Cleaning is important, but guess what? Some things clean themselves! And other things? You don’t need to clean them very often.

At Tidy Casa, we clean 600 homes every month, so we know what really needs scrubbing and what can wait.

Here’s a list of things you don’t have to clean all the time.

Things That Clean Themselves

Ovens – Let Them Do Their Job

Most ovens clean themselves! If yours has a self-clean button, just press it. The oven gets super hot and turns the mess inside to ash.

Once it cools, wipe the dust away. That’s it! No scrubbing, no sprays, no hard work.

Dishwashers – A Quick Rinse Does the Trick

Your dishwasher washes itself when you run a cycle! But if it starts to smell bad, do this:

  1. Pour one cup of vinegar into the bottom.
  2. Run a hot cycle (no dishes inside).
  3. Run a second hot rinse cycle.

That’s all! Do this once a year to keep your dishwasher fresh.

Things You Can Clean Less Often

Some things don’t get dirty very fast. That means you can wait longer before cleaning them.

Baseboards – Once or Twice a Year

Baseboards get dusty, but you don’t need to clean them all the time. If you don’t have pets, wiping them once or twice a year is enough.

Blinds – Every 3 to 6 Months

Blinds collect dust slowly. Unless you live in a dusty desert, cleaning them two times a year is just fine.

Ceiling Fans – Every 6 Months

If your fans spin a lot, they don’t get very dusty. But when you turn them off, you might see dust on the blades. Wipe them every six months so they don’t drop dust on your furniture!

Walls – Every 1 to 2 Years

Walls don’t get dirty fast unless you have kids or pets. A light dusting now and then is good, and a full wipe-down every year or two will keep them looking nice.

Fun fact: Scrubbing walls too much can hurt the paint! So don’t overdo it.

Less Cleaning, More Fun!

You don’t have to clean everything all the time. Knowing what can wait means you have more time for fun things!
