Why a Clean Home Matters
A clean home isn’t just for looks, but your family health and wellbeing. Dust, allergens, and clutter cause stress and even diseases, so regular cleaning is a must in the household. A clean room, for parents, also means less noise and more time spent with your children.
Mr. Clean is the Parent’s Toolkit
Mr. Clean has cleaners that tackle the most arduous cleaning tasks effortlessly. Whether you have a soggy countertop or a wall with crayons, this brand has a solution for all your home problems. With clever kid hacks and some clean house hacks, cleaning will be fun—not to say easy.
1. Make Cleaning a Family Activity
The cleaning your children help with is not only lighter but also helps them acquire life skills.
- Stain/Smudge: Mr. Clean Magic Erasers are amazing at removing smudges and stains; kids will love the product.
- Build a cleaning checklist and give your little helpers stickers or small goodies to get them motivated.
Tips: AmyandRose recommends doing activities for kids at an appropriate age to encourage them to take responsibility. For example:
- Toddlers can pick up toys.
- Children in kindergarten can wring off the floor with a damp towel.
- Vacuuming or room-cleaning is something older kids can do.
2. Speed Clean During Naps
When your kid naps, clean things up fast. Mr. Clean Multi-Surface Cleaner can be used to clean a number of surfaces at once.
- Focus on places people are likely to touch such as kitchen counters, bathroom faucets, and door handles.
Hack: Carry a mini-caddy of cleaning supplies around that you can pick up and use whenever you have a few minutes.
3. Crayon on the Walls? No Problem!
Children are big fans of making things, but the wall-art comes with the territory. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser removes crayon without chipping the paint. Simply wet the eraser and scrub the surface. It’s like magic—literally!
4. Tackle Toys and Play Areas
Toys are germ-laden, especially when passed between siblings or friends. Wash toys often with a clean solution created by washing your toys in Mr. Clean Multi-Surface Cleaner in water. Check the soft toys if they can be machine washed or you can steam clean them for a quick change.
AmyandRose’s Parenting Tip: AmyandRose recommends keeping play spaces clean to avoid illnesses and promote creative play.
5. Declutter Like a Pro
Clutter is the enemy of the neat house. Make a list of 3 options: keep, donate, or discard. Remind your children to “one in, one out”: if they get a new toy, they donate or trade for an older one.
Bonus Tip: Arrange toys in clear bins and label them with pictures or words. This helps the children locate and put things away.
6. The Kitchen Reset
Kitchens are, in general, messes’ playground. To keep it sparkling:
- Rub grease and grime with Mr. Clean Kitchen Cleaner.
- Clean the appliances every day so they don’t accumulate.
- Crush or vacuum crumbs right after meals.
Time-Saving Hint: Keep a small handheld vacuum near the dining room for quick cleanups.
7. Bathroom Bliss
Bathrooms can quickly become a mother or father’s nightmare. Wash away soap scum and water spots with Mr. Clean Clean Freak Deep Cleaning Mist. Showers, sinks, and mirrors get wiped clean with it in no time.
Kid-Friendly Tip: Make your kids rinse the sink after brushing their teeth. It’s an easy thing to do that keeps the bathroom neat.
8. Laundry Made Easy
There is a lot of laundry at the end of every family with kids. Make it easier: schedule a laundry day and have your kids help you organize clothes by color. Pre-treat grass, food, and marker stains with Mr. Clean Liquid Muscle before putting things in the wash.
Tip: Have separate hampers for lights, darks, and delicates to cut down on sorting time.
9. Keep Floors Kid-Friendly
The kids play on the floor a lot so cleaning it up is essential. Mr. Clean Magic Eraser Mop removes scuff marks and dirt easily. If you have wood floors, use a mild cleaner to keep them looking great and lasting.
Tip: Keep floors dry when playing with kids so they don’t slip and fall.
10. Prepare for Guests in Minutes
Unexpected guests? Don’t panic. Dust public spaces such as the living room, kitchen, and guest bathroom. Clean everything with Mr. Clean Disinfecting Wipes quickly and burn a new, clean candle to set the mood.
Hack: Keep a decorative basket nearby and just throw in any odd objects for a temporary anti-clutter solution.
11. Seasonal Deep Cleaning
You need to clean every day, but a deep clean each year keeps your house fresh and tidy. And with Mr. Clean products, you can:
- Shampoo carpets and rugs.
- Wash windows and mirrors.
- Clean behind large furniture pieces.
Family Pro Tip: Make deep cleaning a family habit. Play music, role-play, and then have a fun movie night to celebrate.

It’s tempting to get bogged down in chasing a clean house, but remember: perfect isn’t the aim. A spotless, neat room shouldn’t make your family unhappy—it should make them happy.
