💡 Cleaning Tips for First-Time Parents: Tackle the Chaos One Surface at a Time (And Breathe Easy, Fargo-Moorhead)
Becoming a parent is magical… and messy. Between midnight feedings, diaper blowouts, and wondering if that stain is baby food or something else (please let it be baby food), cleaning your house can feel impossible.
But here’s one practical cleaning tip we give all the new moms and dads we serve in the Fargo-Moorhead area:
👉 Focus on one high-touch area at a time.
You don’t need to clean the whole house in a day. Pick one spot—like the changing table, kitchen counters, or nursery doorknobs—and give it a quick but thorough wipe-down. It takes just a few minutes but makes a big difference in reducing germs and giving you a small win (which, let’s be honest, feels huge during those newborn weeks).
🧽 What We Use for Safe Baby-Friendly Cleaning:
At Dust Busters, we use:
✅ Envirox Orange H2 for everyday cleaning (safe and effective)
✅ Bar Keepers Friend for stubborn messes (like bottle warming ring stains)
✅ Clean microfiber cloths for a streak-free, residue-free finish
✅ Swiffer duster for allergy zones like baseboards and air vents
All of this is part of how we help new parents breathe easier in their homes.
👶 Pro Parent Bonus Tip:
Keep a small basket with your go-to cleaning supplies near the nursery or kitchen. That way, when you get a spare moment, you’re ready to wipe things down—no rummaging required.
