How to Make Your Home Easier to Clean (And Keep It That Way)

 

Keeping your home clean doesn’t have to feel like a full-time job. With a few smart changes, you can make your space easier to maintain—and free up more time for the things you actually want to do. 

Declutter First 

The fewer items you have, the less you have to clean. Donate or store anything you don’t use often, and aim to keep countertops and surfaces as clear as possible. 

Choose Easy-to-Clean Materials 

Opt for washable rugs, stain-resistant fabrics, and surfaces like quartz or laminate that wipe down easily. Avoid high-maintenance finishes that require special care. 

Use Closed Storage 

Bins, baskets, and cabinets help hide clutter and reduce dust buildup. Open shelves might look pretty, but they collect grime faster. 

Minimize Decor in High-Traffic Areas 

Too many knick-knacks or decorative pieces make cleaning take longer. Keep it simple, especially in places like the kitchen and living room. 

Invest in the Right Tools 

A good vacuum, a microfiber mop, and quality cleaning supplies can make a huge difference. Keep them accessible so you're more likely to do quick touch-ups. 

With a little planning and the right setup, you can make your home much easier to keep clean—without spending hours every week doing it.
