Reset One Thing, Not the Whole Room
Instead of “cleaning the living room”, reset one surface:
- Coffee table
- Hallway bench
- Kitchen counter
Clear it completely. Clean it. Put back only what belongs there.
This single act often triggers the next - without pressure.
Store Things Where They Naturally Land
Pay attention to where clutter already gathers. That’s where storage belongs.
- Baskets by the sofa for throws
- Trays near the door for keys
- Hooks where bags always get dropped
Storage should support habits, not demand new ones.
Make Cleaning Tools Easy to Reach
If supplies are hidden, cleaning feels like effort. Keep essentials visible or nearby - a small caddy works well.
When tools are easy to grab, maintenance becomes automatic. These Dunlem cleaning caddies work a charm.

With lighter habits in place, the next challenge is keeping things from slipping back.
