Summer Cleaning and Back to School Readiness by Easy Living Cleaners
Summer is a season full of sunshine, family gatherings, and outdoor activities, but it can also be a time when your home takes a bit of a beating. Kids are home more often, tracking in dirt from the yard, leaving toys scattered around the living room, and creating a little more mess in the kitchen. As the summer winds down and the back to school season approaches, there is no better time to refresh your home with a thorough summer cleaning. A clean and organized home will not only make your daily routine easier but will also create a calm and welcoming environment as your family transitions into the busy school year. At Easy Living Cleaners, we know how to tackle seasonal messes and get your home sparkling again so you can focus on enjoying the last days of summer.
Why Summer Cleaning Matters
Summer brings unique cleaning challenges that are different from other seasons. The warm temperatures and increased humidity can lead to more dust accumulation, sticky surfaces, and even a rise in allergens such as pollen and pet dander. Open windows invite in fresh air but can also bring in outdoor debris, while increased foot traffic from kids, pets, and guests can make floors and carpets dirtier than usual.
Taking the time for a summer deep cleaning means you will be starting the school year with a fresh, organized space. It also helps remove hidden allergens and dust that can trigger seasonal allergies, especially for children returning to crowded classrooms where germs can easily spread. By addressing these summer specific messes now, you are giving your family a healthier and more comfortable home environment.
Cleaning in summer is also about maintaining the parts of your home that might get neglected during busier times of the year. This can include washing window screens, wiping down blinds, dusting ceiling fans, and deep cleaning areas like baseboards, light fixtures, and air vents. These tasks not only improve your indoor air quality but also make your home feel noticeably fresher.
Back to School Cleaning Hacks
When the school year begins, the pace of life changes quickly. Mornings become a rush of preparing breakfast, packing lunches, and making sure backpacks are ready to go. Afternoons can be filled with homework, extracurricular activities, and after school snacks. Having a clean and organized home before this busy period starts can save you stress and time.
One way to prepare is to create a dedicated after school zone. This can be a small area by the door where kids can drop their shoes, backpacks, and lunchboxes. Keeping this area clean and organized will prevent clutter from spreading through the house. Wipe down surfaces in this zone daily, including doorknobs and light switches, to reduce the spread of germs.
Another tip is to focus on the kitchen. This is often the heart of the home, and during the school year it will be in constant use. Clean and organize the pantry so that snacks and lunch supplies are easy to access. Wipe down countertops, clean inside the refrigerator, and sanitize high touch surfaces like cabinet handles and faucet levers.
Bedrooms also deserve attention before school starts. Wash bedding, dust furniture, and clear out clothes that no longer fit to make space for school uniforms or fall clothing. This makes morning routines smoother and reduces stress for both parents and kids.
Bathrooms should be given a thorough scrub as well. Stock them with soap, fresh towels, and tissues. A clean bathroom encourages good hygiene habits for kids, which is especially important during cold and flu season.

Simple DIY Cleaning Tips Between Visits
Even if you schedule professional cleaning, there are small things you can do between visits to keep your home looking its best. Dust surfaces regularly using a microfiber cloth, which traps dust instead of just moving it around. Keep a basket in high traffic areas to quickly collect toys, books, or shoes that need to be put away. Use natural cleaning solutions like vinegar and water for quick counter wipe downs, especially in the kitchen and bathroom.
Encourage your children to take part in simple chores such as making their beds, tidying up toys, and helping set the table. This not only keeps your home neater but also teaches them responsibility and teamwork.
Scheduling for a Smooth Transition
Timing your cleaning schedule to align with the school calendar can make life easier. Booking a summer deep clean in Late August or early September ensures your home is ready for the start of school. You can then maintain it with regular cleanings during the fall and winter, which will keep your home healthy and organized all year long.
When you work with Easy Living Cleaners, we help you create a customized cleaning plan that fits your lifestyle. Whether you are a busy parent juggling multiple schedules or someone who simply wants to enjoy a spotless home without the effort, we have a solution for you.
