It is very easy to get caught up in a busy lifestyle and the daily rush to maintain an organised home. The balancing act of keeping up with chores at home and attending to other commitments is an endless cycle. The pile of papers, laundry and mail to sort through continues to grow and the tidying up is making no difference. With these practical and simple cleaning tips, you’ll be able to transform the whole house on a daily basis without sacrificing more of your precious time.
THE BEDROOM
Simple cleaning tips in the bedroom can make your day go smoothly. It’s important to begin the day by making the bed. As soon as you jump out, it can help to get your productivity levels in motion. This is also a useful way to defer you from crawling back under the covers. It is handy to keep cleaning wipes by the bedside table to give it a quick wipe when picking up your phone and other belongings. The closet is a great place to declutter, leave a hamper close by so you are able to throw or donate clothes you no longer need when choosing what to wear. At the end of the day, resist the urge to put clothes on a chair and immediately hang them back up instead.
THE BATHROOM
After having a shower, spritz your bathroom with some cleaning spray and rinse out any dirt. To ensure they are air-dried properly, utilising bars and hooks to hang towels and robes can make all the difference in avoiding a smell. As they are reused quite often, place them in the hamper rather than on the floor. After brushing your teeth at night, make some time to clear away any products by the sink. It can make some room for the next day, making your morning’s easier. Following these simple cleaning tips in the bathroom can save you plenty of time!
THE KITCHEN
When waiting for the toaster or the kettle to boil, take the opportunity to unload the dishwasher so it is ready for your incoming dirty dishes from breakfast. It is easy to notice spills by inspecting benchtops or tables in the daylight. By cleaning them right away, stains and smears can be avoided. When the end of dinnertime comes, it is time to toss out old dish towels for the wash. Also, cleaning as you cook by quickly rinsing cutlery is a strategic cleaning tip. It can ease the burden of packing up after a meal.
THE LIVING ROOM
A helpful cleaning tip is to place baskets in most of the rooms in the house, particularly the living room. When doing a quick walk-through on your way out, chuck any clutter into the basket. Leave it by the door so you’re reminded to place it all back in the right places.
THE ENTRYWAY
To have a space set up to easily access your keys, coat and shoes is a crucial cleaning tip. The morning rush will go a lot more smoothly knowing exactly where your necessities can be found. When coming back home, make sure to take out the trash regularly rather than leaving it by the doorway.
