Tips for a More Organised and Peaceful Home

The inside of a clean home is not just visually appealing, it is beautiful as it helps create a home that brings about harmony and relaxation. It is time to explore some specific and useful recommendations and steps that will help turn your home into a clean and calm haven.

1. Decluttering: The Foundation of an Organised Home

● Implement the “one in, one out” rule: Eliminate one thing from home for every new article you introduce into your home.
● Use the four-box method: Divide belongings into “definitely should keep,” “should give away,” “could sell or could give away,” and “should discard” piles.
● Tackle one area at a time: Begin with relocating a drawer, then a closet, and so on up to a whole room.
● Use more management techniques that help in avoiding the accumulation of papers and photographs, for instance, scanning.

2. Creating an Effective Cleaning Schedule

● Daily tasks: tidy up bedrooms, wash up dinnerware, wash countertops, and wash/mop floors in more frequently used spaces.
● Weekly tasks: sweep and mop the floor, wash bathroom, wash bed clothes and change them, do washing.
● Monthly tasks: sweep and/or wipe the dust on the ceilings, wash windows, take care of the upholstery, and re-arrange items in the pantry.
● Seasonal tasks: include vacuuming and shampooing the carpets, washing the curtains, removing all perishable items from the refrigerator, and rearranging the storeroom.

3. The “Clean as You Go” Approach

● Maintain cleaning goods and equipment within the areas where they are familiar and would be required frequently.
● Clean with a wet cloth the part where water usually splashes after each shower to avoid soaping up.
● Wipe the countertop and utensils, as well as other kitchen tools, after preparing the meals.
● Unlike procrasti-posting, sorting the post as soon as it arrives minimises the creation of stacks of paper.

4. Investing in the Right Cleaning Tools

● Cleaning rags and wiping cloths such as microfiber for dusting different parts and surfaces in the room.
● An effective vacuum cleaner with accessories makes cleaning various types of floors and corners easy.
● Vacuum cleaner for chemical free cleaning of the floors and for normal cleaning of the upholstery of a vehicle.
● Suppliers and shelves for appropriate storage systems.

5. High-Traffic Area Maintenance

● Use door mats both at the door and the entries to prevent passage of dirt and dust into the house.
● Some specific measures that should be adopted include the no shoes indoors policy, which will go a long way in keeping the floors, especially in the corridors and inside the rooms, cleaner.
● Opt for washable rugs in the heavily trafficked areas, so that cleaning is not a problem whenever it is needed.
● Maintain a small vacuum cleaner or broom nearby for picking up trash, spits, or any spills.

6. Tackling Often-Overlooked Cleaning Spots

● A dirty vent should be cleaned frequently, and the filters should be changed to enhance air flow.
● Scrub and clean the outer and inner parts of the trash cans to eliminate bad smell.
● This is the right time to clean and descale kettles and coffee makers so you can have a better-tasting water for your beverages.
● Clean the base boards and crown moulding to get rid of dust that may have settled.

7. Effective Storage Solutions

● Organise with shelves that go up the walls and utilise over-the-door storage.
● Label all storage boxes and containers.
● Organise closets by using more compact hangers and dividers for drawers.
● Add pull out cabinets in kitchen and bathroom cupboards.

8. Room-by-Room Deep Cleaning Strategy

● Kitchen: Clean appliances, degrease range hood & sink, and sanitise the disposal.
● Bathroom: Clean grout on floor and walls; wash shower head; wash toilet brush.
● Bedroom: mattress turning and rotation, pillow washing, vacuum under the beds.
● Living Room: Sweep behind and under furniture, launder curtains, and remove dust from electronics.

9. Family Involvement in Cleaning

● Draw up a chore chart using age appropriate tasks to give to each member of your family.
● Provide incentives for chores to be completed.
● Bring cleaning as a fun experience with music and games so that even the younger ones are involved.
● We should also encourage children to maintain cleanliness and ensure that their things are properly arranged.

10. Making Cleaning Enjoyable

● Make cleaning playlists based on the theme of the room or cleaning activity being carried out.
● Use alarms on time schedules for short, concise cleaning intervals (e.g., 15 min of cleanup activities).
● It is recommended to give oneself a break after accomplishing various cleaning chores.
● It is easier to endure longer cleaning sessions with the help of audiobooks or podcasts.
