Hi, It's Tia!
I find there are two types of people.
Some find it easy to keep their home neat and clean.
And thenthere’s the rest of us.
If you've ever wondered if your super clean and organized friend has magical powers that help her keep her home in tip-top shape,
You should try to implement these 9 secrets that I'm going to share with you in this video into your life.
Some people can keep their house clean effortlessly, and it’s time for us non-tidy people to learn their formula.
1. They use the sunlight to their advantage.
Any time sunlight is coming into your home at an angle, dust, especially on horizontal surfaces, will be revealed
The more dust you can see on coffee tables, shelves, and counters, the less you'll miss.
Even if there isn't any direct sunlight, when cleaning shiny surfaces like glass or mirrors, you can actually turn off the lights in the room and smears and smudges will show more
It turns out that ultraviolet light is a natural disinfectant that cuts bacteria in half on countertops, door handles, and other surfaces.
2. They store things vertically.
To make better use of the storage space you have, but avoid a toppling effect,
Standing things on end in a container, rather than laying them flat, tends to make them more accessible
This works with T-shirts, business cards, notebooks, cookie sheets, spools of ribbon, you name it.
3, They know how much time each chore really takes to finish
Have you ever had a cleaning task that you avoided because you thought you didn’t have the time to get it done,
and then when you actually cleaned it all up it took way less time than you thought?
Tidy home keepers and not-so-tidy people can look at the same mess and see it from completely opposite points of view.
A sink full of dishes is a huge mountain to climb for not-so-tidy people,
while the tidy person realizes it will only take about 15 minutes to get everything done and put away.
If you know the time it takes for each house chore, you can easily take action whenever you have time, so you can always keep the house tidy.
I will link my previous cleaning videos that will help you through down in the description box.
In the long run, the non-tidy people waste more time thinking about not wanting to do the chore than it takes to complete the task.
4. They have a stockpile of microfiber cloths.
Every pro cleaners I spoke to swore by microfiber cloths for dusting.
The fibers in the cloth are split with open hooks on the end to pick up and hold the dust in the cloth
These cloths are so effective, you don't even need to use chemicals or additional products.
If there are rings on a surface, the cloth can be dampened with a little bit of water.
5. They pair chores with existing habits.
The best way to make cleaning a daily habit: Pair it with something you're already doing.
You can wipe down the fixtures in the bathroom every morning while you brush my teeth.
As shown in my previous videos, I always unload the dishwasher while making coffee in the morning.
Making sure you stock up on the right supplies will make cleaning a lot better experience.
Placing trash immediately in a bin will become second nature if you have them in every room.
If you don’t have a trash can in every room, clutter ends up on countertops and will take more time to clean up.
Keeping a clean clothes basket for each family member will help sort things as soon as you pulled them out of the dryer.
Keep cleaning supplies on every floor of the home.
Something as simple as washing your bathroom sink will take just moments if cleaning supplies are kept at hand.
If you hate ironing, so you always end up with piles of clothes with no end in sight, consider getting a clothes steamer, and see how easy it is to get them ironed.
7. MAKE IT FAST & FUN
Set your alarm on your phone for ten minutes for each section of the house each day.
This way, cleaning up does not take over your life and you are not overwhelmed with clutter!
You will be surprised to see how much you can clean in just ten minutes!
People who're good at tidying up often love popping in their earphones, listening to their favourite music and getting their clean on.
You should trt this strategy to associate cleaning with something positive.
8. Break down tasks
If you have a large project that seems overwhelming, take a deep breath.
Tasks like these can throw us off course, and we end up not accomplishing anything.
Break up your task into small tasks and finish as many as you can. This is one of the most important things to remember.
Spray on your stovetop cleaner and let it sit while you load the dishwasher.
Pour 2 cups of white vinegar in the toilet bowl before you go to sleep in the morning, your waterline marks should be gone.
By accomplishing two things at once, you’ll be able to get through chores much faster.
9. They just get it over with.
Being supremely clean doesn't mean you always enjoy cleaning.
People who spend the day productively have a habit of finishing work that they do not want to do and are burdensome in the morning.
It's because they don't want to spend the rest of the day constantly stressing over the things they don't want to do.
So, most of the people who always keep their house tidy also do the housekeeping in the morning.
Of course, you will be busy with going to work or preparing the children, but as I said before, if you set an alarm for 10 minutes before going out,
or subdivide your work to do it efficiently, you will be surprised that you can organize more space than you think in a short time.
Today, I've shared 9 secreits of people who are good at keeping their home tidy,
and as you know, these are surprisingly easy and simple things, so please try to apply them to your daily life starting tomorrow.
