A lot of people seem to think that having kids around the house (especially with the current Covid 19 situation) means that the property is simply going to be doomed in terms of cleanliness. However, as professional maintenance and end of lease cleaners Sydney, we are here to help you understand the ways in which you can work with (or around!) your kids to keep your home and property neat, tidy and clean!

Top Tips for Cleaning With Kids

If you’ve got kids at home, you probably feel as if all hope is lost in terms of your cleaning attempts. Indeed, cleaning up with kids around is certainly not as easy as it would be if the kids weren’t around; for many parents, the kids can make a mess at the same rate that it is tidied away! However, we have a couple of top tips for helping to get your kids involved with the cleaning, as well as how to keep them out of the way so that you can properly clean the property once and for all.

Now, there’s no denying that cleaning up the house when kids are around can be difficult—so the most obvious way of tackling the problem is to try to get the kids to tidy up their own mess. A rewards system is a great way of incentivizing young kids to do the cleaning work; pocket money or time watching the TV, for instance, can help the children to remember to tidy up their messes as they go.

Aside from this, cleaning up around your kids doesn’t need to be impossible. We suggest that you try to clean up at times when they kids are not going to immediately mess things up again; perhaps just after they have gone to bed, or otherwise while they are occupied with another activity or playing in another room/space.

In Summary

Just remember—cleaning up around your kids doesn’t need to be impossible, and by making the most of time when the kids are occupied (or even getting them involved and encouraging them to clean up their own mess) can be a great way of balancing between a kid friendly, clean house and a house that looks like it has been used as a children’s toy dumpster! Or, if you are really struggling to keep the house clean, take a break and let a professional team clean everything up while you go out for a stroll or a day out with the family instead.
