The Summer Cleaning Swap: What We Press Pause On Until Fall
Lewiston & Clarkston’s Guide to Smarter Seasonal Cleaning At ENS Home Cleaning Solutions, we believe that cleaning isn’t just about scrubbing and shining—it’s about balance. And during the summer months in Lewiston and Clarkston, that balance means knowing what to let go of (for now) so you can enjoy more sunshine, more family time, and a little less stress. If you’re a homeowner trying to juggle kids, outdoor events, BBQs, and a packed summer calendar, it’s okay to ease up on the heavy cleaning routines. Here's what we recommend you swap out or simplify—and how to still keep your home feeling fresh, clean, and welcoming all summer long.

🌿 1. Deep Cleaning Projects? Put Them on Pause
Big cleaning projects like baseboard scrubbing, ceiling fan dusting, or detailed cabinet cleaning can wait. Instead, summer is the season for maintenance over overhaul.
ENS Tip: Shift your focus to high-impact, light-effort tasks like wiping surfaces, vacuuming high-traffic areas, and keeping bathrooms tidy. Our residential cleaning team in Lewiston and Clarkston can help you stay on top of essentials, even when your schedule is packed.
🧺 2. Laundry Routines? Keep It Simple
Let’s be honest—summertime often means more laundry, especially with kids, camping trips, and outdoor fun. But don’t overthink it.
Swap in: Smaller, more frequent loads.
Swap out: Folding and putting everything away perfectly every time.
ENS Suggestion: Consider baskets for clean clothes by person, especially if your household is on the go. Our clients love how a simplified laundry system can still feel organized—and if we’re cleaning your home, we’ll make sure your laundry areas stay neat and functional.
🍴 3. The Kitchen Can Relax (A Little)
Summer meals are more casual—think grilling outside, picnic-style dinners, and easy grab-and-go snacks. That means you can ease up on full kitchen overhauls for now.
Swap in: Quick countertop wipes and sink sanitizing.
Swap out: Deep cabinet organization and full pantry inventories.
Let your kitchen breathe this season—and when you're ready for a full fall refresh, our Clarkston and Lewiston cleaning teams can handle the details.
🧹 4. Floors: Just the Essentials
In the summer, your floors take a beating—sandals, bare feet, pets, and dirt from outdoor play. But you don’t need to mop every day to keep things clean.
Swap in: Quick sweeps and weekly vacuuming (or let us do it!).
Swap out: Intensive grout or tile scrubbing until cooler months.
Our recurring home cleaning service keeps your floors summer-fresh without the extra work.
🧼 5. Let Go of the Guilt
This is the big one. Let go of the pressure to do it all. Summer is for connection, relaxation, and being present with your family—not for feeling guilty about a missed dusting session.
If your home needs a reset or weekly upkeep, that’s what we’re here for. ENS Home Cleaning Solutions offers personalized cleaning services tailored to your summer routine—whether that’s weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly.
🌞 Summer Cleaning Should Feel Light
Whether you’re relaxing by the river or chasing kids around the backyard, your home should be a clean and peaceful retreat—not another thing on your to-do list.
