Doesn’t everyone strive always to have a clean home?
Sure, but this doesn’t mean that everybody always has a clean and tidy home 100% of the time.
The truth is that keeping your home clean and tidy all the time takes a lot of commitment, and that may be a big ask, seeing as we already have so many other things going on.
Luckily, there are a few things one can do to have an effortlessly clean home. The key is building habits so you aren’t cleaning constantly.
1. Make a Habit of Buying Less and Getting Rid of More
When we have too many things lying around that don’t add much value to our lives, it can make it difficult to keep things clean and tidy.
The more stuff you have, the more clutter you will have, and clutter collects dust, which makes the whole cleaning process really difficult. Cleaning is a lot easier when you streamline your personal possessions, and for this, you may need to make a habit out of embracing less by avoiding impulse buys.
Decluttering is also a great way to save money!
2. Make a Habit of the One-Touch Rule
If you are not putting things in the right place when you get home, such as your keys, coat, or umbrella, for example, then you are making your cleaning process further down the line a lot more difficult.
By making a habit of putting things where they belong as soon as you’re done using them, you are making sure that your cleaning processes are more streamlined further down the line.
3. Make a Habit of Creating an Organizational Set-up
Everything in your home needs to have has its own designated spot when it’s not being used is a great way to keep your cleaning tasks easy and successful. To make this habit easier, you may need to invest in some containers or other organizational tools that can make this easier.
4. Make It a Habit To Stick to a Cleaning Schedule
If you want to ensure that your house is clean and tidy all the time but aren’t sure how to get started, then perhaps making a cleaning schedule is a good way to go. Making the schedule is easy, but sticking to it is what will make or break your mission to keep your home in order. For this step, you may need to get other family members involved to pull the weight of the whole household.
5. Make a Habit of Cleaning as You
One of the best ways to always have a clean and tidy home is to clean as you go as often as possible. Instead of waiting for the dishes to pile up as the days go by, you’d be far better off washing them as they get dirty or placing them in the dishwasher before they have a chance to touch the sink.
This is just one example of cleaning as you go, but it can be applied to so many areas of the home, and cleaning a little bit here and there is a lot less daunting than cleaning for hours.
