When Holidays are over – Top Tips for cleaning up after the kids

Holidays are over and it’s time to go back to school – Top Tips for cleaning up after the kids

As we are still dreaming of sandy beaches and the wonderful summer vacation we had (or wish we had), the realisation hits us that summer is almost coming to an end and it’s time to get our kids ready for school again or in some countries they are already back since a few weeks. With September around the corner and the weather getting colder, our little ones will be spending more time at home again.

With children in the house, we know it can be hard to keep on top of cleaning and organising. Which is why we've put together some tips and tricks to help you keep your family home sparkling clean!

Choose a time-saving cordless cleaner, for getting rid of the small and big mishaps

Dropped food and spilled drinks can't always be avoided, so it's helpful to have a cordless cleaning appliance that you can grab at a moment’s notice. Our 3-in-1 multifunctional cleaner CrossWave Cordless Max is always ready to vacuum, mop and dry the small and big mishaps of your little ones - even spaghetti or breakfast cereals.

Use the natural power of steam

With steam cleaners, you can eliminate stubborn stains and 99.9% of all bacteria without using harsh or potentially harmful chemicals. This makes it the perfect cleaning method for homes with babies and young children, or for anyone who has allergies.

BISSELL´s portfolio of steam cleaners offers as well devices which you can use for steaming your worksurfaces, bathtubs and even children‘s high chairs with it!

Keep spaces tidy with a "Catch-all" basket

If you can keep your home tidy, then cleaning becomes a much easier task. Try using a basket or box for any loose toys or odd items that you find lying around - just toss them in as you find them, then once it's full or you have a bit of spare time, you can sort through and put everything back in its proper place

Work as a Team

You know the saying, "many hands make light work" - well that's still true even if the hands are little! You can give them simple tasks like dusting or wiping the surfaces, or older children could take charge of vacuuming or washing the dishes. Why not make cleaning into a fun activity that you and the children can do together? 

Get a handheld helper

A mini handheld vacuum - or a vacuum that can convert to handheld - will allow you to clean in tight spaces and areas that would normally be hard to reach with a normal vacuum; this might include car seats, in between sofa cushions, or behind furniture. How about the convenient BISSELL Multi-Reach Active 21V?

Remember – No home is perfect

This is our most important piece of advice - in the world of social media and influencers, there's a lot of pressure to have the perfect home all the time, but a home is more than just a clean and organized space. Find time to clean and tidy where you can but be sure to make time to just enjoy your home with your family! To help you with this, we have a broad product range on household helpers which ease the daily cleaning routine so you can enjoy even more time with your loved ones.
