There is nothing nicer than coming home to a fresh, shiny house. But to ensure that our household helper can do his or her job to the best of his or her ability, a little preparation is worth its weight in gold. How best to go about it? Read it in this blog!

When there are still toys, lying around newspapers or clothes on the floor, your housekeeper loses precious time. By dotting the i's and crossing the t's yourself, our household helper can immediately do what he or she does best: make your home shine from top to bottom!

5 tips for a tidy house

  1. The laundry basket

Pick up an empty basket and walk around the house. Collect all the things lying around. Don't have time to put everything away immediately? Then put the basket aside for a while. This will prevent things ending up in the wrong place.

  1. Make it a game with the kids

Clean up with the kids the night before. Put on some happy music and see who gets their toys into the bins the fastest. That way they will learn to help playfully.

  1. Fixed place for accessories

Provide clear hooks or baskets at the entrance for scarves, shoes and bags. If everything has a fixed place, the floor will remain free for the hoover.

  1. Clear surfaces

Clear the kitchen sink and bathroom sink as much as possible. The fewer loose pots and bottles there are, the quicker and more thoroughly your household helper can clean everything.

  1. Check your stock of cleaning products

Nothing is more annoying for a household helper than an empty can of all-purpose cleaner. Make sure you have plenty of cleaning products, clean mops and hoover bags in the house and put them in a central, easily accessible place.

Clear communication is the key

Make clear agreements. Do you have a drawer for "found objects" or a fixed place where help puts things whose location is unclear? If necessary, use labels in (kitchen) cupboards. This saves questions and makes emptying the dishwasher a piece of cake.

Good preparation will ensure an even better result and a happy housekeeper and client. Don't have a helper yet? Request your household help from TRIXXO now!
