Decluttering
The COVID-19 pandemic has inspired an American decluttering craze. Cinch Home Services conducted a survey of over 1,000 Americans. 70% of those surveyed reported that they had been cleaning more frequently since the disease struck. 46% of respondents also said they were embarrassed at how clean and tidy their homes were after a year of restrictions. A smaller number of items to clean can also help reduce dust and other messes.
You can clean as you go
Cleaning as you go is an essential part of procrastination-busting strategies. This type cleaning lets you focus on one task at a given time. It doesn't matter if you're making dinner for the entire family or preparing a blog post. Cleaning as you go makes it easy to maintain a clean home. Here are some examples of ways to incorporate this strategy into your life:
Mailing off
It is possible to receive a lot of mail every day. Many people pile the mail on their counters and allow the paper trail build up. This is a great time to go through the mail and put it in an appropriate place. Putting away your mail is part of a healthy cleaning routine, so make sure to schedule a time each week to do so. You'll be surprised at how much clutter it causes.
Washing laundry daily
While most families wash laundry weekly, families with children or pets will need to wash it more often. The laundry chores are usually left to their parents. Even if you wash only a small amount of laundry per day, it will take longer than what you might expect. You might want to spread your laundry loads out over two or three days per week.
Set a timer to clean
You can use a timer to help you organize your house if it has been difficult for you to clean it for some time. A timer can be used to limit the time you have to clean and motivates you to complete the task. You can even use the timer to help you clean. You will be amazed at how much you can accomplish!

How To
How to start a cleaning business from scratch
Your niche is the first step. This is the area you wish to specialize in. Choose something you are passionate about and good at. If you're not sure where to begin, here are some questions to ask: Do I enjoy cleaning or something else? Is there anything I enjoy doing? Is there anything that would make me a great cleanser?
Once you've found your niche it's time for you to research if the demand is there. There are several ways to do this. Online research is the best way to find out. Google can be used to search for "cleaning services near my location" and you will see results. Check local magazines and newspapers. These publications often have ads for cleaners. Talk to family and friends who may be interested in your services. Most people don’t realize they can hire someone who cleans their homes.
Once you have determined whether there is demand, you can decide how much to charge per hour. Remember that you'll probably lose some customers because of the price increase. But, if you charge too little, you won’t be able to attract enough clients.
Next, you'll need to figure out what kind of equipment you'll need. This includes mops. Spend around $1,000.00 if your goal is to buy new items.
You'll also need to establish a shop. You will need to have somewhere to store supplies, such buckets or mops, vacuums, and brooms. Furniture and lighting fixtures will also be required.
A sign for your front yard will be required. Be sure to write "Cleaning Service Provided!" on your sign. Potential clients may also need to know the number to reach you by phone to make an appointment.
