by: Go-2-Girls | July 29, 2022

Discover the best ways to start cleaning your messy home and ensure you manage the issue effectively.

It can be difficult to know where to start if you have a messy house filled with dirty dishes, dirty laundry, and garbage in multiple rooms. Particularly if you hate cleaning. You might find that your disgusting house is entirely overwhelming. God bless the mess that doesn’t work when it’s causing your mental health and well-being havoc. So, let’s explore how to tackle this the right way.

Get The Right Items To Clean Your Messy House

If you want a clean house, you must ensure that you have the correct items and cleaning supplies. For instance, if dirty laundry is the problem, you should get a laundry basket. A basket will help keep your laundry room tidy. You might also want a spray bottle to quickly clean different surfaces, such as the kitchen counters. Using a high-quality cloth, you will be able to quickly wipe away any spills that are making a space like this feel messy.

Use Simple Strategies

You should also make sure to use simple strategies if your house is messy. If you want to clean your home, you should clean it from top to bottom. For instance, clean areas like shelves and counters first before vacuuming up the mess that falls on the floor. You should do this to clean up the whole house.

Identify The Causes Of Your Messy Home

There are lots of reasons why a home might end up a mess. For instance, you could have a family member that isn’t pulling their weight. If you have a messy husband or a child that leaves clutter everywhere, you’re in the same boat as other moms.

One of the best ways to deal with this is by setting up a cleaning schedule. If you do this, you’ll quickly find disgusting mess is easier to manage, particularly if you have young kids. They can Be included in the schedule too.

Alternatively, it could be as simple as people walking around bare feet. If you have hardwood floors in the master bedroom or other home areas, bare feet will leave marks and make your home look messy.

Start With One Room

One of the best options is to start with one room instead of trying to clean the entire house in one go. A very messy house can take multiple days to clean. So, you might want to begin by getting a trash bag and removing the rubbish from one area. Little steps like this can help you build a spotless house. Remember, the idea is to take baby steps and focus on specific tasks before moving on to the next room.

Try Speed Cleaning

Through speed cleaning, you can ensure that it doesn’t take long to clean a messy house. This can start with removing most of the clutter in your room. This is often easier to cope with than deep cleaning a trashed house. Once your home is clutter free, it will be far easier to clean it and achieve a tidy home.

Find Cleaning Motivation

There are lots of benefits to keeping your home clean. For instance, it can improve your mental health and ensure you don’t have to worry about guests coming around. A clean home can also improve your quality of life because you are less likely to get ill. You will also feel accomplished if you have a home that you can be proud of in your life. Mental roadblocks are one of the most significant issues that stop people from having a clean and tidy home. Sometimes you need to start by finding the motivation to clean before you tackle the whole process. This can start with taking a deep breath before focusing on a task in your house to get the ball rolling.

Helpful Alternatives

There are various alternatives to explore in life if your house is messy. For instance, you can use paper plates. This is a great way to clean up the kitchen mess in your home that may be causing you to feel shame. You won’t have to worry about ensuring you have clean dishes because paper plates can go straight into the bed. It’s a great shortcut if you have kids and will make a big difference in your kitchen.

Manage Clutter

You should aim to ensure you keep your home clutter-free. There are lots of ways to deal with clutter. For instance, you can set up a designated junk drawer that everyone in your house can use for extra stuff they find lying around. One of the best tips is to get a garbage bag and collect all of your paper clutter. Only what you need should be kept by the time you finish.

Get Help

We hope this helps you understand some of the critical steps you can take if you are completely overwhelmed due to your messy house. Remember, you can use a professional service if you need extra help dealing with your extra stuff and keeping your home clean. This can help you get on top of your messy home or ensure you have the additional support you need when dealing with a busy schedule. It can also give you the rest you need instead of focusing on an endless list of house chores.

Summer Cleaning Hacks for Parents

by: Go-2-Girls | June 10, 2022

With summer in full swing that means all parents have a revolving door of kids! Popsicle wrappers all over the place, muddy flip flops, and plenty of wet bathing suits are surrounding your home right now. We know it can be hard to maintain a clean home when you are as busy as ever, so parents this one’s for you! In between your Go 2 Girls cleaning there are a few things you can do to make your life a little bit easier. Better yet, have the kids help you with the house cleaning! After all, it can be good for them to earn their screen time first.

Step 1: Clean out the fridge. It’s time to toss out those leftovers no one will touch. There could be hidden molds affecting your family’s health and an added bonus is now you know what you still need from the grocery store for dinner!

Step 2: Dust everywhere. Dusting is particularly important during summertime because the AC is likely running nonstop. As a result, dust gets pushed everywhere. Pay close attention to blinds and ceiling fans. You can even have your fans rotate the opposite direction to help. Use a simple mixture of water and vinegar for your product.

