Cleaning your home before the new school year
If your cleaning routine has lapsed over the summer holidays, now’s the time to get it back on track. The kids have been off for six long weeks, and the chances are that your house has felt the impact. You might have hired a cleaner while you went on a family holiday, but now that you’re back you’ve got a floor full of scribbled-in colouring books and broken crayons, courtesy of your five-year-old, and an upstairs bedroom littered with your teen’s dirty plates and used socks. Rather than waiting for them to start school in September, it’s a good idea to get your house in ‘back to school’ shape as soon as possible.
We know that it’s near-impossible to find time to clean up when you’ve got little ones to look after and entertain, or a messy teen hanging around the house all summer. On top of this, there’s a lot to sort out before school starts back – uniforms to wash and iron, school bags to organise and pack, and rooms to tidy. By de-cluttering your house now, you’ll be able to keep on top of things better when your kids go back to school. If you’ve got young children, it’s likely that the new school year is going to result in a new array of glittery artistic creations, not to mention the muddy sports kits that will need washing!
Professional cleaning to get your home in shape for the new school year
Convincing your children to help you out around the house can often be a challenge. You could try to turn it into a game for the little ones, or offer to reward your teen with a treat, such as a ‘movie night’, when the work is done. Having the kids sort through their school uniforms, sports kits, stationary and school books is a great start.
If you need a helping hand with cleaning the rest of the house, then your best option is to hire a professional. It’s more affordable than you realise, and a cleaner will have your house looking beautiful within hours – leaving you time to focus on preparing your children for their return to school. As well as ironing, hoovering, mopping, wiping and polishing, a cleaner can help you with bigger tasks, such as removing that stain in the carpet.
If you’re struggling to find time to blitz the house properly with the kids around, then a cleaner from Efficient Cleaning London could come for an hour or two to get everything into shape, or arrange to visit while you and the family are having a day out.
