How to Stick to Your Cleaning New Year's Resolution

The countdown’s on — the new year will be here before we know it‎. For many of us, this means writing down a resolution we hope to carry out through the next year and beyond‎. If one of your goals is to keep your home bright and clean, try these five tips to help your cleaning goals stick‎.

It’s time to get creative — the best cleaning routine is simply the one that works for you‎. If you’re a morning person, set aside 15 minutes every morning to clean or designate a specific day to tackle a deep clean‎. Over time, you’ll find a rhythm that makes this new year’s resolution a breeze‎.

We’ve all been there before, setting lofty goals like “I’m going to clean the entire house today!” What starts with a blaze of energy can quickly fizzle out when you realize the scope of the task ahead‎.

Instead, try breaking down your goal into three specific tasks centered on a certain part of the home‎. For example, set out to make your bed, hang up any clothes, and clear up clutter from the nightstand‎. Clearing one room at a time will refresh your mind and inspire you to keep going‎.

If cleaning feels like a chore, bring a little energy to your routine‎. Blasting your favorite music or turning on the TV can make time pass quickly‎. If you’d rather embrace the calming side of cleaning, light a candle or put on an interesting podcast‎. You can also bring a friend or roommate in on the fun by tackling deep cleaning jobs together‎.

Having fewer items in your space makes it easier to tackle cleaning days‎. Declutter your home regularly by recycling, donating, or tossing unnecessary items and paperwork‎.

One of the best ways to ensure your home stays spotless year-round is by hiring a cleaning service‎. Set yourself up for success by booking a maid service to tackle the deep cleaning for you‎. Whether you opt for a one-time or recurring maid service, you can relax knowing your home is in good shape and you’re living out your New Year’s resolution‎.
