Back-to-School Clean: Preparing Your Home for the School Year

Ah, the back-to-school season! It’s like the New Year for families with kids. Just as January signals a fresh start, August rings the bell for new beginnings in the school year. But before your kids dive into their new textbooks, let’s get your home in tip-top shape.

A Fresh Start

Think of this season as a reset button for your home. All those summer activities leave behind a trail of sand, popsicle sticks, and dog fur (thanks, Fido!). Now is the perfect time to declutter, organize, and deep clean.

Tips for a Spotless Home:

Declutter First: Get rid of what you don’t need. Old clothes, broken toys, and unused items should go. Consider setting up donation bins for items that are still in good condition. This can be a fun family activity where everyone pitches in to sort through their belongings.

Organize School Supplies: Set up a dedicated area for school supplies to keep things orderly. Use bins, shelves, and labels to create an efficient homework station. Make it a family project where the kids get to personalize their space. This not only helps in organization but also makes the kids more excited about the upcoming school year.

Deep Clean Carpets and Rugs: Summer activities can bring in a lot of dirt. Vacuum thoroughly and consider a professional cleaning to remove embedded dirt and allergens. Don't forget to move furniture and clean underneath, as these areas often get neglected.

Wipe Down Surfaces: Disinfect frequently touched surfaces like door handles, light switches, and countertops to keep germs at bay. With the start of school, there's an increased risk of bringing germs home, so regular disinfection is crucial.

Check and Restock Cleaning Supplies: Ensure you have all necessary cleaning supplies on hand to tackle the new school year's messes. Create a checklist of essential items like disinfectant wipes, sprays, mop heads, and trash bags to ensure you’re always prepared.
