How to Get Your Home So Clean, Even Your Mom Would Approve

Try your best to keep busy areas of your home clean on a daily basis. This will go a long way in helping to prevent the spread of dirt, dust, and crumbs throughout the rest of your house. These areas most likely include the main entrance, a mud room, and the kitchen (especially counters and tabletops).

One way to stop dirt in its tracks is to have a dedicated spot for shoes at all entrances of your house. This will remind everyone to take off their footwear, confining dirt to one spot. Rugs or mats will also help trap incoming muck. For countertops, do a quick scan after every meal, making sure to wipe up any lingering food particles.
