New Year, New Cleaning Habits: 5 Cleaning Habits to Adopt in 2025



It’s 2025, and if you’re like us, you’ve entered the New Year with big goals. If finally tackling those dust bunnies in your spare bedroom is one of them, here are five cleaning habits to help you get the job done:


1. Make a Routine, Not a To-Do List

We’ve all been there—trying to scrub the entire house in one marathon cleaning session, only to end up exhausted and frustrated. This year, ditch the impossible “do-it-all-in-one-afternoon" mentality and focus on creating a routine that spreads the work over the week. 


Instead of overwhelming yourself with a massive to-do list, set up a simple cleaning schedule. For example, designate Mondays for the kitchen—wipe down countertops, clean out the fridge, and mop the floors. Tuesdays could be all about the bathrooms, Thursdays for the living areas, and Fridays for a quick sweep of the bedrooms.


2. Green Up Your Cleaning Products

Traditional cleaning products often contain toxic chemicals that contribute to pollution and environmental damage. Green cleaning products, on the other hand, are made from safe, plant-based ingredients.


2025 is the perfect year to say goodbye to those harsh cleaners and hello to eco-friendly alternatives. Whether it’s an all-purpose cleaner made with essential oils or a natural glass cleaner, these products will leave your home spotless without harmful residues.  


3. Tackle One Task at a Time

Multitasking might be great at work, but when it comes to cleaning, it’s a recipe for disaster. Trying to vacuum while wiping down countertops or washing windows only leads to chaos. (Trust us—we know from firsthand experience.) 


Instead, put on your favorite playlist and tackle one small, focused chore at a time. You'll finish faster, feel accomplished, and your home will look amazing!


4. Declutter First, Clean Later

You can’t really clean until you’ve cleared out the clutter. Start by going through your space and getting rid of items you no longer need—either by donating, tossing, or reorganizing. This step is key.


Once you’ve cleared the excess, cleaning becomes a breeze. With fewer things to move or dust around, you’ll find that your home stays tidy longer, too.
