He might be your son, your brother, your friend, or (heaven forbid) your roommate, but the last thing most bachelors care about is cleaning their home. It’s not so much that they don’t like a clean apartment or house. Bachelor pads can be in disarray and dirty because bachelors don’t have the time or skills to clean them.
When men are living the bachelor lifestyle, they need the quickest, low-maintenance cleaning routine. Any bachelor can at least keep their home looking presentable with a few tools and a little know-how. Who knows—he might even get pretty good at cleaning, and we all appreciate people who can clean up after themselves! No matter who the bachelor is in your life, share this blog post with them so they can enjoy a clean home more often.
Bachelor Pad Cleaning 101
Bachelors sometimes get a bad rap, whether it’s how they cook or their lack of skills for bachelor pad cleaning! If they only had more time or better tools to keep their pad looking more like a home, we bet they could have a pretty clean place. Well, we’ve compiled a few cleaning basics for homes, apartments, and bachelor pads that make cleaning up a breeze.
- Declutter
Clutter is a natural enemy for bachelors in the wild. Too much stuff makes a home look untidy, and the less stuff lying around, the less there is to clean. Decluttering should always be the first step for a thorough cleaning, and it’s a straightforward process. Anything not used in the last six months is fair game, so that’s a good starting point for the purge.

- Clean Daily
We want bachelors to do something that hardly comes naturally—clean every day. That may be the last thing he wants to hear, but cleaning for as little as 10 minutes each day makes a noticeable difference. Tidying up and cleaning for a few minutes each day prevents dirt, dust, and clutter from accumulating. When the weekend rolls around, there will be more time for whatever it is that bachelors do!
- Create A Cleaning Checklist
Cleaning checklists are a practical way to remember what needs cleaning and when. If a bachelor is living with other bachelors, even better. A cleaning checklist makes it easy to assign chores on a calendar for a team effort. Break up the cleaning tasks by day, week, or whatever works and put them on a calendar accessible to everyone.
Bachelor Pad Cleaning Can Be As Easy As 1,2,3
For quick cleanups and to maintain a semblance of order, here are three items every bachelor needs. These cleaning tools won’t deliver a deep clean as we do, but when you’re in a pinch, clean enough is good enough!
- Vacuum Robot
Men LOVE their gadgets! It only makes sense they would have one that cleans for them. Whether a bachelor pad has carpet or hardwood floors, a vacuuming robot can keep floors clean day after day.
- Disposable Cleaning Items
Disposable supplies get the job done quickly and easily and then go in the trash when their work is done. Bachelors can make use of disposable mops, sweepers, toilet brushes, dusting cloths, disinfectant wipes, and other convenient disposable cleaning items.
- Plug-Ins
Opening the window and letting everything air out can work, but some men don’t think about what their home might smell like to others. Plug-Ins can keep every room smelling fresh with no maintenance at all! With so many fragrances available, any man can find the perfect aroma for their bachelor pad.
