5-Minute Daily Habits to Keep Your Home Sparkling Between Visits

We love giving your home a deep, transformative clean. But we also know that life happens between our visits. To keep that "just cleaned" feeling lasts longer, try these three micro-habits. 1. The "Never Empty-Handed" Rule Whenever you leave a room, take one item that doesn't belong there with you. Taking a coffee cup from the living room to the kitchen, or moving a sweater from the chair to the closet, prevents clutter from piling up. 2. The Squeegee Trick Keep a small squeegee in your shower. Taking 30 seconds to wipe down the glass after you bathe prevents hard water stains and soap scum buildup, keeping your bathroom shining for weeks. 3. The Nightly Reset Before you go to bed, spend five minutes resetting your main living area. Fluff the pillows, fold the throw blanket, and start the dishwasher. Waking up to a tidy living room sets a positive tone for your entire day.
