A clean and organized home is something every person desire to have. But the notion of having everything in order and well-arranged always is quite challenging. This might be due to busy schedules, laziness or even not knowing where to start. This manual will try to make house cleaning easier and even enjoyable

1. Make a cleaning timetable

If you want your home to always being neat, then you should have a cleaning schedule. You can divide your chores into daily, weekly and monthly tasks. For example.

1. Daily: Make the bed, do dishes, wipe kitchen tops, empty trash cans.
2. Weekly: Vacuum/mop floors, clean bathrooms, dust surfaces, change bed sheets.
3. Monthly: Deep clean appliances, wash windows, declutter closets and clean under furniture.

Having a program helps split tasks into smaller portions that can be handled easily thus preventing accumulation of dirt which might require much time for cleaning.

2. Get rid of clutter frequently

To keep your home clean you need to remove anything that is not useful. When going through each item ask yourself if it’s still necessary or if there is something else better placed in its position? This will help create space and at the same time get rid of objects that may cause disorderliness. You can use one room at a time so as not feel overwhelmed by the process. Also employ ‘one in, out rule’; this means for any new item brought into the house another should be taken out. It helps maintain equilibrium thus preventing accumulation of more clutter.

3. Use of correct cleaning equipment and supplies

The right equipment and supplies can help you save time while cleaning. Here are some of them:

1. Microfiber cloths that are good for dusting and wiping surfaces.
2. Vacuum cleaner, which is used to remove dirt from carpets, rugs as well as hard floors.
3. Mop and bucket for washing hard floors.
4. All-purpose cleaner that can be applied on most surfaces.
5. For windows and mirrors, use a glass cleaner.
6. To keep the bathroom, clean always ensure that you have a toilet brush and cleaner.
7. It is wise to buy tools of good quality since they will save your time and energy in the long run.

 

4. Pay attention to high-traffic areas

Some parts of the house get dirty quicker than others. To keep your home clean focus on these areas:

1. Kitchen

This is the heart of every home and usually where most messes are made. Wipe down counters daily, clean up any spills immediately and check the fridge for expired products frequently.

2. Bathrooms

They should be kept fresh by wiping surfaces daily; cleaning toilets regularly; ensuring proper ventilation to prevent mold build up due to dampness from showers etc.

3. Living room

Organize remote controls; fold, throw blankets neatly and fluff pillows every now and then. Vacuum or sweep this space often to control dust and crumbs.

5. Get The Whole Family To Help

It is difficult for one person to keep the house clean all the time. Therefore, involve every member of the family in the process. Assign children age-appropriate tasks like making their beds or picking up toys. You can create a chore chart where everyone ticks what they have done and rewards them with fun activities or treats for being consistent.

6. Develop Good Habits

Incorporating simple habits into your daily routine can keep your home cleaner without much extra effort. Some habits to consider:

Clean as you go: Whether cooking, crafting, or playing, clean up messes as they happen.

Do a nightly tidy-up: Spend 10-15 minutes each night putting things back in their place.

Shoes off at the door: This reduces the amount of dirt and grime brought into your home.
