CLEANING HACKS FOR KEEPING YOUR HOME NEAT AND TIDY

For most of us, keeping our homes clean is a constant challenge. Busy lives and other priorities mean that dishes, laundry and dust can pile up – even if we have the best of intentions. There are a few simple things you can do to make keeping your home neat and tidy a little bit of an easier task. The first is to have a plan. Schedule just five or ten minutes of cleaning into your day. Whether that means you do a quick vacuum before starting work, or run the duster throughout your home before bed, having a specific time set aside will make it easier to stay on top of things. Another helpful hack is to create a simple list you either hang on your fridge or store on your phone. Write down all the smaller daily or weekly tasks you’d like to accomplish and then reward yourself with a nice checkmark once complete. Next up, store all your cleaning supplies in a caddy and put it in one easy to access area. Whether that’s under your sink or in your linen closet, being able to grab the entire caddy and just get to work makes cleaning seem a little more accessible on those busy days. Last up, set up baskets and other storage solutions to help keep clutter at bay. Do things always seem to pile up on your kitchen counters? Keep a small basket nearby so they can all go into before getting put away in their proper place. Always have clean laundry piled up waiting to be put away? Invest in some nice fabric hampers and label them with a tag that says “clean.” Laundry can’t put itself away, but at least it can hand out in a cute basket until you’re ready to tackle it.

Answers: A rabbit and a duck.
