-free home is ensuring you’ve sorted through all of you ‘stuff’.  Whether it’s baby clothes, toys or play areas, we often miss the ‘clear out’ stage between kids and end up with a house full of items we no longer need or use.

Our advice

Dig out everything that’s overtaking your house and purge! Get rid of all the non-essentials! Kids grow fast- they grow out of toys, out of clothes, out of phases more than we even know, so purging is a great way to get rid of all your clutter.

Streamlining your items, living without clutter and finding a cleaning method that doesn’t take much time is the first step to waking up in a mess-free home and going to bed in a clean house!

Our two simple rules

In order to keep your home clutter-free you have to stop buying things! Don’t bring more into your home unless you’re fully prepared to get rid of something else.

These two rules will save you a lot of time and money!

Rule 1-  Do not buy unless it’s for birthdays or holidays

This is a tough rule for sure, and perhaps a little hard to adhere to, but added purchases often only add to the mess in your house so if you can stick to buying new toys for birthdays only then you’re on to a winner.

Rule 2- clean up your toys before you play with something new.

No not you, this one’s for the kids! It’ll take some getting used to but making a rule for picking up mess will ensure consistency and also ensure that mess is cleaned up throughout the day.

Following our advice for a cleaner home is easy but it’s the sticking to it that can be somewhat challenging, but never fear because we’re here for you every step of the way!
