House Cleaning Apps

January 25, 2023

House cleaning can be a tedious and time-consuming task, but with the help of technology, it can be made much easier. There are several house cleaning apps available that can help you keep your home clean and organized. In this blog post, we will discuss some of the best house cleaning apps that you can use to keep your home sparkling clean.

Tody is an app that helps you keep track of your cleaning tasks.

Beyond the Apps ā€“ House Cleaning Tips

Unfortunately none of the apps above can actually clean your house for you, so weā€™ve rounded up some top tips

Declutter regularly
The first step to keeping your house clean is to declutter regularly. Go through your belongings and get rid of anything you no longer need. A clutter-free home not only looks cleaner but also makes cleaning easier.

Create a cleaning schedule
Creating a cleaning schedule will help you stay on top of your cleaning tasks. You can create a weekly or monthly schedule that includes tasks like vacuuming, dusting, and mopping. Stick to your schedule to ensure that your home stays clean and organized.

Focus on high-traffic areas
High-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, and bathroom are more prone to dirt and grime. Focus on cleaning these areas regularly to prevent dirt buildup. This will not only keep your home clean but also prevent the spread of germs.

Clean as you go
Cleaning as you go is a great way to prevent dirt and mess from building up. For example, clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen, and put things away after using them. This will save you time and effort in the long run.

Use the right cleaning products
Using the right cleaning products is essential for effective cleaning. Choose products that are safe for your home and effective at cleaning. For example, use a disinfectant to clean your kitchen and bathroom, and a dusting spray for your furniture.

Involve your family
Involving your family in cleaning tasks can make cleaning more manageable. Assign cleaning tasks to each family member and encourage them to take responsibility for their areas. This will not only make cleaning easier but also teach your children valuable life skills.

Ever heard of a ā€œbuy boxā€? šŸ”šŸ“¦

Think of it like a dating appā€”but for real estate investors. Instead of swiping left and right on potential dates, investors use a buy box to filter out properties that donā€™t match their goals.

āœ… Location: Is this the right neighborhood for appreciation or rental income?
āœ… Property Type: A fixer-upper or turnkey rental?
āœ… Price Range: Will it fit the budget?
āœ… Condition: Light cosmetic updates or a full gut job?
āœ… Size & Features: Enough bedrooms, bathrooms, and space to attract renters?
āœ… Return on Investment: Does it hit the right numbers?
āœ… Demographics: Schools, shopping, safetyā€”what matters most?

A well-defined buy box keeps investors focused and prevents them from wasting time on the wrong properties.

If youā€™re thinking about investing, step one is defining your own buy boxā€”because success starts with knowing exactly what youā€™re looking for. šŸ”‘
