Today – Tips to Keep your Home Clean During Lockdown
Being stuck at home can seem great for a day or two, but when it’s a lockdown situation, things can easily get out of hand. If you’re suddenly overwhelmed at how difficult it is to get stuff done, and most of all, keep your home clean, here’s a bit of help your way.
Tips to Keep your Home Clean During Lockdown
Read on to discover 6 super effective Tips to Keep your Home Clean During Lockdown that can help you
Focus on One Area Everyday
With kids in the house, it can be a major chaos, and no matter how much you try, your home is definitely going to be a mess. To start with, set realistic expectations, and take things one step at a time. Focus on cleaning one area or space of your home everyday. You can also create a cleaning timeout of 10 minutes everyday where everyone (kids included) will put things away and do their bit to make the space clutter-free.
Tips to Keep your Home Clean During Lockdown – Break it Down
The simplest way to tackle the huge mess that your home is is to break it down into smaller chunks. Don’t try to accomplish all the cleaning in one single day. If that helps, create a daily schedule where you set out 15-20 minutes specifically for cleaning, preferably as you begin the day, so that you feel accomplished.
Clean Up After Meals
Another excellent way to keep your kitchen clean and tidy is to do the dishes right after your meal. It takes just 10-15 additional minutes, but you’ll be surprised at how easy it really is, and how less of a burden it feels like.
Make Chores Fun
The best thing about being on lockdown is that you actually have all the help you need- you just gotta utilize it the right way. You could set up a competition for who cleans up their room faster or ask your kids (and spouse) to help with the little tasks in the kitchen. Delegating can always make a difference.
Tips to Keep your Home Clean During Lockdown – Carry a Task
When going from one room of your home to another, carry a task with you and clean as you go. For instance, if you were sipping on your cup of coffee while working in your study, and now need to use the loo, carry the cup along with you, set it in the sink, and then use the loo. Don’t wait until the end of the day to clean your space.

Schedule Laundry Days
Now that everyone’s pretty much at home, and it’s mostly just sticking to comfortable clothing, you don’t need to do the laundry that often. Just schedule particular days and time slots that you would do it, such that it doesn’t get too overwhelming for you.
