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:

The 10-Min Tidy Trick

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.

Looking for ways to keep your home tidy and keep the kids busy during summer break?
We get it — summer fun often comes with extra messes, and finding time (and motivation) to clean can be tough.

The good news? You don’t have to do it all alone.

Getting your kids involved in age-appropriate chores not only teaches responsibility, it can actually be fun — for them and for you. Check out these 6 creative ways to turn cleaning into a game, using the tips in our graphic below!

Make it a race: Who can tidy up their room the fastest?
Scavenger hunt style: “Find 5 things that don’t belong here!”
Reward system: Use a chore chart with fun prizes or privileges.
Dance it out: Blast a playlist and clean to the beat.
Assign zones: Give each child a space to be in charge of.
Let them spray and wipe: Kids LOVE using safe spray bottles!

But when it’s time for a full deep clean, don’t stress—call in the pros. Annie’s Cleaning Services is here to handle the tough stuff so you can enjoy your summer (and your sanity).
