Hiring a professional cleaning service is a great investment — but what about the days in between visits?
At Cleaning Plus St. Louis, we recommend a few simple habits that keep your home looking fresh between scheduled cleanings.
1. Follow the 15-Minute Rule
Spend 15 minutes each evening tidying up:
-
Put away items left out
-
Wipe down kitchen counters
-
Load or unload the dishwasher
A little daily effort prevents big messes.
2. Keep Cleaning Supplies Accessible
Store basic supplies in key areas:
-
Disinfecting wipes in bathrooms
-
Microfiber cloths in the kitchen
-
A small handheld vacuum for quick pickups
When cleaning tools are easy to grab, you’re more likely to use them.
3. Make Beds Every Morning
It takes less than five minutes but instantly makes bedrooms look neat.
4. Stay Ahead of High-Traffic Areas
Entryways, kitchens, and living rooms collect dirt quickly. Sweep, vacuum, or wipe these areas regularly to maintain cleanliness.
5. Let Professionals Handle the Deep Work
While daily maintenance helps, deep cleaning tasks like baseboards, ceiling fans, tile grout, and detailed bathroom scrubbing are best left to professionals.
Cleaning Plus keeps your home consistently clean so you can focus on what matters most.