Step 3: Flip and clean your mattress. Mattresses should be flipped at least two times a year so it might be time to rotate yours. Mattresses are known to harbor dirt, dead skin, dust mites and tons of other allergens. If you are known to snack in bed you should be cleaning yours more often! Keep in mind that not all mattresses can be flipped so it’s a good idea to check with your mattress manufacturer before doing so.

Step 4: Prepare your outdoor space. If you’re hosting graduation parties, birthday parties, barbecues, or any other gathering, it is a good idea to give your outdoor area a good deep clean. Refresh your furniture with a garden house (a great chore for kids to help with), and use a mild cleaning product to disinfect the surfaces. As much as possible, try to avoid bleach because it can damage plants. Wipe down grills, planters, and other surfaces that may have accumulated pollen and dirt over the last few months.

The bottom line is that cleaning your home can feel never ending. Always remember that you can’t do it alone. Have your family step in and help, or better yet call your Go 2 Girl who will step in and take over. We would love to help you with your summer cleaning checklist!

Tips for cleaning your bedroom

by: Go-2-Girls | May 26, 2022

In our previous post, we talked about decorating the bedroom. In such a private and generally separated space- lighting, furniture and decor reflect the occupant in a way that other rooms don’t. A space this personal also needs to be cleaned differently than others. Beds, and the surrounding areas as well as surfaces like dressers and nightstands offer a unique cleaning arena in your home.

The Ceiling

In most rooms, we’ll recommend starting with the highest reachable surface. This because anything that falls will land on whatever surface you may have otherwise stared with. In a room like the bedroom where fans run more than most other spaces- the fan can accumulate dust and pet fur faster than anything else in the house. Start by dusting the ceiling, light fixtures and fan blades.

Wipe every surface clean

In your bedroom are a lot of surfaces: tabletops, cabinets, drawers, a chair, your make-up kit, a display cabinet: you name it. And that too can be a source of accumulated dirt from the outside and even internally. To start wiping off the surface of these objects, you need to be prepared with two types of rags: one that is dry and one that is damp. For objects that can be wiped wet and have accumulated dirt, use the damp one to collect the dust away from those objects. Then, for objects that might need a light brush-off, you can use the dry rag to clean the objects.
Please take note that there are other wiping techniques you can employ, including using isopropyl alcohol for surfaces you use the most, including the table top or your study desk in
accordance with sanitary standards.

Sweep and Mop the floors

Most of the time, when we clean the floor it’s just all about just sweeping the floor, but really it’s also about cleaning it to discourage unwanted creature visitors. Aside from the dust accumulated, some of the things that you might have missed and are considered foreign materials include crumbs from the food you ate, spilled drinks you haven’t noticed, textile fragments from clothes and your bedsheets, scraps of paper and plastic from office or grocery: among other things.

The simplest way to start your bedroom cleaning is through sweeping the floor with a broom. Start off first with the corners and then make your way out to the door where you have a dust scooper to collect the swept dust. If the sweeping isn’t enough, you can opt out for a hand-held vacuum cleaner to collect from nooks and crannies of your bedroom. And we haven’t settled yet, preparing for the mopping process, with choosing the perfect soap- water solution that not just smells nice but also allows us to properly clean the floor. To mop the floor, start with the farthest part to the part near your door. That way, there’s an even clean of the floor.

Housekeeping Tips to Make Your Bedroom Cozy

by: Go-2-Girls | May 25, 2022

As we have pointed out in our previous blogs, the bedroom is one of the most important components of the common household. Aside from being a place to rest, the bedroom is the most personal space fin a home. This is where most of us feel safest and most relaxed. The bedroom should be a suitable space for whatever is going on in life- a bedroom must be flexible enough for multiple uses and reflect our personality.

To help with the common housekeeping tips for your cozy bedroom setup, here are our hacks we can impart to you to help spice up that dull bedroom of
yours!

All things in moderation

Decorating often begins with decluttering. Not necessarily minimization- but simply knowing what needs to be in a space and what does not. Doing this first will make it much easier to establish a theme and color palette as you plan for redecoration. This space is supposed to be a reflection of you- but keep in mind that moderation will be why the bedroom is a safe and calming space. Take care to know what you want from your space while you sleep and awake.

The wall-attachment color relationship

There are so many ways to decorate the walls of a bedroom. You can commemorate relationships, families and memories. You can decorate with helpful reminders. and inspiring quotes. Art, mirrors and lighting are all options available to you as you cater the space to your mood and personality. Since walls and floors usually stat out as neutral colors, decide on decor that compliments those natural tones. Or you can set that tone with an accent wall. It is completely up to you! You don’t even need to paint anymore to create an accent wall. You can choose from vinyl wraps(the modern day wallpaper) panels and lighting to create an accent wall in a flash!

Light it away!

Speaking of lighting. The avenues renters and owners can add personality and uniqueness to a space using lighting have expanded significantly. Not long ago, all we had to choose from were soft and harsher lights- warm and cool. Now you can choose your very own color and lighting effects! Smart bulbs you can add to almost any lamp, RGB strips and ropes for backlighting and accessorizing have taken over home decor.

