Don’t miss the recent Redfin article i was featured in: “Cleaning Habits and Routines For a Clean and Tidy Home With Kids”

Does it seem impossible to keep a clean and tidy home with kids? While we wouldn’t change a thing, kids across the country, from Oahu, HI to Buffalo, NY, have a special talent for creating chaos in our homes.

It can be a challenge to keep the home clean and organized when you have kids to take care of and don’t have much time or energy to maintain your home’s cleanliness. That’s why Redfin asked us to weigh in on this topic. Check out what I had to say below!

Create a dedicated space by the door

Something that works great for a lot of my clients is having separate bins and baskets for each kid. This can be used by the front door for them to throw their shoes into when they get home from school or play dates, or on the stairs or in the hallway if there is something they need to take with them to their rooms later. It allows kids to form a sense of responsibility for the items in their bins. Also, it relieves parents of stress of misplacing items when they have so many things going on and don’t have time to keep track of each kid’s individual items. A win-win for all. – Categorized By Katie
