5 Easy Cleaning Hacks for Busy Calgary Families

Keeping your home clean while juggling work, kids, and everyday life in Calgary isn’t always easy. At Alberta Dust Busters, we know how quickly the dust piles up (especially during winter when we’re all indoors more). That’s why we’ve put together 5 simple cleaning hacks you can try today to make your home feel fresh without losing your whole weekend.

1. Do the 10-Minute Tidy

Set a timer for just ten minutes and tackle one room. You’ll be surprised at how much you can get done in a short burst — and it doesn’t feel overwhelming.

2. Keep a Basket on Every Floor

Instead of running up and down the stairs, place a small basket on each floor for items that don’t belong. At the end of the day, do one quick trip to put everything away.

3. Vinegar & Baking Soda = Magic

Skip the harsh chemicals. A mix of vinegar and baking soda works wonders for clogged drains, stained sinks, and even as a deodorizer for your fridge. Eco-friendly and affordable!

4. Tackle High-Traffic Zones First

In Calgary homes, mudrooms and entryways take a beating (especially with winter boots). Focus on those areas first to make the biggest impact with the least effort.

5. Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help

Sometimes, the best hack is outsourcing. A professional cleaning service like Alberta Dust Busters can give your home a reset so you can keep up more easily week-to-week.
