Summertime should feel light, fun, and free—not weighed down by household chores and cluttered spaces. But with school out, sports schedules packed, and kids in and out of the house all day, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed by the daily messes that build up.
That’s where a little strategy—and a lot of support—can make all the difference.
At Edge Green Cleaning, we believe summer should be about making memories, not stressing over to-do lists. So we’re sharing our favorite simple, realistic cleaning and organizing hacks to help you simplify and shine through the season. These easy wins are designed for busy families and individuals who want more calm, more order, and more time to enjoy what really matters.
1. Create Drop Zones
Designate specific areas by the entryway for shoes, backpacks, hats, sunglasses, and all the things that tend to land wherever. Baskets, hooks, and labeled bins can make even the most chaotic morning exits and evening returns more manageable.
2. Do a 10-Minute Reset
Spend just 10 minutes at the end of each day tidying the main areas of your home. Focus on high-traffic zones like the kitchen, living room, and bathroom. Set a timer and involve the whole family—it adds up and keeps things under control.
3. Keep Supplies Handy
Store microfiber cloths, a non-toxic all-purpose spray, and a small handheld vacuum in multiple rooms. When supplies are easily accessible, quick cleanups are more likely to happen right away (and with less complaining!).
4. Use the One-In, One-Out Rule
New pool float? Donate or toss an old one. Bought new sandals? Pass along a pair you no longer wear. This rule helps reduce clutter while encouraging mindful consumption all summer long.
5. Meal Plan Simply
Meal prepping doesn’t have to be complex. Think “theme nights” (Taco Tuesday, Pasta Thursday), shop in bulk for summer staples, and keep a running grocery list on the fridge. Less last-minute scrambling = less mess to clean up later.
6. Schedule Help
Let’s face it—there just aren’t enough hours in the day. That’s where Edge Green Cleaning comes in. Whether it’s regular weekly cleanings, a post-party refresh, or a one-time deep clean before out-of-town guests arrive, we’re here to lighten your load with services tailored to your needs.
7. Tidy Before You Play
Before heading out for a day at the pool or ballfield, take five minutes to tidy the main space you’ll return to. Coming home to a clean kitchen or clutter-free family room instantly makes the whole day feel more peaceful.
Simplifying your home doesn’t require perfection—it just takes intention.
