Cleaning can be so frustrating when you aren’t prepared. That’s why I have some great tips for Keeping Your House Clean.
My tips are all part of my cooperation with Hoover and feature our review product, the Hoover® IMPULSE™ Cordless Vacuum. We’ve tried these easy tips and the Hoover Impulse and know they will help keep your house clean all year round.
Keeping Your House Clean with the Hoover Impulse
Whether it’s the holidays or summertime most families end up with either kid’s underfoot when they are trying to clean. As a working mom, I like to clean parts of my house all week so I am not left with a weekend full of cleaning when I would prefer to be resting and relaxing.
No matter your work schedule, keeping your home picked up and presentable can be a struggle. Working moms will come home to messes kids have made, and stay at home moms will struggle between errands, cooking, and those same kids messes. That’s where the Hoover® IMPULSE™ Cordless Vacuum and my expert house cleaning tips come in handy.
Get the kids involved in daily chores
Hands down, the best thing to do is to involve the whole family in the house cleaning process. That means giving your kids a few extra chores after school and on weekends.
One thing I love about the Hoover® IMPULSE™ Cordless Vacuum is that it is lightweight enough for the little ones to use!
Below are some of our favorite features of this lightweight Hoover Impulse vacuum.
- Grab and Go Cordless Convenience – this means I don’t have to worry about them plugging it into an outlet. A great safety addition.
- Lightweight and easy to steer – less than 6 pounds means the littles can help!
- Multi-floor cleaning – perfect for carpeting and hardwood floors
- Long lasting fade-free lithium battery
- Removable handle – makes it easy to get into those crevices of stairs or even couch cushions
Along with vacuuming things like stairs, the living area, or just their own bedrooms, you can add a few other chores to their list.
- Dusting shelves, pictures, and areas they can reach
- Picking up clutter and putting things away
- Taking out the garbage
- Sweeping the walk or shoveling snow
- Tidying their bathroom or the guest bathroom
Keep a clutter basket handy
One of my favorite tips is having a large laundry basket on hand so I can quickly go through a room fast and remove clutter. Don’t have time to put away the stuff?
Put the basket into your laundry room, a closet, or even your bedroom temporarily.
Grab papers, toys, jackets, shoes, or whatever clutter happens to be laying in the way or out of place and drop into this basket. Move it out of the way, and you have a cleaner area in no time.
This trick is perfect for those phone calls saying a friend will be over in half an hour. You can clear an area in minutes and go back later to put things in their proper homes.
Give yourself a break
Don’t forget the most important part of keeping your house clean is to take care of yourself and complete tasks in small chunks.
Give yourself a break from the daily grind – this will renew your energy and make those bigger projects easier to tackle. Did you know Moms need Me Time to rest and reflect? Don’t be afraid to ask for some time and help around the house.
This year, make your cleaning even easier than ever to manage by investing in the Hoover® IMPULSE™ Cordless Vacuum to help keep the dirt at bay.
A great tool that helps year round, but especially when pressed for time and energy. Need more cleaning help? Check out some of our other favorite Hoover products to tackle all of your messes.

When I bring the mail into the house, I put flyers and other mail that I’m not interested in right into the recycling bin.
I would love to win this Hoover Impulse Vacuum, as I get older it is harder to clean the whole house at one time, I try to do one job a day, it would be so easy to vacuum with this Hoover, I could do it whenever I got the Impulse.
I live in a two storey home. I keep a basket to fill with items that have to go from one floor to the other. This saves me countless trips up and down stairs.
My tip is to do a lil every day so it does not pile up. I like the cleaning disposable wipes to!
Once you finish using something put it away so you don’t end up with a huge mess. It keeps you organized
Put piles near the steps of things that need to go up or down so the next time you go you take it.
I do a little at a time, one room at a time….
My top tip for keeping the home clean is that if a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it right away. This helps avoid a pile up of cleaning tasks to do.
Do a bit everyday, don’t let it pile up, and do a big cleaning on the weekend!
My top tip, declutter, do not move things from room to room, if not going to use something, get rid of it.
Top tip is to tidy each room daily
Honestly? I make the kids help and luckily they aren’t old enough to complain yet…

Clean regularly, also from top to bottom is a good strategy
My tip is to try and get the kids to pick up their toys i use a sticker chart that serms to work
keep cleaning supplies closeby.
I try to make myself clean while I’m waiting for the kettle to boil, or the microwave to ding. Also, inviting people over is always a major incentiviser in my house :0
We have a cleaning schedule which helps! Also, just doing 15 minutes of cleaning really adds up, instead of spending a whole day cleaning :) Merry Christmas!
My top tip is to have some basic cleaning supplies in each bathroom. When I’m in there each day, I give everything a quick wipe down. Same with the kitchen.
As I tell my daughter who has her own home. Clean a room a day & don’t ignore a “spring clean”. Then it will not seem overwhelming if the whole house needs cleaning.
I always clean up while cooking to not have a huge mess at the end!

