How to clean a very messy house🧹🧽🧺

2025/9/13 Edited to

... Read moreCleaning a very messy house can be a daunting task, but with the right approach, it can be both manageable and even satisfying. One of the best strategies is to tackle the house room by room, focusing on large items first to create an instant visual improvement. For example, start by picking up strewn laundry, toys, or dishes scattered around. This not only makes the space look tidier quickly but also reduces feelings of being overwhelmed. It's important to avoid jumping between rooms too much. Stick to one room at a time, and if you find an item that belongs in another room, simply place it there without trying to clean that room immediately. This prevents shifting mess from one space to another and keeps your progress focused. Dusting is more effective when done from high to low. Dust on shelves, ceiling fans, and other elevated surfaces will settle downward, so cleaning in this order means you only have to dust once. Many people overlook cleaning ceiling fans or high shelves, but these spots hold a surprising amount of dust. Floors should be left for last in each room. Sweeping or vacuuming before clearing the floor leads to dirt being tracked back in while moving around. By cleaning up and putting everything in place first, sweeping and mopping when the room is nearly finished maximizes efficiency. Preparation is also key to a successful cleaning day. Make sure to stock up on all necessary cleaning supplies, prepare a quick lunch, and have a motivational plan to encourage yourself. Whether it’s a relaxing bath, a favorite treat, or watching a new show after cleaning, having a reward in mind helps maintain enthusiasm. Lastly, don’t forget to load laundry or dishes throughout the day as you work. Starting a load early prevents an overwhelming pile at the end. Consistency and breaking the work into smaller tasks help turn a large mess into a series of achievable goals. By using this methodical approach, cleaning a very messy house becomes less stressful and more productive, leaving you with a refreshing, orderly home to enjoy.

Let’s talk mental health and bedrooms!!! In most cases our bedrooms reflect our mental health and how we are managing it. If you’re stressed, depressed, anxious, etc. chances are your room reflects that. In my case, mine does. Some people will look at the before and wonder how I could let my room
