Mother’s Day is this weekend! While Mom may not say exactly what she wants, chances are she won’t turn down an offer to clean the house. And if you haven’t already picked out the perfect present, these Mother’s Day cleaning tips will help.

Mother’s Day Cleaning Tips

Moms already take on a lot of responsibility in and out of the home. In addition to professional jobs, many also take on a majority of housework. So it’s about time she gets a break—and not just one day out of the year. It’s time to extend those popular Mother’s Day coupons to more than just one free hug and cleaning up a single room. It doesn’t mean kids and spouses have to take on all the work either. Clean smarter, not harder, and give everyone a break. Here are some tips on how.

• Products. Before any cleaning formula hits a surface, read the label carefully and test an inconspicuous area to ensure it doesn’t damage the material. Never mix products, it could create dangerous fumes.
• Laundry. It sure does pile up, and Mom shouldn’t be the only one doing it. Separating whites, colors, and heavily soiled items is a task anyone can take on.
• Kitchen. It’s amazing how clean a kitchen can stay when spills and crumbs are immediately wiped from surfaces.
• Living Room. Trap dust with a damp cloth instead of spreading it around with a dry one. Use coasters anytime you put a glass on any surface, especially wood.
• Bathroom. Wipe any sprinkles, from the toothpaste splatters on the mirror to the toilet seat. Hang anything wet and leave shower doors and curtains open to allow air to circulate, preventing mildew.
• Bedroom. Keep closets and drawers organized to make it easy to find items and put them away.
• Floors. Sweep or vacuum a floor before mopping hardwood or shampooing carpet. Better yet, leave the muddy shoes at the door and wipe pet paws to prevent the dirt from even making it into the room.

Every little bit helps to keep the house clean and fresh. Mom shouldn’t be the only one cleaning up the messes. When these tips are followed on a regular basis, there’s less for everyone to do. When it comes to deep cleaning, help is just a call away.
