Have you been struggling with what to get your mom for Mother’s Day? Gift cards and flowers are the usual go-to choice, but maybe you want to do something more personal. Being a mom is a 24-hour job. While we might not be able to cover all of the tasks, taking some of the weight off their shoulders for Mother’s Day is a great gift! A clean house is a great gift for your mom to come home to. If excess belongings have been crowding the house, consider storing them with Safeguard Self Storage for an uncluttered feeling all year long.
The Everyday Cleaning
First, take care of the tasks that you deem ‘everyday’ cleaning. Dishes are something that no one enjoys doing, and they usually take the least amount of time. Clear out the dishwasher and load it back up. An empty sink will make a huge difference in the cleanliness of the kitchen. Don’t have a dishwasher? Team up to knock out the dirty dishes. Taking care of laundry is also a great way to show your mom love. Even if it’s just a small load – washing, drying and putting away laundry will lighten her load immensely.
A Deeper Clean
Dusting and cleaning the floors are tasks that don’t get done every day, but will definitely make a difference in the cleanliness of the house. Dusting surfaces, blinds and ceiling fans will make a huge difference in the appearance of the home. Cleaning the floors – which may not get cleaned often but get used every day – is another task you can tackle.
Remove the Clutter
If there is an overflow of possessions keeping your home messy all year long, consider removing hardly used belongings. These belongings don’t have to be thrown away; you can store them in a self storage unit. Clearing out hardly used items from your household storage will help make room for belongings that are used periodically throughout the year. Unused belongings in main living quarters can also be cleared out for a less stressful living space.
While cleaning may not be your favorite chore, chances are your mom doesn’t enjoy it either. Take care of your mom by taking care of the cleaning this Mother’s Day! Keep the house clear of clutter all year long with self storage. Contact Safeguard Self Storage today to find a storage unit near you!
