As the saying goes, east or west, home is always the best. Everything revolves around your home because it acts as your launching pad for everything that you do. While many people find cleaning and tidying the house as a big deal, it does not have to be or does not have to take all your time.
You and your family need to create some habits and follow them instinctively. For example, you can make it a practice to remove all the newspapers a month old and better dispose of them.
Here are some easy tips that you can use to keep you home spotlessly clean and tidy:
Holistic approach
It would be best to emphasize tidying the whole house rather than different rooms separately. Pick one task, for example, dusting and do the same for every room in the house. Then take like mopping and cleaning the floor and repeat the whole process for every room. This makes you reach your cleaning goal fast without getting fatigued. Move from room to room before cleaning and clear all the clutter like the newspapers, magazines, old footwear, and even dusters. Make sure that you throw them away.
Dusting and vacuuming
Dust is a nuisance in every home because it needs a daily cycle of cleaning. It would help if you turned off all the fans before you start dusting and vacuuming. Mostly, you dust the furniture tops, shelves, rails, TV screens, and picture frames.
Mirrors and glass also gather dust and stains and need dusting too. Clean them using a damp cloth then buff off with a dry cloth.Your carpet collects unseen dirt which, if not removed, leads to a bad smell, thus using a vacuum cleaner to remove them. You may skip a day or two to do the vacuuming. Your sofas may also need vacuuming from time to time, say weekly.
Pay attention to the toilets, sinks, and tubs
On these, use the cleaning agent by spraying on the surfaces. Let it settle for some time to dissolve the stains. Then start scrubbing and clean with a lot of water. It is advisable to start with the kitchen and finish with the toilet.
As you can see, maintaining a clean and tidy house is not a hard task. You only need to establish some habits and observer them. Moreover, you can clean up as you cook, or after causing any little mess, and get used to returning everything in its place after use to maintain tidiness.
