Being a parent is messy work. From mopping up spills to clearing the endless clutter, there’s always something to do and you never know what cleaning equipment you’ll need. Luckily though you can follow these expert hacks for cleaning up after your children at home. Simple and affordable, these tricks can save you a lot of time and effort in maintaining a tidy house.
All the toys and supplies that usually clutter up the floor and tables can be neatly hidden away in a special station just for them. You can get creative with a box or chest of drawers and make them a themed storage and play point in the house. Just make sure that they put all the items they’ve played with back when they’re finished. You can also use a dustpan and brush to quickly sweep up any leftover toys.
As well as using dedicated storage you can give their other bits and bobs, such as school bags or stationery, a set place in the house. You can hang up see-through pocket bags and label them so that your children know where to put each of their items. You could even turn this into a decorative feature.
You may find that you can better prevent mess from happening at dinner time by warning them that they won’t be able to leave the table until you’ve cleaned up after them.
Give your children a little incentive to keep things tidy by offering them money for things such as putting things away properly or making their bed. It doesn’t have to be much, only 10p or so for each task, but it may really help to encourage and maintain clean and tidy behaviour.
One simple way to prevent your car from being a mess is to use a hangable shoe holder to store all the items you’d usually let your children take with them in the car. You can also keep essentials like sunscreen or wet wipes in the holder so you’ll never forget them when you’re on the go.
A fun way to get your kids to start helping with the chores is to turn the cleaning session into a sing and dance along. Just put on their favourite music, set a timer and get them to see how much tidying they can do before the time is up!
