How We Helped a Busy Family Keep Their Home Clean for 6 Months
Keeping your house clean when you’ve got kids, jobs, pets, and barely a second to breathe? It’s honestly not easy and we totally get it. That’s exactly why this family came to us.
A couple months back, we got a call from a family of five (yes, five!) who were feelin’ totally overwhelmed. Between work, school runs, sports practices, and trying to have, y’know, a life… cleaning just wasn’t getting done the way they wanted. Dishes piled up, laundry took over the couch, and the floors? Well, let’s just say socks weren’t staying white.
The Situation: A Home That Needed Help-Not Judgment
The Johnsons (we’ll call them that for privacy) weren’t messy people. They were just busy. The mom even said on our first call,
“I don’t want a perfect home, I just want to walk into the kitchen and not feel stressed.”
Totally relatable, right?
Their main pain points were:
Dust build-up in hard-to-reach spots
Kitchen and bathroom never feeling clean, even after wiping
Stuff piling up in corners (yep, we’ve all got that one chair)
Not enough time for any “real” deep cleaning
What We Did: A Plan Built for Their Life
Instead of a one-time clean, we offered a 6-month cleaning plan made just for their schedule and budget.
Here’s how we tackled it:
1. Deep Clean to Start Fresh
We kicked things off with a full top-to-bottom deep clean.
Think: scrubbing baseboards, cleaning behind furniture, inside appliances, the whole deal. That way, their house had a fresh reset to build off of.
2. Bi-Weekly Regular Cleaning
Every other week, our team came in to do:
Dusting
Floor cleaning (vacuum + mop)
Bathrooms sanitized
Kitchen surfaces + stove wiped down
Trash out
Quick tidy of toys, clothes, etc.
No fancy fluff just the stuff that actually matters when you’re living in your space every day.
3. Monthly Touch-Ups on Problem Areas
Once a month, we tackled their “trouble spots.” For them, it was always:
Inside the fridge (we get it, no one wants to do that)
Baseboards (hello, dust!)
Toy room organization
Bathroom grout
We rotated these so not everything piled up at once.
The Results: 6 Months of Sanity (and Clean Floors)
Honestly, the biggest win wasn’t just a cleaner home it was the mental relief.
The mom told us after 2 months:
“I didn’t realize how much the mess was messing with my mood.”
By month 3, the family was feeling more relaxed at home. The kids even got in the habit of putting their shoes away (okay, not always… but more than before!).
They could finally have friends over without rushing to hide laundry piles. And the mom? She got her Saturday mornings back instead of spending them cleaning.
What the Family Said:
“This is the first time our home actually stayed clean longer than a few days. It’s not just the cleaning—it’s that I don’t have to think about it anymore.” —Mrs. Johnson
That’s honestly the best feedback we could ever get.
Why This Worked (And Could Work for You Too)
Let’s be real cleaning your whole house every week just doesn’t happen when life’s crazy. But with a system and a team who gets it, you don’t have to live in chaos either.
This worked because:
It was customized (not one-size-fits-all)
We weren’t judging—we were helping
It took the pressure off the family
We handled stuff before it got overwhelming
