That title was designed to draw your attention, and hopefully it did. Of course, we do not for one second mean to imply your children are ferocious creatures, causing damage and trouble wherever they go. But, almost any parent will chuckle and give a wide smile when the topic of how energetic their children can be comes up. Children do not mean to do it. Sometimes, their energetic outbursts in playing with one another, playing with our pets, or perhaps being a little messy can sometimes impact your home in one way or another.
Of course, that’s completely fine. It might irritate us from time to time if a wine glass is knocked off a table, if something breaks or if despite your warnings, they still manage to hurt themselves. But they’re just children. They’re learning, and so being overly harsh about this is simply a waste of good time you could spend as a family. That, and protecting your home from the worst of this ‘onslaught,’ in order to help your home flourish. Of course, protecting your children from your home is something you have experience with already, so let us fill in the missing flipside:
Address Carpet Stains Quickly
Carpet stains can happen for various reasons. Your child might run in from the garden after splashing in a puddle, only to leave that trail across your white carpeting. They might knock over food, smear cookie chocolate chips into the ground while watching television, or of course the famous one, decide that the floor is now their new canvas for their wall-and-floor drawings. Despite the positive possibility that you have a young Michaelangelo on your hands, it’s not hard to see how this is frustrating. But the longer stains are left, the more they can be added to, and the dirtier your home becomes. This is why using Green Dog Chem-Dry VA Beach solutions can help you address those stains quickly, with a deeper, fundamental cleaning solution.
Child Gates
Toddlers and young children have a natural inclination to explore. It’s not hard to see why this might be the case – they are quite literally learning how to be a new human in a new environment. For that, we will forgive them. But it might lead them to explore beyond the boundaries of their bedroom, perhaps with toys, perhaps to access certain areas of your home such as your makeup box, or the bathroom to dump shampoo all over the floor. Of course, keeping an eye on your child is the number one effort you need, but child gates can also be very important to utilize. Not only will these help you gate access from one room to another, but protect them from falling down or climbing up the stairs.
Be Careful With Food
A child eating on the sofa, let’s say jam-on-toast, can quite easily stain the fabric or leave crumbs all over the place. An open cup of orange juice can easily fall to floor. Be careful with food, only allow it in certain rooms or at the dinner table. This way, you can ensure the home stays as tidy as it can.
With this advice, we hope you’ll be able to spend less time tidying and cleaning, and more time bonding with your family.
