Having a tidier home is a common New Year’s resolution. While hiring a cleaning service can help you meet this goal, there are several steps you can take to set yourself up for success. Here are a few easy tasks to achieve a tidier house in 2021.

How to Enjoy a Cleaner Home in the New Year

1. Tidy Daily

Pick up around the house for 30 minutes before going to bed. This habit makes it easier to manage the clutter that piles throughout the day, like dirty clothes out of the hamper, unsorted mail, and strewn couch pillows.

To help the time fly, play a rerun of your favorite TV show and pick up the mess while listening. If you finish tidying before the program ends, maximize your time by continuing with small, quick tasks, like wiping the countertop and reorganizing fridge magnets.

2. Keep the Sink Clear

Although washing the dishes is tedious, doing the chore every day will prevent dirty plates and pots from piling in the sink. To make the task more enjoyable, invest in nice rubber gloves and dish soap in your favorite scent. You can also play music while scrubbing to avoid focusing on the monotony.

3. Downsize

This task will help keep clutter at bay and create ample storage space to organize your essentials comfortably and stylishly. Start small by throwing out broken or unwanted items from the drawers and cabinets, and go through each room monthly to ensure the clutter doesn’t return. Assess your wardrobe at the end of each season and donate whatever doesn’t fit or hasn’t been worn in a year.
