The official start of summer is a little over 2 weeks away! Of course we are already in summer mode here. My summer starts when the boys get out of school.
My goal each year is to take a little time to relax. I always think that summer break will mean a slower pace and less to do. BUT … somehow I always manage to fill our days with lots of activities and commit to way too many things each week. Maybe one day I will learn to set aside time just to do nothing.
With a busy schedule, I still have to make time to maintain the laundry and keep my home clean. Luckily there are great products from SC Johnson that help me refresh my home with a sparkling clean. Thanks to the various Scrubbing Bubbles® products, Windex® products and Pledge® products available at Publix, I get an amazing clean without a ton of effort.

Cleaning daily
I keep my kitchen sprayed and wiped down with windex. I have been doing this for years and it keeps my kitchen counters, sinks and appliances looking sparkling clean and not to mention the windows too. I get compliments on how nice my kitchen looks all the time:)
Doing some cleaning works every day.
Touch things only once. When the mail comes, put catalogs into the recycle bin immediately and put bills in the to be paid rack. When buying groceries, put them away as soon as you get home. Fold laundry while still warm from the dryer and put it away.
I have used a four week rotating schedule for years and it allows me to stay on track without having to do big clean days.
I put on some music and that helps motivate me to clean. If I’m on the phone I try to clean while I am talking on the phone at home. Also, I try to wipe down counters and the stove daily, just to stay on top of messes so they are easier to clean.
Do some cleaning every day during the week so it isn’t so overwhelming and you can enjoy your week-end. Laundry get done on Wednesday evening at our house.

This makes your home inviting for you and your guests!

The right products to clean with make such a difference. I try to get kids to help by giving each a job and cleaning while listening to music.

My mother starter this when my sister and I were just kids and it kept her house and now my house clean….every night after dinner everyone put in 20 minutes..While mom is tidying the kitchen, I would tackle a bathroom or some laundry, dad would sweep or dust and my sister would go from room to room with a basket grabbing things that didn’t belong and put them away. I make my family do it now and since we got into the routine a few years ago, everyone has a job and it doesn’t even take 20 minutes to tidy up.
My quick tip for keeping my house clean is to put things away right away rather than putting things where they don’t belong.
I put things back where they go right way, my husband and I both clean up after ourselves as we go. I keep clorox wipes in the bathroom for easy clean up.
I keep a bin behind the couch to put things that don’t belong in the living room. Then, once a week, take the things to their proper place.
I mop and dust all my surfaces twice a week.
Pick up items left around the house and wash all dishes before bed. That way you start with a clean house every morning.

I have 6 kids and watch children from my home, so i clean a lot, but my home is never completely clean, but giving the kids chores helps keep the mess manageable.
Keeping things organized and orderly and a quick dusting every other day.
I try and clean as I go during the week (wipe down kitchen counters after each meal, wipe down sink in bathroom after using it, etc.) so that I only need to do a deeper clean once during the weekend.
I put items on the stairs for each child. They take those items up when they go upstairs.
I keep all my cleaning products on the counter until I am done. I spray Windex on my paper towel instead of directly on the mirror (something my mom taught me) I also tie a plastic bag in my belt loop to avoid running back and forth to the garbage can when I am cleaning. Stray socks make great cleaning rags as well!
I keep cleaning products in every bathroom and the kitchen so that I don’t have to walk through the whole house to get one item.
I clean the bathrooms every weekend so I don’t have to worry about them being clean if company comes over. I also use a laundry basket to quickly collect items that are out of place so I can put them away easily.
Every morning, I go through and collect laundry and get it started while drinking my coffee. With 3 kids, it helps.
I clean the kitchen and family room everyday because that’s where we eat and “live”. Then most days I try to focus on one additional room and rotate through the house that way, until its time to start over.
I keep my cleaning products in caddies under the bathroom & kitchen cabinets so everyday I do quick tough ups so I’m not over whelmed with big cleaning duties all at once
I keep my cleaning products in a bucket and go from room to room
use quality cleaning products!
I stay in the habit of putting things back where they belong (or in the trash) the moment I’m done with them.
When folding the laundry, I immediately hang it up or put it in the drawer. I clean daily so I don’t have a big mess by the time the weekend rolls around.

My husband and I will each pick a task to do when we carpool home from work; he’ll vacuum the house while I fold and put away the laundry, or he’ll wipe down the counters and dust while I unload the dishwasher. We get our thing done quickly and we can enjoy the rest of the evening!
