4 Tips For Keeping Your House Clean After You Have Children

December 27, 2021 by Annie

Keeping your house clean can be difficult even before you have children. You probably lead a busy life and may have trouble finding the time to clean up messes at the same rate at which they are made. But once you have kids, keeping a clean house can start to feel downright impossible! Not only do kids tend to make lots of messes but they also take up a lot of your time, leaving even less time for you to devote to cleaning. Luckily, there are things you can do to keep up on housework no matter how many children you have. Here are 4 tips to help parents keep their houses clean.

Hire Help

One of the best ways to keep your house clean even with lots of kids running around is to hire people to help you. Whether you have a housekeeper who comes once a week or simply takes your clothes to the cleaners, this can make your life so much easier and you will sleep better knowing that you’ll be waking up to a clean home.

Assign Chores

Assigning chores to your children may help you to save some time when it comes to cleaning your home. Plus, it will help them to understand having a job or responsibility, especially if they are rewarded when the chores are done well. When they are younger, start them out with small and simple things such as sweeping or dusting, and as they get older they can be in charge of larger tasks such as dishes and laundry. Of course, your house won’t be as clean as if you hired professional help, but having your kids pitch in can definitely reduce housework for you and make it feel less overwhelming.

Opt For Hardwood Floors

Since children are prone to spilling and carpets are difficult to clean, hardwood floors are a great option for big families. If you can afford to have your carpets ripped up and repaired with hardwoods, you will notice a huge reduction in the time it takes to clean your home.

Give Them Their Own Space

Giving your children each their own space, whether it is an entire bedroom or just a corner of one, will help them to understand the importance of keeping their personal areas clean. Also, this can help to keep their messes contained to their own areas instead of strewn all around the house, making it a win-win.

Having kids doesn’t have to mean having a dirty or messy house forever. You may have to work a little harder to keep your home clean, but hopefully, these tips can help with that!

 

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.
