Keep Your Home Clean & Organized All School Year

As school begins, routines shift and schedules fill up fast. A clean and organized home helps reduce stress, boosts productivity, and keeps your family healthy during the busy back-to-school season.
Here are 7 practical cleaning tips to help you stay on track this fall:
1. Reset Your Home After Summer
Start fresh by:
- Decluttering summer gear (toys, towels, flip-flops)
- Rotating seasonal clothes and organizing closets
- Donating unused items
- Wiping down walls, doors, and baseboards
2. Create a School-Day Command Center
Set up a station for:
- Backpacks and lunchboxes
- Daily reminders and schedules (whiteboard/calendar)
- Storage bins for homework, paperwork, and school supplies
3. Disinfect High-Touch Surfaces
Keep germs at bay by regularly wiping:
- Doorknobs and handles
- Light switches and remotes
- Kitchen and bathroom fixtures
Use safe, family-friendly disinfectants.
4. Stick to a Weekly Cleaning Schedule
Break it down to avoid overwhelm:
- Mon: Vacuum high-traffic areas
- Wed: Clean kitchen counters and appliances
- Fri: Sanitize bathrooms and change linens
5. Get the Kids Involved
Teach responsibility with age-appropriate tasks:
- Ages 4–7: Put away toys, wipe surfaces
- Ages 8–12: Take out trash, vacuum, help with laundry
- Teens: Deep clean rooms, assist with dishes and floors
6. Set Up a Homework Zone
Help your kids focus with a clean, quiet study area:
