As the summer days begin to wind down, it's time to shift gears and prepare for the upcoming back-to-school season. A clean and organized home can set the right tone for a successful school year ahead. At JAWS Cleaners, we understand the importance of a tidy space for both parents and students. In this blog post, we'll share seven essential tips to help you get your home ready for the back-to-school hustle and bustle. From decluttering to creating efficient study spaces, we've got you covered. Let's dive in and make this transition smooth and stress-free!

command center

Create a Command Center: Designate a specific area in your home as a command center where you can store important papers, calendars, and school supplies. This will help keep everyone in the family on the same page and ensure that no important dates or tasks are overlooked.

create a routine

Establish a Routine: Start easing back into a school year routine a couple of weeks before school starts. Set regular bedtimes, plan out morning routines, and create a schedule for after-school activities. A smooth transition will help kids (and parents!) adjust more easily.

declutter and organize

Declutter and Organize: Take the time to declutter common areas, such as the entryway, living room, and kids' bedrooms. Donate items that are no longer needed, organize school supplies, and create designated spaces for backpacks, shoes, and coats to help streamline your mornings.

School supplies

Stock Up on Supplies: Check your supply of school essentials, such as notebooks, pens, pencils, and backpacks. Create a shopping list based on your children's school supply lists and take advantage of back-to-school sales to save money.

organize cleaning supplies

Organize Your Cleaning Supplies: JAWS Cleaning Caddy makes it easy to carry everything you need to clean your house without having to keep going back to the cupboard to grab a new bottle for the next cleaning project.  And it even keeps the refills neatly tucked away.

homework station

Set Up a Homework Station: Designate a quiet and organized space in your home where your children can focus on their homework. Stock this area with all the necessary supplies, such as pens, pencils, rulers, and a desk lamp, to create a productive study environment.

college cleaning supplies

Arm Your College Student with Cleaning Supplies: You can't clean for them, but at least you'll know they have the cleaning supplies.  Consider eco-friendly options for a more sustainable approach.  JAWS refill pods are the perfect solution – they are so small you can store 24 of them in a drawer.

By following these 7 tips, you can ensure that your home is well-prepared for the back-to-school season, making the transition smoother for the whole family.
