San Diego green house keepers know we all have that one friend, the one whose house is spotless anytime you pay a visit. Everything is put away and there is not a speck of dust in site. The question is how do they do it? Our hectic lives can sometimes get in the way of a spotless home. These 5 simple steps will help keep your home looking neat and tidy all year round.

1. Whip your closet into shape: For most people cleaning the closet is a yearly activity but you can take small steps every week to keep it clean and organized. If you notice something in your closet that you never wear try to remove it. You can keep a small bin for items to donate and take the contents in when it gets full. Take time each week to do a quick dusting an vacuuming of your closet. If you would like this done by a professional, contact San Diego green house keepers. This will prevent dust build up and can even prolong the life of your clothes.
2. Kick junk mail to the curb: Sort your mail first thing when you bring it in the house. It is best to sort your mail by the trash can. Throw away any junk mail first thing so it does not pile up. Stack any mail that needs attention neatly on your desk and try to go through it at least once a week.
   
3. Build the perfect cleaning caddy-  San Diego green house keepers are very aware that an important key to a clean house is efficiency. Having all your cleaning supplies stored neatly in a caddy will save you time and energy when you do the weekly cleaning of your home. It will also help you to be aware of what supplies you have so you know when it’s time to restock.
   
4. Master the walk-through: Before you go to bed at night spend just 5 minutes doing a quick walk through of your home. Make sure all trash is in bins, put any dirty clothes or towels in laundry hampers, put any dishes in the dishwasher or make sure they are in the sink ready to be washed in the morning. It is also a good idea to put away anything that may be sitting out where it is not supposed to be.
5. Invest in a cordless vacuum: There are a variety of compact cordless vacuums on the market. They typically have a short battery life so they may not be the best option for deep cleaning but when it comes to a quick pick up they work wonders. Try to vacuum high traffic areas on a daily basis.
