Teaching your kids to stay uncluttered can be a difficult thing to do. Young age, young mindset and short
attention span – are only three of the things which you need to bear in mind to ensure that you’ll succeed in keeping your kids clutter-free and clean all the time. Below are easy tips to keep your kids stay uncluttered. Just note that throughout all these processes, safety is your number one priority. It is therefore highly encouraged that you use green cleaning products all the time.
1. Put away half of your kids’ toys. Switch them around every one month. This way, they’ll have plenty to play with and their rooms are more likely to stay clean and orderly most of the time.
2. Label baskets, milk crates, plastic tubs or any container which they could use for storage of their toys. Teach them how to sort toys properly and keep them off the floor. Teach the kids how to decorate their containers to keep things fun and personal.
3. Don’t just keep their rooms tidy. Keep their rooms safe and free from harmful bacteria. Use only natural household cleaners when doing so. Commercial cleaning products contain toxins which like bacteria, could pose a variety of health problems to kids – dermatological diseases and respiratory problems like asthma are two of the most common problems caused by these toxins.
4. Allot a short period of the day each week for your kids to tidy up their rooms. To make it more fun, you can make a game out of it. Give small rewards to whoever wins the cleaning game. This activity will instill and develop good cleaning habits among your kids.
5. If your kids’ rooms are carpeted, make sure that you keep carpets free from stain. Allowing stains to set in carpets can make them more difficult to remove. Stains, especially pet stains can also be harmful to your kids’ health. Use a carpet stain remover to keep your kids’ carpets stain-free all the time.
