Due to the ongoing nature of the Covid-19 pandemic, the face of schooling looks drastically different than normal. With reduced school sessions and increased homeschooling, keeping your Loveland house clean and orderly will not be an easy task, especially if you also work from home or if you have other children who need your attention.

Of course, the easiest way to ensure your home stays in tip top shape is to hire trusted house cleaning services in Loveland Colorado who can keep your home looking great while you are homeschooling your kids. That being said, with the right tips and tricks, you can make sure that your home stays clean to create a serene and effective homeschooling environment.

Read on to learn more about keeping your home in perfect shape for homeschooling. 

How can I keep my home clean when I homeschool?

While there is not one thing you can do alone to guarantee a consistently clean home, there are many parts to work on such as keeping your air fresh to keep everyone healthy while homeschooling, learning how to clean when you’re tired, and following checklists to keep on top of the cleaning.

One of the most effective ways to start creating a stress free homeschooling environment is to cut down on clutter. If possible dedicate a room or specific area of your home for the “classroom” and work hard to keep it neat, tidy, and clutter free. This will involve doing a little bit of cleaning and organizing daily, especially if you are teaching multiple children. 

Try to instill some key concepts into your household to help reduce clutter:

  • Do not leave clothes lying on furniture or the floor
  • Keep your pets off of furniture
  • Always wash dishes and cookware after each meal
  • Never leave food and dishes out (especially outside of the kitchen)
  • Never leave toys out and have a designated box or shelf for them to be stored
  • Have a specific spot for remotes, games, and other small electronics.

Use a rotating cleaning schedule

With the increased demand on parents to homeschool their children, finding time to do your routine cleaning will be harder.  Consider using a rotating cleaning schedule to help make sure everything in the home still gets cleaned.  A rotating schedule is nice because you never have a lot of cleaning to do in a day, but it keeps you consistently cleaning your home throughout the week. 

This type of schedule can be very effective if you can enlist the help of your children.  Even if they are too young to tackle a room all by themselves, they can still help with some easier tasks. 

Some of these tasks include:

  • Easy low dusting throughout the home
  • Gathering clutter throughout the house and putting it away
  • Take out all the trash in the house
  • Putting away dishes and setting the table for meals
  • Sweeping and vacuuming

Consider painting or remodeling a room

Color can have a huge impact upon someone’s mood.  A homeschool classroom should be calming and peaceful – consider painting your room a calming and relaxing color such as blue or violet.  Additionally, using a chalkboard paint can add a ton of fun to a room, so your kids can have a large area to write on. 

As we mentioned earlier, clutter can be a big detriment to effective learning and concentration.  Depending on how your classroom space is set up, adding shelves or cabinet space can help to keep clutter at bay and add to the organizational feel of the classroom.  Cubbies work great too, and can easily be assigned to multiple kids. 

Lastly, while having a main room as the learning hub is a great idea, don’t get too rigid in where school can be held.  Children need time outside, and are very adaptable.  Never hesitate to take a spontaneous field trip or hold class sessions in a park on a nice day.
