I have a confession to make, I’m addicted to Pinterest. When I should be writing, or cleaning, or exercising or walking the dogs, I’m pinning instead.
I decided to do a search for housekeeping and I can’t believe all the ideas I found! I’m always looking for new ways to organize but I would never have thought to use a paper towel holder to organize ribbons. Or clothes pins to keep track of embroidery thread.
Decorating ideas abound as well. Ideas for each holiday and just general decorating ideas. Quick fixes for boring rooms are just a pin a way.
There are tons of housekeeping tips, including schedules and ways to incorporate cleaning into your day. Some of the tips and hints will bring a smile to your face because in addition to having things on here that are timely for today, there are also reminders from housekeeping magazines from years ago.
Some of the tips are new, at least to me. One suggestion was to take a picture of a room after you clean it so that when you ask the kids for help cleaning in the future they have a visual to remind them of what the room is supposed to look like. That’s a great idea, cleaning doesn’t last long enough around here for anyone to remember what it looks like!
You can search for anything on Pinterest. To make sure I was getting as much info as I could I searched for housekeeping, housecleaning, cleaning tips, and neat and tidy. You could also search by room. This is almost a better resource than Google! If you need to know how to remove tarnish from silver, search it on Pinterest.
Go, check it out, you will be surprised by all the nifty ideas you can find for your home, you may come away with a new cleaning schedule. Or, like me, you may never come away!
