How Do I Keep The Home Clean? House Cleaning for Busy Moms

Like a lot of families in 2023, Rod and I make house cleaning a family affair, both here at Casa de Myers and at work. LOL see what we did there?!

But we know there are still plenty of Busy Moms out there with full plates, who take the lead role in taking care of their home and their families’ day-to-day needs. Since we’ve never met a mom who wasn’t looking for ways to improve their efficiency and find time for more enjoyable tasks; we’ve packed this week’s blog with time-saving house cleaning tips for busy moms.

New moms, single moms, working moms, and stay-at-home moms… this one’s for you!

Five quick and easy house cleaning techniques to help you get some time back.

1. Multitask, but keep it a light duty.

Imagine accomplishing twice as much in a day? Cool, right! While you wait for your coffee to brew you can wipe down your kitchen counters. Or, start a load of laundry before you start some much needed family time. Then when you transition out of that family time, or take a quick break, you can switch it over. I love to fold a basket of fresh clean clothes in front of my favorite Netflix show, after my kids are in bed. It’s the perfect way to chill out and get points for keeping the house clean.

2. Establish an easy house cleaning routine

Have a simple cleaning routine and clean certain areas when it makes the most sense. Make your bed before you leave your room in the morning so it doesn’t stress you out at bedtime. Get the kids to help you tidy up their mess before moving on to something new, so the mess doesn’t accumulate and overwhelm you later. Wipe down your shower walls right after you take a shower, why not?! They’re easier to clean when they are steamy!

3. Make cleaning a little more fun

Listen to music or podcasts while you clean: This can make cleaning more enjoyable and help pass the time. Try to listen to a meditation or a motivational podcast – but not something that needs to be watched as that would be distracting. This will help you to keep your deep focus on the task at hand and can motivate you all throughout the day.

4. Have multiples

The Laundry can be NEVER ENDING! It can be frustrating and time-consuming. Have multiple sets of sheets and towels so you don’t have to do laundry as often.

5. Freshen up your home effortlessly

Find ways to keep your home fresh that take no time or effort at all. Plug in a diffuser and let the scent of your favorite essential oil blend make your home smell clean, fresh and welcoming. Better yet, take an even more natural approach by bringing the clean scent of nature inside with potted flowers and plants. Not only do they smell great, they’re also known to help improve the air quality in your home.

6. Hire a professional house cleaning company, like My Elite Clean

To take care of the essential cleaning tasks that need to be done regularly. Think dusting, vacuuming, bathrooms, kitchens and more. When these tasks are off your list, you can focus on other tasks and maybe even save some time for yourself!

House cleaning doesn’t have to be as hard as it sounds. Your housework doesn’t have to get in the way of caring for your family and enjoying life.

Now that we’ve shared some of our best house cleaning tips for busy moms, we bet you’ve got a few of your own. We’d love to hear from you in the comments below.

Looking for a house cleaning company near you? Asking yourself is hiring a cleaner worth it?

Is hiring a cleaner worth it?

This is a valid question! One that we have been asked every so often. Not surprisingly, since we are a cleaning company and people genuinely want to know if what we do is worth their hard earned money.

If you’ve ever searched for “a house cleaning company near me”, then you’ve seen just how many results come back. Just how do you choose? We’re going to spend the next few blogs sharing some of the answers to the top questions about house cleaning companies and how to judge if hiring a house cleaning company is worth it.

So is hiring a cleaner worth it?

To answer this question we first need to look at what a good cleaner does when they come to clean your home. A typical cleaning company would include the following services in their standard packages. Now this may not be what everyone does, but it’s definitely what the professional service providers I know do.

General dusting
All floors; sweep/vacuum and mop
Clean moving glass (front and sliding doors)
Clean exterior of kitchen appliances (plus interior of microwaves)
Wipe light switch plates
Empty trash cans as needed
General straightening completed
Kitchen and bathroom sinks, countertops, toilets, shower, tub (clean, sanitize, polish) as well as all glass, mirrors. and chrome

Ok, so now we have a basic idea of what they will do when you hire a cleaner to clean your home. So now let’s look at the time you save by letting someone else do the housework. Let’s consider how many other things you can accomplish in the time you would spend cleaning before you hired a cleaner. Look at all the time you just freed up to spend with your kids, or to look after yourself.

I know, I know. “But hiring a cleaner is expensive”. We hear it all the time. But take a second look at that list above. How long would it take you to do all of that cleaning? Would you enjoy it? Could your time be better spent doing something – anything else – besides cleaning?

When was the last time you did something for just you?

Let’s face it, as moms, wives, employees, even employers we are always putting others first and leaving ourselves at the very bottom of the “take care of” list. You know what I’m talking about. The kids “need” to have that new game, your spouse must have those new golf clubs, even the dog gets a spa day before you’d ever think of doing something for just you. So why not spoil yourself just a little and let someone else clean up the house for you? Think about what hiring a cleaner means for you. Someone else can empty those smelly garbage cans, clean the toilets and mop the floors. Sounds good, right?? You are finally taking care of you!

And what will you do with this new found free time?

I can think of a few things now that you are hiring a cleaner!

Read that book that you have wanted to ready for ages
Grab a glass of your favorite wine and sit out on the patio enjoying the fresh air and sunshine.
Go to the gym (or not!)
Have lunch with some friends you have seen in forever
Take a nap! (Don’t worry, we won’t tell!)
Take up a new hobby
Do a little gardening
Explore the City

Whatever you want really! This is time you are creating just for yourself, so don’t even think of trying to justify it to others. Just grab it, enjoy it and have no regrets. You have earned this after all. Hiring a cleaner is worth it! There is no doubt about it.

