We share the small daily cleaning habits that prevent falls, reduce illness, and protect independence for older adults at home. Simple routines keep pathways clear, air cleaner, and surfaces safer without heavy checklists or deep cleans.

• clear pathways between key rooms
• quick kitchen wipe to deter pests and bacteria
• bathroom moisture checks and flat mats
• light dusting for better breathing
• disinfect high‑touch surfaces daily
• laundry habits and towel rotation
• regular trash removal to avoid odors and pests
• two‑minute end‑of‑day home reset
• adapt tools and split tasks to match energy
• ask for help to keep routines realistic
