Maintaining order in the house is what many consider the sacred duty of the housewife. But what to do if you don’t have enough energy or time for weekly general cleaning? And what should you do if guests show up in a couple of minutes, and there is dust on the shelves and the closet is not tidy? For those who are behind their backs called lazy housewives and who are already tired of wearing this title, there are some simple tips.
Get rid of unused things
Surely no one is alien to the feeling of irritation when a blouse that has not been worn for several years once again stares at you from the wardrobe. Such things only add clutter to the house without having any constructive value. They should be given away, sold, or thrown away as soon as possible: whatever, so that other, more useful or joyful things can take their place.
Organize space
In any supermarket or hardware store you can find a wide variety of organizers for things: from dividers for kitchen drawers to containers with a narrow specialization (for example, for clothes or for spices). They will be faithful assistants and travel companions in achieving order and maintaining it. Thanks to organizers, it will be possible to eliminate a fairly large amount of clutter.
Products and tools to speed up the cleaning process
To deal with annoying and corrosive dirt on surfaces and objects, the usual means are often not enough.Therefore, it is worth experimenting with new, more effective ones. In addition to the products, you need to use tools that will make the cleansing process faster and easier. For example, you can use a magnetic brush to clean windows.
Don't let chaos build up
As soon as a problem is discovered - for example, a stack of things on a chair or a dirty stove, you need to deal with it immediately. Firstly, this falls into the category of things that are easier to do right away than later, and secondly, this way you will subsequently have to spend much less time on general cleaning.
Clean up every day
To avoid general cleaning, you need to distribute the time spent on it over each day. Most likely, after work, no one will have the strength to inspect and process the entire apartment. In such a situation, it is worth dividing the cleaning into small components.
You might clean a room a day, or you might only do a specific activity, such as mopping floors or wiping down surfaces. This approach, combined with control over what exactly is being done so as not to happen again, will allow you to maintain order in the apartment without making any superhuman efforts.
If you use these tips, your home will be much more likely to be sparkling clean, and there will be no need for deep cleaning. Despite this, it is still recommended to carry out some kind of it at least once a month to make sure that order in the house is maintained.
