Mother’s Day is the time we honor a special woman. During this time of the year, moms receive flowers, cards, and have breakfast in bed. Although these gifts and gestures will be highly appreciated, flowers will wilt, breakfasts get eaten, and cards will get lost.

May 10 is National Clean Your Room Day. The celebration coincides with Mother’s Day. Instead of doing the usual stuff, why not give them something else? You can give your mom a gift they will cherish forever—a clean room. You can reward yourself with one as well.

Cleaning Can Be More Fun With Kids

National Clean Your Room Day can be fun when you enlist the help of kids. However, if you plan to take that way, you will need a little creativity. The current pandemic and the fact, that it is a long vacation for the kids means they will have a short attention span.

Here are some tips on how to clean your house with kids involved.

Be an example

Setting a good example is one of the best ways you can your kids' good habits. You can’t say, “Clean up your room,” when you are standing in the doorway and not cleaning your mess. Do it first so that your little one will follow. This will help them understand that cleaning their bedroom is something that everyone does and not a form of punishment that you hand out to them and ruin their day.

Create a Routine

Once you can get into the practice of cleaning your room, you have fought half the battle. The truth of the matter is that managing your room tidy is not that difficult. It all boils down to finding time each day to put things in order and teaching your kids the same habit.

Check out these tips on regularly cleaning your room, so you don’t have to do a deep cleaning every few weeks:

• Find a charity to donate clothes, shoes, and accessories that you don’t wear or use anymore
• During the evening, soiled clothes should be placed on the laundry hamper and not on the floor
• Install hooks or hangers for robes, pajamas, and others to make commonly used items organized
• Organize your nightstand
• Return items like hooks, tables, and magazines to the areas or shelves where they belong when you are done using them instead of piling them up.
• Have some place in your closet for shoes instead of leaving them anywhere in the bedroom.
• Keep garbage bins on one corner of the room for tissues and others. Dispose of the garbage weekly.
• Make dusting and vacuuming your bedroom a regular housekeeping routine.
• Consult with cleaning professionals for some bedroom cleaning assistance

National Clean Your Room Day provides the perfect opportunity for you to surprise your mom on Mother’s Day. After cleaning the room, you can treat her and yourself to a nice meal as well as a thoughtful Mother’s Day gift.
