Have you ever walked into a house or a room and felt an immediate sense of calm because everything just ‘feels’ clean? Creating that sensation in your own home doesn’t have to be overwhelming. By focusing on key areas and simple tasks, you can transform your home into a haven of cleanliness and comfort. Here are ten things that make your house feel clean and inviting. Bonus: these things only take a couple minute a piece – if you’re feeling like everything is a mess, start here.

  • Clean Toilets – A quick wipe-down and a weekly deep clean (on Mondays with the Clean Mama Routine) helps to keep everything fresh and clean. Don’t forget under the rim, the hinges, and the base!
  • Fresh Towels – Swapping out bathroom and kitchen towels daily or every day gives your towels that just cleaned look and feel.
  • Tidied Up Furniture – Take a few minutes each day to straighten up cushions, fold throws, and put away any out-of-place items. This small habit keeps your space looking neat and tidy.

  • Clean Switches and Switch Plates – Switches and switch plates are often overlooked but can hold germs and grime. Wipe them down regularly with rubbing alcohol to keep them looking and feeling clean and to reduce the spread of germs.
  • No Dishes on the Counters – Keeping your counters clear of dishes instantly makes your kitchen feel cleaner. Make it a habit to load the dishwasher or wash dishes after use. A clutter-free counter is a game-changer for your kitchen’s cleanliness.
  • Clean Kitchen Sink – A clean sink is a happy sink! Scrub your sink daily to prevent stains and build-up. The Nightly Sink Scrub leaves your sink sparkling and fresh.

  • Clean Baseboards – Baseboards can collect a surprising amount of dust and dirt. A quick vacuum or wipe-down with a damp cloth keeps them looking crisp and clean. This small task makes a big impact on the overall look of your home.
  • Clean Appliance Fronts – Shiny, smudge-free appliance fronts make your kitchen look polished. Wipe them down regularly with a microfiber cloth and a gentle cleaner to maintain their gleam and make your kitchen feel spotless.
  • Spot Free Mirrors – Use a streak-free glass cleaner and a lint-free cloth to keep your mirrors shining bright. Clean mirrors can make any room feel more open and airy.
  • Clean, Fresh Smell – A home that smells clean feels clean. Frequently opening windows for fresh air,  and keep your home well-ventilated. A pleasant scent can uplift your mood and enhance the cleanliness of your space.

By focusing on these ten areas, you can create a home that feels clean, comfortable, and inviting every day. Remember, it’s the little things that add up to a big difference. Join us in Homkeeeping Society to discover the secret to getting it all done!
