Transform Your Entryway: Easy 10-Minute Tips

annievillaroman

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.

10-Minute Entryway Reset

  • 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.

Why It Matters

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.

Too Busy to Do It All?

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.

Let Us Take Care of Cleaning and Simplify Your Routine

annievillaroman

Back-to-school season brings excitement, fresh routines, and a busy schedule for the whole family. Between early mornings, homework assignments, after-school activities, and meal prep, it’s easy for cleaning to fall to the bottom of your to-do list. But here’s the truth—a clean, organized home makes everything else flow more smoothly.

At Annie’s Cleaning Services, we believe new routines start best in a fresh, tidy space. Imagine stepping into a sparkling kitchen, freshly vacuumed carpets, and sanitized bathrooms at the end of a long school day. That little extra peace of mind goes a long way in keeping your household calm and focused.

School’s In, Let the Clean Begin: A Fresh Start for Back-to-School Moms

annievillaroman

Back-to-school season is here—and for many moms, that means shifting into high gear. Between school drop-offs, after-school activities, homework time, and keeping up with routines, the last thing you need is a messy house adding stress to your day.

At Annie’s Cleaning Services, we believe a clean home is the foundation for calm, organized routines. When your space feels fresh and clutter-free, it’s easier to focus on what really matters—supporting your kids, keeping the family on track, and enjoying those little moments that make life sweet.

Why a Clean Home Matters During Back-to-School Season

  1. More Time for What Matters
    Instead of spending evenings scrubbing and tidying, you’ll have more time to help with homework, prep lunches, or just relax after a busy day.
  2. Less Stress, More Calm
    A messy home can be overwhelming—especially when the family calendar is already packed. Let us handle the mess so you can focus on keeping the peace at home.
  3. Healthier, Happier Space
    Kids bring home germs, backpacks, sports gear, and endless school supplies. Regular cleaning helps keep your home healthy and welcoming for the whole family.

We’ll Handle the Mess, You Handle the Rest

This school year, let Annie’s Cleaning Services take cleaning off your to-do list. Whether you need weekly upkeep or a deep clean to reset your space, our team is here to make life easier.

Imagine walking into a fresh, sparkling home after a busy day of school runs and activities—it’s one less thing on your plate, and one big sigh of relief.

Call us today at (210) 557-1940 or click here to book your clean! Because when school’s in, it’s time to let the clean begin!

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.

The Cleaning Task We All Avoid — Be Honest, What’s Yours?

annievillaroman

Be Honest, Moms… What’s the ONE Thing You Refuse to Clean?
And why is it always the baseboards or behind the toilet?

Let’s be real for a second…
Between managing the chaos of kids, work, meals, and trying to remember where you last left your coffee, cleaning everything just doesn’t always make the cut.

But there’s always that one spot in the house you purposely “forget” about. For many of us?
It’s those dusty baseboards.
Or the scary zone behind the toilet.
Or maybe it’s that weird junk drawer you pretend doesn’t exist.

You’re not alone—and we totally get it!

Why We Avoid These Spots:

  • Baseboards? They’re low, tedious, and somehow collect every particle of dust in the house.
  • Behind the toilet? Enough said.
  • Ceiling fans? Out of sight, out of mind… until you turn one on and start a dust storm.

Here’s the Good News:
You don’t have to do it all. That’s exactly what Annie’s Cleaning Services is here for.

Whether you need a full deep clean, help with those “nope, not today” tasks, or just want to reclaim your time, we’ve got you covered – baseboards and all.
