Back to School Cleaning Tips for Busy Moms

School is starting and while the return to routine should make a household calmer, it does the exact opposite! Suddenly our households are a flurry of activity! Recently, I visited Global Regina Morning News  to share my busy mom cleaning tips:

Involve the Kids

Products like Swiffer Dusters make it easy for the kids to help out. (Swiffer Duster, Swiffer Sweeper, Swiffer Wet Jet)

 

Laundry

For laundry on the go – use a laundry sorter in a central place in the household (we keep ours in the master bedroom) so that you can simply grab your laundry and pop it in. Tide Pods are perfect because they’re pre-measured! Downy Unstopables are amazing for laundry freshness and dryer sheets are perfect. All keep mess and waste to a minimum.

 

Household

Mr Clean Magic Eraser is my go to for all kinds of household messes. While a toddler coloring a wall is what we all think of when we think of the Magic Eraser, it actually has a ton of household uses including cleaning light switches and appliance handles has my top two (anything that’s kind of pebbly or textured is hard to clean with other methods). It’s also great for cleaning grass stains and scuffs off shoes!

Febreze is a mom’s best friend once the kids are out the door. Use it in sports bags and shoes to keep things fresh. Also, when getting ready to store your patio furniture for the winter, spray it with Febreze first to keep it fresh while packed away.

 

Car

We feel like taxi drivers once back to school hits (I drop off 3 kids at 3 different schools this year!) so we end up spending a lot of time in our vehicles in the fall. Some of the products I already mentioned are actually super helpful in the car as well.

  • Swiffer dusting cloths are perfect for vehicles too
  • Downy Unstopables are great for keeping the car fresh, either loosely under the seats or in a sachet
  • Febreze is great for the vehicle, if you have leather seats it’s still good to spray down the floors.
  • Tip: keep a roll of paper towels in the trunk. Think it’s odd? You’ll thank me the next time you spill a coffee, or have a sick child in the car! You’ll be surprised how quickly you’ll use it.
