It’s back to school time! Summer is coming to a close and the school year is about to start. This time of year is a great time to jumpstart your new routine that will help you move smoothly throughout the rest of the year. Yes, your kid’s school schedule and routine is very important, but we’re talking about your cleaning routine today! Read on to learn how you can set up a fantastic routine with the best set of essential cleaning items to help you get through the day and the school year with ease. 

Organize Their Rooms To Accommodate School Studies 

To get the house and your kids in order and ready to take on the new school year, you will want to start with your children’s home base: their bedroom. 

• Declutter their floor and make sure all of their clothes are clean and ready for their first week of school. Have them try on their current outfits and see if any can be used for a while longer or if it needs to go to a younger sibling or sent to the thrift store. Then, it’s off to the store to fill in the gaps for their new outfits!
• Help them organize their closet and clear out any trash, old toys, and other items.
  • Make sure that they have a place to put everything away when they are done using their things
  • Have them evaluate each toy and see if they want to keep or donate or pass it along to their siblings other family members
  • Show them where their new outfits are stored and how they should be put away after they have been washed
• Get their room ready for homework and study.
  • Assuming they will be doing most of their homework and study activities in their room, help them set up a little study area that will facilitate their homework.
    • Set up a little desk and stock it with basic supplies
    • Make sure the study area has ample lighting
    • Put it close to an electrical outlet so they can charge their laptop or tablet, if they are using one for their studies
    • Put a small trash can nearby so they can throw things away without getting up and interrupting their studies

Set Them Up For Success!

After their room is organized and made into a nice study environment, you can help maximize their school performance potential by decluttering the rest of the house and setting up the kitchen to be their secondary study area if need be. Sometimes finishing homework and eating have to be done at the same time. Make sure the kitchen is also stocked with fresh brain-friendly foods like blueberries, strawberries, fish, and avocados! 

Bonus: Hand Sanitizer Travel Bottles

This day and age, it pays to be prepared, especially when it comes to keeping your kids’ hands germ free. Make sure to pack a few in their backpacks or even put one in their lunchbox to ensure that they have clean hands before and after they eat and have access to sanitization whenever they need it.
