Arriving at a home that looks and smells clean is an incredible feeling. Unfortunately, most of us find it hard to get the motivation to constantly clean our houses, as cleaning does not tend to be very fun.
However, the truth is that it does not take several hours of thorough cleaning to keep a house clean. In fact, just 15 to 20 minutes a day, five days a week, should do the trick. The key is to find ways to incorporate clean habits into your daily life to make cleaning up feel less like a chore and more like part of your typical routine.
Over time, you will notice that even simple and seemingly insignificant habits can make a big difference in the cleanliness of your home. Tidying up your living spaces a little bit here and there will allow you to constantly have a spotless home with minimal time and effort.
For effective daily and weekly cleaning, choosing the right habits to integrate into your routine is important. These cleaning activities do not necessarily need to be complicated; in fact, most of them are not. Still, they do need to target the parts of your home where cleanliness is most essential, and where dirt and grime tend to collect.
If you make use of the following tips, you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of having a home that is constantly clean:
It does not take long for tiny spills that occur throughout the day to build up. This is why it is always a good idea to take some time to wipe down all the countertop surfaces in your home at the end of each day.
Wait until after you have finished eating for the day, and then use a damp cloth to go over the countertops. It will not take very long at all, but it will make a big difference day in and day out.
At the end of the day, rather than tossing the clothes you wore on the floor, get in the habit of putting them away properly. After deciding which items need to be cleaned, put them in your hamper or laundry basket. If there are clothes that you plan to wear again before laundering them, hang them back up in your closet or fold them and put them away in your drawers.
As a central part of your home, your living room should always look impeccable, but the only way to ensure that is to reset it at the end of the day. As you or others make use of your living room throughout the day, things may get brought into it or moved around and dishevelled.
Therefore, before heading to bed each night, pick up any clutter that does not belong in your living room and handle it appropriately, with a particular focus on the coffee table or the floor.
In addition, you can fold your throw blankets and fluff up the pillows on your couch or chairs to make the room look more presentable again.
After putting the work into preparing a meal and then enjoying the food you have made, it is pretty tempting just to sit back and relax for a little while, watching some TV or a movie.
However, cooking a meal usually involves creating a mess in the kitchen, and it is a bad habit to let that mess linger for too long. Rather than letting used pots and pans, various ingredients, and food scraps sit out for the rest of the evening, make a post-cooking cleanup part of your regular routine.
Of course, you do not want your food to get cold. So, if this cleanup has to wait until after you eat, that is totally fine, but try not to leave it for much longer than that.
It is easy for certain things to get knocked over and cause a spill, especially when you have had a big grocery haul, and your fridge is packed tightly. In such circumstances, it is also easy for some items to get forgotten about, which may lead to spoilage or mould.
This is why it is crucial to clean up your fridge at least once a week, keeping things spick and span inside by mopping up any spills and tossing out anything that has gone bad.
Having a clean and organized fridge will make it easier to find items you need and help you keep track of things that need to be replaced.
Another good way to keep the clutter to a minimum in your home is to adopt a trash disposal schedule. Of course, it will make the most sense to take your garbage out the night before or the morning of your city’s collection day.
However, if you dispose of a lot of meat and produce, you may want to take out at least your kitchen garbage a few times a week to avoid nasty smells in your home. In that case, you could use slightly smaller trash bags in your kitchen, set the days and times each week to take the trash out, and stick to this schedule.
To keep those undesirable smells away, it also helps to clean your trash cans and the areas where you keep them at least once a week.
When you take your trash outside, it will help you avoid having to deal with nasty smells inside your home. It is also necessary, however, to keep it organized and tidy once it is out there, which is why you should have a suitable trash bin.
