Back-to-School Cleaning Checklist for a More Organized Home

Get your space in order and your family ready for a smooth school year!

The backpacks are back. The calendar is packed. And somehow, your living room still has pool noodles in the corner. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Transitioning from summer to the school year can feel chaotic, but giving your home a reset can make everything run smoother. A clean, refreshed space helps everyone focus, stay healthy, and move through busy mornings with less stress.

Here’s how to shift your home from summer fun to school-ready—starting with a good, deep clean.

Clear the Clutter to Clear Your Mind After a summer of travel, toys, and towels, your home may be bursting at the seams. Start with the kids’ bedrooms and study areas. Declutter drawers, shelves, and closets, then vacuum corners and wipe down surfaces. Pro Tip: After organizing, use a damp microfiber cloth to clean baseboards, desktops, and light switches. These often-overlooked areas collect summer dust.

The Entryway Reset The morning rush is real—and a clean, organized drop zone can help it go more smoothly. Set up a dedicated space for shoes, backpacks, and lunch boxes, and give the floors a much-needed clean.

Pro Tip: Vacuum rugs and mop the area weekly. Wipe down hooks, cubbies, and door frames to keep this high-traffic area fresh.

Germ Control Starts Early More activity means more germs. Make a habit of cleaning and disinfecting high-touch areas like doorknobs, light switches, remotes, and tablets. Pro Tip: Use a disinfectant safe for electronics and let it air dry to fully kill germs.

Get the Kitchen School-Ready From packing lunches to after-school snacks, the kitchen becomes a command center during the school year. Clean out the fridge, wipe down pantry shelves, and sanitize lunch containers.

Pro Tip: A mix of warm water and baking soda works wonders on fridge shelves and removes odors naturally.
