So, here are 5 cleaning New Year’s resolutions to help you achieve a clean bill of health, wealth, and happiness over the next 12 months.

Keep A Daily, Weekly & Monthly Cleaning Routine

One of the best and most effective cleaning New Year resolutions is to keep a daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning routine. This will help you and your family to keep on top of your chores. Here is an example of what tasks you might have on your cleaning schedule.

Declutter Once A Month

If you’re a homeowner, keeping your house clean and clutter-free can sometimes feel a little overwhelming. So to help you keep on top of your clutter, make decluttering one of your cleaning New Year resolutions. To declutter, make two piles. One to throw away broken and stained items and another to donate to charity. You can donate clothes, shoes and good quality items and free up some space at home. Decluttering will help clear your mind and has been proven to help combat stress and anxiety.

Deep Clean & Organize The Fridge

Your fridge door is a high-touch surface in your home that needs to be wiped door and sanitized often. A fantastic New Year resolution for 2021 is to deep clean and organize your fridge every couple of weeks. First, remove all the items in your fridge and put them to one side. You’ll be surprised at the things that can be overlooked and are now lurking at the back of your fridge! Next, take out the shelves and storage compartments to wash in the sink with warm soapy water. While they’re air drying, vacuum any crumbs and dust inside the fridge, and then wipe down the inside. Dry out your fridge using a soft clean cloth and organize your food items as you put them back in to chill.

Go Chemical Free

This year alcohol and chemical-based cleaning products have been in high demand due to Covid-19, but did you know you can thoroughly sanitize and clean your home with kitchen cupboard staples. Lemons, baking soda, natural salt, and white vinegar are all remarkable chemical-free cleaning products that you can use around the home. Replace window cleaner with a water and white vinegar solution, use lemons to freshen up your white goods, and add a couple of drops of essential oil to your mop bucket to give your floors a beautiful and natural scent.

Refresh By Opening Windows and Doors

Even if it’s cold outside, it’s still important to open the windows and doors in your home and let fresh air flow through your space. Ideally, do this first thing in the morning for around half an hour to help remove bad odors and refresh your home for a brand new day. Keeping a window open while taking a shower will also help prevent a build-up of mold and mildew in your bathroom, meaning it will be easier to clean.
