Always Clean and Tidy House: Follow These Tips

Keeping your home consistently tidy can be a challenge with today’s hectic pace of life. Of course, it’s easy to keep the house clean and tidy, especially if you don’t work and don’t have children. In this case, you have all the time in the world, while others face more significant hurdles. Consider individuals working over 8 hours a day (like freelancers), single parents, or those who work and have young children. Between work hours, childcare, shopping, and household chores, time for cleaning becomes scarce for these individuals.

Here are some tips to better organize the limited time available. Let’s be honest: after a long working day, handling shopping, paying bills, and shuttling children or parents here and there, if by mistake you have half an hour left, spending it on cleaning the house might not be the most appealing option.

How do you always keep your house tidy and clean?

Here are some practical tips to try to keep your home tidy and clean without wasting time:

• Set aside half an hour daily for house cleaning: This prevents dirt from piling up. By doing so, you can avoid the need for a full day dedicated to tidying up all the rooms at once.

• Put things back immediately: This prevents stacks of items from accumulating on every available surface. This practice avoids the hassle of dealing with heaps that would otherwise take forever to put back in place.

• Make your bed every morning and air out the house: It doesn’t waste too much time, but a neatly made bed imparts a greater sense of order to your home.

• Place clothes in appropriate containers: If clothes need washing, put them directly in the laundry basket before going to bed. If they don’t need washing but won’t be worn the next day, hang them up. The idea is: don’t leave them lying around on all the chairs in the house.

• Empty the dishwasher: Make it a habit to empty the dishwasher after each wash. This simple routine contributes to a tidier appearance throughout the house.

• Don’t leave cups and plates in the sink: Put them in the dishwasher. Even if you don’t wash them immediately, having them in the dishwasher keeps the kitchen tidy and ready for the next wash.

• Adopt the use of boxes, baskets, and various containers to store objects: Not only do they enhance the aesthetics of your home, but they also contribute to a sense of order and cleanliness.

• Throw away everything you no longer need: That note on the table from seven months ago, with a purpose you can’t recall, likely doesn’t need to linger until the paper decomposes, no?

• Optimize the spaces for storing things: There are many corners of the house that we don’t use or use badly and could instead use to put shelves, cabinets, or containers to store things.
