7 Hacks to Keep Your Home Clean Between Services

Even with regular cleanings, daily life can make your home feel messy in no time. At ScrubEase, we know most people don’t have hours each day to clean — which is why we put together our favorite quick cleaning hacks. These are perfect for maintaining a fresh home between your scheduled cleanings in Austin, Dallas–Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio.

1. The 15-Minute Rule
Set a timer for 15 minutes each evening and pick one task: wipe kitchen counters, vacuum the living room, or clear clutter. Short bursts add up and prevent overwhelming messes.

2. Keep Baking Soda Handy
Baking soda is a natural deodorizer. Sprinkle it on carpets before vacuuming to neutralize odors, or keep an open box in the fridge to keep things fresh.

3. Wipe as You Go in the Kitchen
When cooking, keep a damp microfiber cloth nearby. Wipe spills and splatters immediately — it saves time compared to scrubbing dried messes later.

4. Use a Microfiber Duster for Ceiling Fans
Ceiling fans collect more dust than you think. An extendable microfiber duster traps dirt on both sides of the blade, preventing it from scattering across the room while you clean.

5. Freshen Garbage Disposals with Lemon
Cut a lemon into chunks and run it through your disposal with a handful of ice cubes. It clears out buildup and leaves your sink smelling clean.

6. Tackle Bathrooms with Vinegar
A spray of vinegar and water on shower doors dissolves soap scum fast. Add a squeegee to your daily routine to keep glass sparkling longer.

7. Don’t Skip High-Touch Areas
Wipe doorknobs, light switches, and remote controls weekly. These are some of the dirtiest surfaces in any home and the easiest to disinfect quickly.