Best thing you can do is take your shoes off.
Clean as you cook and always make sure your sink is empty (clean) before you go to bed!
Keep your shoes at the door.
My top tip is to do a little every day – don’t let it pile up for a whole week!
For me, it is to always do at least one thing a day.
Clean up as I go. And I like to pick a room and clean it, rather than trying to do the whole house in a day. And I am constantly de-cluttering and donating items I no longer use or want.
Have a daily routine…and then vary it as needed.
I try to clean as I go along every day so it doesn’t pile up.
Do a little bit every day and have a good vacuum.
By trying to keep organized you don’t have as much to clean up and a mixture of vinegar and baking soda can clean everything
I do a little at a time … but often
I do a daily sweep which helps a lot….
If you open it, close it. If you take it out, put it back. Start with a clean kitchen sink.
shoes off at the door please

Take a vacatoin.
My top tip is to pickup and put things away right after your finished using them.
While it’s not at all ‘environmentally friendly’ one way I keep my house clean is by using Antibacterial wipes. I can quickly wipe down surfaces in my bathroom and kitchen, door knobs and even spills on floors. I’m more likely to get things done when I don’t have to haul out other cleaning supplies or wash rags afterward.
Try to do a little bit everyday and get everyone to help.

Have all the tools on hamd that you might need.
Cordless, makes it easy to work around in the house
Take one or two out of place items with me when leaving a room…
Keep some cleaning supplies in each room you need them for. I keep toilet bowl cleaner, glass cleaner, bathroom cleaner and paper towels in each bathroom. If they are there in the room it is easy to clean the fingermarks you see on the mirror or the toothpaste on the counter. I find if I have to go get cleaners from the cleaning cupboard I get distracted and things don’t get cleaned as fast.
Tidy here and there even if only for 5 min
Clean up behind yourself! I keep telling everyone if they would just do that clean up time would be so much easier.
Hoover Impulse + Giveaway would make a Great Gift! Make sure that you have all of the cleaning supplies that you might need.
Black Bean and Corn Salad – Food
I schedule what I call ‘maintenance cleaning’ in my day planner. Taking the time to do a surface cleaning of the floors and bathrooms makes it easier to clean on the deep cleaning day. Also, using an electric toothbrush is another essential cleaning item. It gets into corners that not even the best vacuum can clean. Thanks for the super giveaway opportunity.
I break cleaning tasks into daily routines so it’s not so overwhelming to do at once
My top tip is to do a little cleaning each day so you’re not overwhelmed by a massive cleanup
Do a little everyday and get your kids involved!
If you have stairs, leave a basket at the bottom and one at the top, then put things in that need to go up or down and then anyone using the stairs is to take up (or down) whatever is in the basket and put it away. Saves your knees from a million trips up and down the stairs in a day.
Get a little bit done every day.
top tip have a working vacuum cleaner… we really need one
Putting things away after use saves time & lessens stress later And you can find things and that could be important in an emergency too.
do the big cleaning regularly and smaller ones as they arise. thanks
Top tip- every time you leave the room, take something with you to put away.
Get everyone to help.
I’m not very good at keeping house but I try to do the regular chores daily (dishes, floors, laundry, bathrooms) so that we can get to one deeper clean a week (fridge, baseboards…)
Today the deeper clean was pulling out the shop vac to do the stairs and my room. It’s the only vacuum we have so I make it work but, man, that thing is a beast.
Try to do a little daily.
Having convenient cleaning items like a cordless vacuum like this means less effort and more likely to clean up making it go by quick.
Clean everyday and gets kids to help.
Follow a cleaning schedule! Clean one room per day.
Do not clean when your children are home, you will get no where
Don’t leave cleaning to the last minute…it is so stressful . I would rather do a bit everyday.
My top tip is keep to a schedule
I do a little area at a time each day (at least I try to).
Get everyone to pitch in.
I keep a small pail or covered basket in every room. It contains. one small trash bag, one green bin bag. Handful of microfibre clothes, glass wipes, furniture polish wipes and spray freshener and a multipurpose spray cleaner which I just refill and a small bottle of spray peroxide for any carpet stains I come across. I clean one room a day top to bottom. Bathroom cleaners are under the counter and I expect the family to spray and wipe down their showers daily. No hard water or soap scum build ups. My kids are in University and work, I run a tight ship, I do laundry daily. I run dishes before bed, and laundry first thing. I vacuum several times a day because we have a dog that drags in sticks and leaves. I keep a basket on my stairs that has things being tossed it in to take up and bins for things for brining down. recycling, water bottles, laundry etc. This system just works for us. However I need tips on the pantry and what to do with all the appliances I keep collecting.
Making your bed everyday makes you feel good when you crawl into it each night
I get my kids to help. I know that sound silly and obvious but I know so many people who don’t get their kids to help. I tell them everyday that they’re going to give me 15 minutes of their time. I have 5 kids so in the end I’m saving myself over an hour of cleaning myself. One cleans the washrooms another vaccums, ones sorts laundry, another loads/unloads dishwasher and kitchen and the little one takes care of emptying out garbage cans. If you time it and focus you can get a lot done in 15 minutes. Team work is the key and you want to teach them responsibilites as well
To tidy up a bit every day then it doesn’t get out of hand.
Super concours, merci

My new house is an open area house, so that as soon as you come in you see the whole house. So it being soooooooo big, it takes me 1/2 hour to clean! However, a big cleaning it takes an hour. I put things away as soon as I am through using them just in case someone comes by! However, every month I pick a room to clean from top to bottom which includes under the bed top of the doorway, and inside the windows, washing the comforter top, blankets, washing curtains. When spring cleaning comes along, I’m done and can go enjoy the outdoors!
Clean regularly (every day)
