How do you keep your house clean??

Question

Parents - How do you keep your house clean with kids??! Days are so crazy and busy and my husband & I are exhausted at nights. I feel like our house is never clean. How often do you deep clean like mop floors, clean toilets, etc? I’m 35 and feel like I haven’t mastered adulting 😭

Answer

Mom of three here, what’s a clean house? 😂 Honestly we do little things here and there, mostly when the kids are sleeping. Things like dishes, laundry, bathrooms, etc. Every sunday, we clean a bit more in depth (vacuum, mop, etc) It’s never perfect but works for us.

Answer

I big part of it for me is basically keeping the mindset to follow through. If you take your shoes off don’t leave them—take the few extra steps to put them away. Load dishes into the machine (or wash them right away) instead of leaving them in the sink. Complete a load of laundry when you start it. That and having the habit of doing a 10 or 15 minute clean up every evening can make a big difference.

My SIL has 4 kids, and her house looks like magazine perfect. I have NO idea how she does it!

Answer

Staying on top of stuff like dishes and laundry. Loading the dishes/ washing right when they are used: not just putting them in the sink for later- the build up is overwhelming to me. Laundry. Wash, dry and put away. If I leave it in the dryer or in a basket- it usually stays there. 
That and staying organized. Kid messes like toys, aren’t a huge deal- a quick 10 minute tidy every evening. Everything has a bin. 
I’m a SAHM though- I know it’s a lot different for working moms/ families.

Y’all have clean houses ?

Answer

It's tough and tbh it's a constant struggle. 
I've found that the thing that works best for me is to never let anything get "out of control". Clean as you go, which translates to cleaning constantly. Wipe your surfaces daily, do laundry as needed, never leave any dirty dishes in the sink, address things as they hit you. Sweep or vacuum every night, mop once a week and scrub your toilets, showers and sinks twice a week.

Answer

Minimalism. Just don’t have stuff you need to spend alot of time cleaning. Look up minimal mom on YouTube

What does that mean? Clean?🤔😣

Answer

I let the house get so messy that I can’t stand it anymore then spend three weekends cleaning….
And I asked my husband for a Roomba for Christmas, so that’s been helpful.

C l e a n   h o u s e ......??? What is this concept? Lol
I have a 28 month old, an 8 month old and a dog. We have no carpet in the house so I sweep the living/dining room mostly everyday (ngl, sometimes I can't be bothered) and fill the dishwasher after the kids go to bed and run it overnight. Laundry gets done once a week generally.
