Seven Cleaning Tips for 2025
Tips & Trends for Cleaner, Fresher Homes All Year Long
The New Year is a great time to make resolutions, and having a cleaner, organized home is a fantastic goal. A tidy house looks lovely, can make life less stressful, improve health, and even give you an edge as you pursue other goals.
To help you out, here are seven 2025 cleaning tips to help you get started:
1. Prioritize Preventing Problems
What areas in your home get dirty first? By identifying the parts of your home that get soiled quickly, you can take steps to prevent or reduce these problems. Taking this 2025 cleaning tip to heart for myself, I know that dust is one of my challenges (I live in a dry climate). To help out, I’ll be looking into air purifiers. The less dust, the more I can focus on other cleaning goals.
Some other useful dirt prevention tips:
- Door mats by the entryways
- Hallway runners in high-traffic paths
- Shoes off in the home
- Wiping the dog’s paws when they come in
- Tablecloths and placemats
2. Clutter Kills Cleanliness
There are a few ‘natural laws’ of cleaning, and one of them is that clutter accumulates.
You live your life and take care of your family, and before you realize it, the closets are full, drawers stuffed, and countertops covered in things.
Clutter not only is a problem in and of itself, it also makes proper cleaning tricky. So, a top 2025 cleaning tip is to set aside time every day/week for decluttering. Work one room (or part of a room) and be aggressive with what you do and don’t need.
Here’s a great guide with thoughtful tips on decluttering.
3. A Professional Push
Sometimes, dirt can get on top of you. Our 2025 cleaning tip is to hire a professional cleaning service to get rid of the dirt. With the help of a professional cleaner, you can have a fresh start that your cleaning habits can maintain in 2025.
The professional you hire depends on your needs, of course. This could be a maid service if you need help with a general cleaning or a specific professional service for a particular problem. For example, if your carpets need a new lease on life, hire Oxi Fresh Carpet Cleaning! We can erase years of buildup with ease, giving your carpets a new lease on life.
4. A Bit at a Time Is Better Than Fine!
Making a cleaner, organized home one of your 2025 goals is fantastic. Thinking you can get it all done in a weekend or two isn’t.
Our cleaning tip for 2025 is to break down your cleaning goals into smaller, manageable goals that can become habits. So rather than having the goal “Totally reorganize and clean the house,” make this week’s goal “organize my closet” or “deep clean the guest bathroom.”
5. Automate Vacuuming and Sweeping
Vacuuming and sweeping every day is one of the best ways to take care of your home. Robot vacuums and mops are valuable investments in maintaining its cleanliness. They aren’t inexpensive of course, and some folks actually prefer the meditative nature of a vacuuming habit. Still, they can be a great asset in any home.
6. Purges and Splurges
One of our top 2025 cleaning tips is to focus on building cleaning habits rather than going on cleaning purges and splurges. You go on a big cleaning spree, purging your closets, buy a bunch of cleaning products, and have a sparkling home . . . that then slowly slips back to being dirty.
Focus instead on building cleaning habits. Create a weekly calendar for yourself and your family and stick to it—and don’t beat yourself up if you’re not perfect. Persistence rather than perfection is the goal when building good cleaning habits.
7. The Right (Green) Tool for the Job
There are many cleaning products out there, and some of them can be pretty harsh on the environment. One of our 2025 cleaning tips is to take some time to clean up your cleaning supplies and begin using eco-friendly options.
There are a lot of green cleaning products out there that do amazing work while also being much healthier for your home and the planet. When it comes to finding professionals to tackle those trickier cleaning jobs, find a company that gets results while keeping things green.
Companies like Oxi Fresh! Our carpet cleaning process gets world-class results while using green carpet cleaning solutions and conserving water. That means you get refreshed and revitalized floors while helping protect your home (and getting a fast dry time of just about an hour!)
