Here are some tips on how you can keep your home your clean and tidy personal sanctuary:
First Tip: Organize, Organize, Organize!
If your home resembles a jungle, your closets bursting with unneeded items, and boxes of stuff needing to be unpacked after you moved to your new house last year and you never got around to face them, then we know how that feels.
If you’re having a hard time keeping your home clutter-free, the first tip would be to get rid of what you don’t use, and second, put things in their proper places.
One of the best ways to maintain a clutter-free home is having a place for each item in your home, and getting into the habit of putting everything away in its place regularly.
When each of your items and belongings has their own designated places, this system of being organized makes things easier to maintain a clutter-free home.
Our homes are our sanctuaries where we should feel the most comfortable. Yet with all these broken junk items, old clothes which we don’t wear anymore, and expired food and medicine, among other things, our homes start to feel more like a prison than a refuge.
Second Tip: Clean Regularly !
Surely, we need to have our homes clean. However, if you ask any professional organizer or an interior designer about how often you should clean your home, they will tell you that you don’t actually have to do general cleaning too often!
In today’s world, we are constantly surrounded by clutter. Meantime, we observe that more and more people are living a simple, minimalistic lifestyle, which helps in having a clean and clutter-free home.
Third Tip: Have Your Donation Box On Standby For Giving Away
When you are aware that you have a donation box allotted for goodwill, it helps you think of more things that you need to give away.
While going through those cabinets, desks, and drawers in your bedrooms, bathrooms, and kitchen, you come across things which no longer use -- so just toss it away to your donation box.
Quick tip: just make sure that these things are worth donating, otherwise just toss them straight to the garbage can.
When your donation box gets full, just drop the stuff off at your donation center and start again!
Advice from the experts: “An ongoing donation box makes it easy to declutter as you go about your day. Instead of waiting for designated “decluttering times”, by which time you may have forgotten what you wanted to get rid of, a handy donation box makes decluttering on the go easy.”
“The fewer barriers you have to declutter the easier it will be to clear the clutter and keep your home clutter-free and tidy!”
There you go, just a few tips to help homemakers and mommies have a cleaner and tidier home.
Still a few more words of advice from the experts:
Make decluttering and getting rid of things you don’t use, need or love as part of your daily routine. Even a five-minute declutter routine each day working on one drawer per day can go a long way!
And yes, aim for progress, not perfection. Your decluttering journey may take weeks even months to become your daily routine, and there’s no need to beat yourself up when you miss a few days.
The best thing is that you have already started your journey.
Cheers to your clean and tidy home, yes, not perfect, yet you’ll hang in there staying in your decluttering journey! For more of these home design and improvement tips, make sure to follow my blog to be always in the loop on the latest in homemaking ideas.
