Top 5 House Cleaning Tips for Busy Homeowners

Guidelines Before You Begin

  • Estimated Time: 20-30 minutes per session
  • What You’ll Need: Microfiber cloth, multi-surface cleaner, vacuum, trash bag
  • Frequency: Daily for small tasks, weekly for bigger areas
  • Pro Tip: Start with the room you use most—a clean space boosts your mood and productivity!

We believe even the busiest homeowners deserve a sparkling home. These simple yet effective tips are designed to fit into your hectic schedule while keeping your home fresh and inviting.

1. Focus on High-Touch Spots

Prioritize areas like doorknobs, light switches, countertops, and remote controls. These spots collect dust, germs, and fingerprints more than any other part of your home. Spend just 10 minutes a few times a week wiping these surfaces, and you’ll notice a big difference.

If time is tight, let us help! Our residential cleaning service at Complete Clean Canada covers these often-missed areas to keep your home healthy and clean.

2. Clean One Room at a Time

Don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to clean your entire home in one day. Instead, focus on one room per day:

  • Monday: Kitchen
  • Tuesday: Bathrooms
  • Wednesday: Bedrooms
  • Thursday: Living Room

This routine keeps your home manageable and prevents tasks from piling up. Need a deeper clean in any room? Our deep cleaning services are perfect for giving your home a thorough refresh.

3. Declutter Before You Clean

Clutter can slow down your cleaning routine. Spend 5-10 minutes picking up items like clothes, toys, or paperwork before you start wiping or vacuuming. Less clutter means less surface to clean!

Struggling with major clutter or moving out? Our move-in/move-out cleaning services help ensure everything is spotless and organized.

4. Use the Right Tools

Equip yourself with time-saving tools:

  • Cordless vacuum for quick floor cleanups
  • Microfiber cloths that trap dust better than paper towels
  • Multi-surface cleaner to reduce the number of products you use

At Complete Clean Canada, we only use eco-friendly products to keep your space safe for kids and pets. Learn more about our eco-friendly cleaning services and why they’re better for your home.

5. Set a Timer and Stick to It

Use a 15-minute timer to clean any area of your home. This simple trick helps you stay focused without feeling overwhelmed. Even a short burst of cleaning can make your home feel refreshed.

Some days are too busy—that’s where we come in. Our flexible cleaning packages at Complete Clean Canada work around your schedule so your home stays spotless, even when life gets hectic.
