1) The rule of short times
Apply this rule in two senses, to not leave behind tasks and things to clean and tidy up and to find time to devote to domestic cleaning. It is a matter of immediately making those gestures that take a few minutes and allow you to have a clean and tidy home without necessarily having to take a day since there are no scattered objects and dirty surfaces.
Here is a list with a few illustrations.
- Hang up coats and scarves as soon as you arrive.
- Clean the kitchen right away.
- Wash the dishes or empty the dishwasher.
- Rearrange the sofa.
- Store the things you use.
2) Divide spaces
Instead of leaving things lying around, find a space for everything. Therefore, containers, boxes,, and baskets come in handy, allowing you to divide things by type, find them immediately without wasting time, and recover space. You can also take advantage of empty and vertical corners, for example, inside the wardrobe.
3) Leave the surfaces dry
Dry the surfaces, ie, the worktops, the kitchen sink, the sink, to eliminate drops and limit the accumulation of limescale, which gives the feeling of dirt and disorder.