Mom Smarter, Not Harder

Five easy ways to manage everything on your (very) full Mom plate

Juggling full-time jobs, trying to get kids up and ready for school, taking care of everything in the house (the laundry is piling up again!) – it’s no wonder we are ex-haust-ed. And we haven’t even mentioned the invisible list of “stuff” no one knows about but still has to get done around the house. The Avengers have got nothing on you, Mom! And while this is a testament to your awesomeness, being a “superhero” can also take its toll. It’s okay to admit it. Juggling can be a struggle, Mom!

It’s OK to lighten your load, Mom!

“But I’m a mom. Being busy is part of the package.”

“If I don’t do it, who will?”

“I’d feel guilty if I hired someone to do that.”

We’ve all been there! Let me remind you again:

“It’s okay not to do everything yourself.”

Reread it one more time.

“It’s okay not to do everything yourself.”

You see, the problem with getting everything done is that chances are, you won’t. You’ve only got a limited number of hours per day (and time travel hasn’t been invented yet). And when you do get close to getting it all done, you end up burnt out, exhausted, a little (or a lot) snappy, and resentful that you have to do it all again tomorrow. Because as you know, there are no holidays for moms.

So what are your options? How about, Mom smarter, not harder.

Five ways to save time by sharing the load

1. Team up and ask for help

Don’t be afraid to ask for help! Just because your daughter needs to get to soccer doesn’t mean you have to be the one to drive her. Coordinate with other parents on the team and see how you can set up a carpool—taking turns once a week can save you a lot of time and free you up to do other essential tasks, or even sit with a magazine and some good tunes. What’s great about this approach is it also works for helping with homework and even meal prep (lasagna exchange, anyone?).

2. Delegate household chores to your kids and partner

Kids (and spouses!) can learn a lot from doing chores themselves. They can even gain an appreciation for how much you do on the daily. To keep them on track, create a board with a checklist of all tasks and their deadlines. Increase the fun factor with rewards for a job well done!

By the way, don’t forget to give them a proper “orientation” on getting chores done. Or you’ll find yourself fixing it later.

3. Get organized and use technology to automate tasks

There are apps for virtually everything these days—from keeping track of chores to scheduling who needs a ride and even your grocery lists. Stay organized and remind everyone of what needs to be done. Apps can help you stay on track without lifting another finger.

4. Arrange for a babysitter

Sometimes all you need is a couple of hours to get things crossed off your list. So when the kids are home and you are running short on time, call in reinforcements. Make arrangements with other moms in the neighborhood to take turns to watch your kids. Know a young adult looking for babysitting gigs? Keep them on speed dial. If Grandma is close by, watching the kids is likely one of her favorite pastimes!

Arranging childcare can be a total time and sanity saver for those days where there are just too many things going on.

5. Tag in the professionals

Sometimes there aren’t enough hands or hours in a day to get everything done, like buying milk and bread for breakfast. But that’s okay. There are options like grocery pick-up and delivery services available that are huge time savers. You can also hire cleaning services like our experienced team at My Elite Clean. We’re the affordable and efficient white-glove cleaning service that clients trust. Because we make it easy (and stress-free) to keep your home sparkling and fresh. Be the envy of all your friends. They will want to know how you do it all and still have time for R&R!

Time to tackle tomorrow, better!

Congratulations, Mom! You’ve made it through another day. We know that there never seems to be enough time in the day for housework between work and taking care of the family. That’s why our professional team of detailed-oriented cleaners is standing by, ready to sweep your home back into shape.

So if you’re ready to cross off “clean the house” on your to-do list, Book Us Today.

We’ll take care of everything, while you enjoy well-deserved rest!

Love is in the air at Casa de Myers

What does LOVE have to do with house cleaning?!

EVERYTHING!

Love is in the air all around us this time of year!

Valentine’s Day brings out the romance in all of us, and Casa de Myers is no exception!

We love Valentine’s Day and the fact that you get to show your love for not just your spouse (although he is pretty fabulous!), but also for the rest of your loved ones – sons, daughters, and especially grandkids! Although we like to do the typical flowers, dinner and candy, we also love to spoil our grandkids just a little (ok, a lot!). I’m not sure how much their mom appreciates the sugar high, but that’s the job of a grandparent isn’t it? Wind them up and send them back to their parents.

Rod and I love the time we get to spend with each other on Valentine’s Day and we are thankful each and every day to have our family, friends and each other. With the busy lives we all seem to live in today’s hectic world, finding time to spend with your loved ones can be tough with everything else going on in life. From running the kids from this activity to that activity, working, volunteering and making sure the house is presentable, it can be a challenge to squeeze in time for what really matters.

Why not let My Elite Clean take some of the pressure off. We can’t drive your kids around, but we can make sure your house is spotless when you get home! And really, why not put a little love in the air by having us come and clean the house for you as a gift to yourself! There is no better gift than freeing yourself of some of the mundane tasks that take up so much of your precious time. Let us do it for you! Plus, it is Valentine’s Day after all, so why not show your house a little extra love!

Contact My Elite Clean to start your weekly or bi-weekly cleaning and give yourself the freedom from housework that you deserve. We have packages that fit every budget and we would love to take house cleaning off your plate! If you aren’t quite ready to commit to a weekly/bi-weekly schedule, why not try out our service by having us come and do a deep, one-time cleaning for you? It will let you see if you like our service and you’ll get to experience that feeling of coming home to a sparkling clean home. I’m pretty confident that once you have experienced it, you will want to enjoy it again and again!
