10 principles of an exemplary housewife

To keep the house clean, people try to neatly arrange things, wipe off dust, and wash the floors. However, after such cleaning, order does not last long. What to do? Advice from exemplary housewives: 10 principles will help you maintain perfect order in your home.

Regularly get rid of unnecessary things

If an item is not needed within a year, it should be thrown away or given away. If the item is in good condition, it can be donated to a charity.

They accept:

• children's and adult clothing;
• shoes;
• bed sheets;
• toys;
• sports equipment;
• books;
• household appliances;
• dishes

For large items, you can order free removal at the expense of the organization.

Important. Charitable organizations not only give things to those in need, but also sell them. The collected funds are spent on the purchase of rehabilitation equipment for children and disabled people.

Fold things rationally

Clothes go out of fashion, children grow up, and accordingly, the shelves of the closets are filled with unnecessary things. To get rid of chaos in your closet once and for all, you need to fold things according to the Japanese method. Vertical storage is one of the principles of this method. Things that are not hung on hangers, but placed vertically in boxes, take up much less space.

This technique can also be used in the kitchen. You don’t have to buy storage containers; you can make them yourself. You can find educational video tutorials on the Internet.

Every thing in the house should have its own place.When opening a closet, you need to feel a sense of pride in the order that reigns there, and not the fear of being buried under a heap of hastily stuffed things. Clear distribution and storage of things is the key to ensuring that the house will always be in order.

Take time to clean hard-to-reach places

Such places include: radiator, ventilation, chandeliers, picture frames, space under the bed. If these surfaces are not cleaned regularly, the dust will become deeply embedded in them. Then it will be difficult to remove. Also, accumulated dust in drafts will fly around the house, which can negatively affect the health of the whole family. Therefore, you need to devote 20-30 minutes to hard-to-reach places once a week.

Easy cleaning in the bathroom

Make it a rule: brush your teeth with one hand and wipe the sink or surface of the washing machine with the other. To do this, you should have a spray and a sponge on hand. You can also use wet wipes - this is convenient.

It is difficult to clean the entire bathroom before work. But pouring cleaning liquid into the toilet and walking along the walls with a brush in the evening is quite possible. And it will always be clean.

After eating, do not put dirty dishes in the sink

If the house has a dishwasher, then you need to immediately load dirty dishes into it, and not put them in the sink.

To quickly and efficiently wash cups, plates, and cutlery without a machine, you need to add soda ash to a pan of hot water before eating and place kitchen utensils there. Then wipe with a sponge soaked in the solution and rinse. Fast, convenient and without chemicals.

Always make your bed

Many people believe that making the bed is pointless, because in the evening you need to spread it again. But that's not true! Only with a neatly made bed will the bedroom look neat.

Advice. The bedspread can be replaced with a beautiful set of bed linen. And then in the morning it will be enough to simply straighten the duvet cover.

Cleanliness of mirrors and stove

Set a rule for all family members: every time they look in the mirror, wipe it with a microfiber cloth. It is especially important to do this in the bathroom, because that’s where it gets dirty most often: splashes from toothpaste and water are to blame.

Advice. After breakfast, treat the surface of the stove with a grease remover, and in the evening remove it with a sponge. Then the surface will always be clean.

No things on the floor

A bad habit is throwing things on the floor. Firstly, it negatively affects the appearance of the house. Secondly, scattered things on the floor scare away good luck (according to Feng Shui).

How to eradicate this bad habit:

1. Ban men from throwing socks on the floor.
2. Teach children to put toys in baskets. Hang containers for storing toys at the height of the child.
3. Store pillows and blankets under the bed only in special containers.

Fact. From a Feng Shui point of view, things should be stored in cabinets and cabinets that stand on small legs. This way things don’t interfere with the calm flow of energy, but they also don’t become saturated with bad energy.

Keep a weekly journal

In order not to have to spend your day off cleaning, you need to schedule 20–30 minutes daily to put things in order in individual rooms. For example, on Monday, wash the refrigerator, on Tuesday, sort out things in the closet, and so on.And then the house will always be in perfect order.

Follow the rules now, not later. Sometimes you are very lazy, but spending 5-10 minutes today will save hours of long and tedious cleaning tomorrow.

For yourself beloved

During daily cleaning, a woman should not forget about herself. On weekends, go to the hairdresser, meet friends, go to the gym. And there will be enough time for all this if you plan your cleaning schedule correctly.

Advice. While cleaning, you can listen to an audiobook or study a foreign language.
