Looking to brighten up someone’s day?

Here are six small, simple, and easy cleaning gestures that go a long way to showing a loved one you care and appreciate them:

Making the Bed

There’s nothing quite like getting into a clean and made after a long hard day of work. So ahead and make the bed for one of your family members. Or better yet make your bed so that a family member won’t have to do it for you.

Tidy Up

Tidying up can be a tedious chore. But it’s always good to take out a bit of your time to clean up and tidy your home. It can be some simple things like picking up toys, folding blankets, straightening out the shoes, putting away clean laundry etc. When you help your loved ones to organise and tidy up, you’ll all end up having time to do the things you enjoy.

Doing the Dishes

Not many like doing the dishes. So, whether it’s washing the dishes, loading or unloading them. Do whatever you can to help. Trust me, you’ll see the smile on their face creep up in no time.

Vacuuming

What’s a better way to say to “thank you” or “I’m here for you” than vacuuming? Okay, there’ probably plenty of other ways. But this gesture is very thoughtful and helpful. It shows your loved one that you care, and it makes a MASSIVE difference around the house.

Cleaning the Bathroom

Use a bathroom cleaner to wipe the bathroom sink and mirror, refill the toilet paper, keep the toilet seat down. Believe me when I say women notice even the smallest of things. So even small cleaning gestures like these will help leave a lasting impression.

Doing the Laundry

There’s nothing more annoying than having to do the laundry. However, even just washing the laundry, or folding and putting away the laundry can go a long way.

No matter if you’re on the giving or receiving end, small cleaning gestures are very rewarding and thoughtful. There’s no better feeling than knowing you helped make a difference in someone’s day.
