Transform Your Entryway: Easy 10-Minute Tips

Starting your week with a quick win can set the tone for your whole home. And where better to begin than the very first space you walk into—your entryway!

Your entryway is like your home’s handshake: it welcomes you, your family, and your guests. But let’s be honest—between shoes, bags, and weekend clutter, it can get chaotic fast. The good news? In just 10 minutes, you can transform it into a calm, inviting space.

  • Put Away Shoes
    Gather those pairs scattered by the door and place them neatly on a rack, in baskets, or back in closets.
  • Sort the Drop Zone
    Mail, keys, and loose papers tend to pile up. Take a quick moment to recycle junk mail, file away important papers, and hang keys on a hook.
  • Clear Backpacks & Bags
    Empty out lunchboxes, sports gear, or weekend extras so your family is ready for a fresh week.

When your entryway feels fresh and clutter-free, the rest of your home automatically feels lighter. It’s a small change that makes a big impact on your mood and your Monday.

Life is busy—between school schedules, sports, and family time, sometimes you just can’t do it all. That’s where we come in. Annie’s Cleaning Services is here to take care of the deep cleaning, so you can focus on what matters most: your family.

Tuesday Tips: The 10-Min Tidy Trick!

Back-to-School Week is here! Between school drop-offs, homework, and after-school activities, life can get hectic — but keeping your home looking fresh doesn’t have to take hours. This week’s Tuesday Tip is one of our favorites:

Set a timer for just 10 minutes and focus on tidying one room or space. You’ll be amazed at how much you can accomplish!

  • Pick a target: living room, kitchen counters, kids’ play area — anywhere that needs a quick refresh.
  • Race the clock: turn it into a fun game for the whole family!
  • Stick to the basics: toys away, dishes in the sink, counters wiped, throw pillows fluffed.

By the time the timer goes off, you’ll have a noticeably cleaner space without the overwhelm.

Say goodbye to expired fridge food, mystery Tupperware lids, and cluttered counters. You’ll be cooking with clarity in no time.

Purge clothing, tidy up jewelry or socks, and clear out those daily bags you’ve been carrying around all summer.

Time to tackle those hidden clutter zones — under the sinks, laundry piles, and bathroom shelves.

Finish the month strong with kids’ art and school papers, then give your car some much-needed attention — it deserves it!
