5 Southern-Style Cleaning Secrets for a Truly Happy Home
There's something special about walking into a clean, welcoming Southern home. At Mama Lyons Savannah, we believe that keeping a home isn't just about cleaning – it's about creating a haven for your loved ones. Today, we're sharing some of our cherished cleaning wisdom that's been passed down through generations.
Start With the Heart of the Home In the South, the kitchen is where memories are made. Begin your cleaning routine here, and you'll set the tone for the entire house. Our favorite tip? Keep a bowl of fresh lemons on hand – they're perfect for naturally deodorizing garbage disposals and adding that fresh citrus scent we all love.
The "Top-to-Bottom" Rule Just like Mama always said, gravity is your friend when cleaning. Start with ceiling fans and work your way down to baseboards. This way, you're not cleaning the same surfaces twice, and you're working smarter, not harder.
The Power of White Vinegar Here's a little Southern secret: white vinegar mixed with warm water makes windows sparkle like morning dew. It's natural, eco-friendly, and something our grandmothers swore by. Just like we do at Mama Lyons, choosing gentle, earth-friendly cleaners keeps your home safe for the whole family.
The "15-Minute Tidy" Y'all know those unexpected guest visits we get here in Savannah! Keep your home "company-ready" with our 15-minute tidy routine: quick-sweep high-traffic areas, straighten pillows, and wipe down bathroom surfaces. It's amazing what you can accomplish in just quarter of an hour!
The Blessing of Organization As we say in the South, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." Keep cleaning supplies organized in pretty baskets or caddies throughout your home. When tools are easily accessible, daily cleaning becomes a breeze rather than a burden.
Remember, a clean home isn't about perfection – it's about creating a welcoming space where family and friends feel loved and comfortable. That's the Mama Lyons way, and it's how we've been serving our Savannah community with pride.
