The transition from relaxed summer days to the school grind can catch us off-guard. Between office hours, school runs, and life, where's the time for home maintenance? Fret not! Here are some tasks that will take 15-minutes or less to keep your home in shape just in time for school:

1. Clean Out One Drawer:

Pick any drawer that's become a “junk” collector. Empty, wipe down, and reorganize. It's a small task that can make a big difference.

2. Smoke Detector Quick Test:

Press the test button on your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors. Make sure they beep! If not, it might be time for a new battery.

3. Water Plants & Check Garden Beds:

A quick watering and once-over of your plants can do wonders. Remove any dead foliage and ensure everything looks healthy.

4. Wipe Down Kitchen Counters:

Using a disinfectant wipe or spray, quickly clean and sanitize your kitchen counters.

5. Fast Fridge Tidy-Up:

Toss out any expired items, wipe down a shelf or two, and reorganize for better accessibility.

6. Quick Vacuum Run:

Focus on high-traffic areas like the living room or hallway. Even a rapid run can spruce up the space.

7. Declutter the Entryway:

Shoes, bags, umbrellas – they all collect by the door. Take a few minutes to organize this space and streamline your morning rush.

8. Dust Screens:

Use a microfiber cloth to quickly remove dust. This simple action can prolong the life of your devices and improve picture quality.

9. Window Quick Clean:

Spot clean noticeable smudges or fingerprints on windows using a glass cleaner.

10. Fluff and Rearrange Cushions/Pillows:

A simple fluff and rearrange can make your living space feel fresh and inviting.
