How To Keep Your House Clean When You Have Little Kids

June 11, 2018 by Annie

Keeping a spotless home seems like mission impossible when you have kids. In one respect, that’s accurate – children are notorious mess makers, and unless you plan on cloning yourself, there is no way your house will ever be as clean when you and your spouse were DINKS (double income, no kids).

That said, it is possible to make your home spiffier than it is right now. Check out the Common Cents Mom Blog for help and for now, we’ll drop a few tips that will help you make this happen below.

Clean as you go

Going with the flow is one of the best ways we keep our home halfway respectable looking. Wash dishes as you cook, pick up toys as you come across them, vacuum up messes as you encounter them. It is a very zen way of approaching the cleaning process as you adapt it into your routine.

By keeping relevant cleaning supplies within easy reach (the ones which aren’t hazardous to your little ones), you can seamlessly jump into action whenever you see something that needs fixing, wiping, or cleaning.

However, we will concede this process can get tedious on some days – there is only so much you can do, after all. When things are getting a bit too hairy for you to manage, step away from your role as cleaner-in-chief, tap your significant other and get them to take over, and take time out for you.

This can mean watching your favorite TV show, having a hot bath, or curling up with your laptop and playing exciting games on the internet. If Words With Friends is a bit too tame for you, know there are plenty of sites out there which offer casino games.

Many accept fiat currency, but if you are a cryptocurrency investor, others take e-tokens like Bitcoin and Ethereum. Offering games like blackjack, video poker, and roulette among others, you’ll have all the entertainment options you’ll need to take your mind off whatever is stressing you out.

Interested? Have a look here – we wish you nothing but good luck at the tables!

Get your kids to help

Want to get your house cleaned faster while teaching your children how to be respectable adults? Get them to help put their toys away. Ask them in an encouraging manner – most kids like the idea of helping when it seems more like a game than an obligation.

Do this on a regular basis, and a day may come where you don’t have to ask them to help – they’ll just do it on their own.

Get your kids in the habit of donating older toys as the years go by

After a few years of birthdays and holiday seasons, the toys you, your family, and your friends buy for your kids will overwhelm their playroom – that’s just science.

Instead of letting yourself be overwhelmed by a tidal wave of blocks, Hot Wheels, and dolls, sit down with your kids and talk with them about the importance of providing for the less fortunate and how they have tons of toys they don’t even touch anymore.

Go together to a toy drive around the holidays and let them feel the joy that comes from putting a smile on the face of kids who never asked to be poor – it won’t just clear out your house, it will make your children better human beings.

About Me

Hi! I'm Annie and I have 3 kids (all in their teens - yikes!). My mommy blog isn't all about lunches and DIY - it's also about humour. Like how my kids make fun of my texts as if I don't know how to use emojis (I DO!). Now that I have a bit more time - since my kids don't want to hang out with me (teenagers), I have taken up blogging.