Want to spell your family name on the wall with lights? You can do it. Want to backlight your bedroom furniture with colors you can change at will? You can do that, too. Adjust the mood of a room in an instant with a remote or from an app. With so many cost effective options to choose from- there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to add some flare and drama to your space.

Utilize relaxing scents

To make your bedroom more cozy, it also needs some preparation not just aesthetically visual but also olfactory. Aside from cleaning up the place, you can also douse some good scent to balance the air around your bedroom, and make sure it is controlled as to not suffocate. While most people opt out for the common room spray, there are more modern ways to scent up the place, such as putting essential oils to your humidifier or lighting up some scented candles. Or if you are feeling fancy, light up some floral incense sticks?

To sum this up, making a cozy bedroom is all about having the bedroom stand out like having its own personality. And our cleaning group Go2Girls can help you prep up that cozy bedroom of yours, tidy it up, and help yourself be more comfortable and satisfied with your own personal space!

Cleaning Hacks to Consider for a Cleaner Bedroom

by: Go-2-Girls | April 4, 2022

The bedroom is the most personal space of any household, whether it is for the bachelor living by their own means, or family members having their own places to rest and unwind. The bedroom is not just a place for rest, but it’s also a symbol for personal space of the person occupying it. The bedroom serves as a workspace, a place to chill and read, do gaming, or simply hang out with guests and friends all over.

Depending on the size and the amount of things you have in the bedroom, there might be varied ways to clean the bedroom. But for this time, we will give a rundown of the best hacks you can apply the next time you do your regular bedroom cleanup!

Always start from the ceiling

It may go mostly unnoticed, but the the ceiling actually accumulates a lot of dirt, mostly from dust particles that build up from your floor, seldom does moving things and when you open the window. Add in the build-up material from spiders, dust, etc., resulting in accumulation of dirt and cobwebs.

To start with, you can get a broom and start sweeping it upright. This is to catch all the dirt up on it and fall towards the floor. Just make sure that before cleaning, you have covered your bed
and other objects in the room to make sure they don’t collect dust as well. If the ceiling is reachable, you can also opt out for wiping the ceiling as well with a damp and
soapy cloth to freshen up the ceiling, as well as temporarily discourage the accumulation of dust and nasty creatures up there.

Sweep (and Mop!)

Most of the time, when we clean the floor it’s just all about just sweeping the floor, but really it’s also about cleaning it to discourage unwanted creature visitors. Aside from the dust
accumulated, some of the things that you might have missed may include crumbs from the food you ate, spilled drinks you haven’t noticed, lint from clothes and your bedsheets, scraps of paper and plastic, among other things.

scooper to collect the swept dust. If the sweeping isn’t enough, you can opt out for a hand-held vacuum cleaner to collect from nooks and crannies of your bedroom.

Kid’s Bedroom Cleaning Hacks

by: Go-2-Girls | November 11, 2021

If you have toddlers and kids at home, you can relate to how messy the room can be. Toys here and there, doodle stuff, cluttered clothes, messy bed, and all that’s in between. Cleaning a child’s bedroom is not that dreadful if you let your kids help clean their own rooms. Let them do light tasks that are fun and not like a chore to them.

Here are some tricks to make your kids clean their own room.

BEDROOM SLIPPERS

First and foremost, get your child another pair of slippers for the bedroom and another for the living area. Children play a lot indoors or outdoors. When they use the same slippers or shoes to the bedroom, the risk of bringing dirt and bacteria that may cause health issues.

MAKE YOUR BED

Teach your little ones to tidy up their blankets and pillows after waking up. They don’t need to have it super neat but the lesson of keeping their space clean is a thing you will thank yourself in the future.

CLOTHES IN HAMPER

Show your kids where to put the dirty clothes after changing to a fresh new one. This will ease off some of your house chores because dirty clothes are already in the hamper and ready to pick up for laundry.

PICK UP TOYS

Kids make a mess with their toys. Train them to pick up the toys after playing and put them back where they belong to. You can make this a fun thing by letting them count the toys and adding up how many they have put back in the box and giving them some treat after a good job.

GET RID OF MARKS ON WALLS AND FLOORS

Kids can or may not be able to do this job of getting rid of color marks on the wall, carpets, or floor. For pen marks on the wall, use a sponge and lightly scrub off with a mixture of water and baking soda. Gently scrape away crayon marks then dab with denatured alcohol.

DUST OFF AND WIPE DOWN SURFACES

Wipe, dust, and polish wooden furniture and organize everything. Don’t forget to wipe off the mirrors and windows.

EMPTY TRASH CAN

Again, teach your little ones to throw their trash in the wastebasket. This will certainly save you time when cleaning the room. Empty the trash every day so that it won’t litter in your child’s bedroom in case they play with it.

SWEEP AND VACUUM

Sweep the floor and regularly vacuum the carpet. Don’t forget to get all the corners, under the furniture, and under the bed.
