(607NewsNow) — The holidays are over, the decorations are packed away, and the new year is officially here. January is the perfect time to hit the reset button, not just on your goals and resolutions, but on your physical space, too. Whether you’re a homeowner looking to refresh your living environment or a business owner aiming to improve productivity and morale, a clean, organized, and sanitized space can help set the tone for a successful year.
Declutter first, then deep clean
Start with decluttering. Removing unnecessary items clears both physical and mental space. Go room by room and sort items into categories: keep, donate, toss. Focus on the areas that tend to collect clutter during the holidays like entryways, closets, counters, and storage spaces.
In the workplace, January is a great time to re-evaluate shared areas like supply closets, breakrooms, and storage cabinets. Organizing these areas can boost efficiency and reduce distractions for employees.
Once the clutter is gone, it’s time for a deep clean. Vacuuming and dusting are just the beginning. After weeks of holiday traffic, surfaces like baseboards, walls, and windows need attention. Kitchens and bathrooms, both at home and in commercial spaces, should be thoroughly disinfected to eliminate germs and start the year off fresh.
Sanitize for a healthier start
With flu season in full swing and many people returning from holiday gatherings, it’s more important than ever to disinfect high-touch surfaces. These include doorknobs, light switches, appliance handles, desks, and shared office equipment. If you’re a business owner, this is especially vital in keeping your staff healthy and present during a time when sick days tend to spike.

Create a cleaning routine you can stick to
One of the best things you can do in January is establish a cleaning routine that works for your space. For homes, this might mean weekly or bi-weekly cleanings, depending on household size and lifestyle. For offices, gyms, or other commercial settings, it may mean scheduling cleanings more frequently or even daily.
