Keeping the house clean is not everyone’s cup of tea. Now that more people are working from home or home-schooling, this task is even more difficult. Most people are less active when working from home. Moreover, if one has children, household chores come a distant second to watching them.
This month, as we usher in the festive season, we would like to share a few simple hacks on how you can keep up with cleanliness during this very unique festive season. Read on.
- Always make your bed when you wake up – how neat the bed is changes how neat a room looks. Making your bed also has the psychological quality of helping you start your day well. And nobody ever complained about retiring to a well-made bed at night.
- Get the family involved – This might be the most unpopular move you’ve made at home for a while. But clutter is what makes every home look untidy. Make it a rule that everybody must pick up after themselves, put coats and shoes away, put dishes in the sink and clean their own rooms. They will all grumble for a few weeks. But over time, this will become a habit for each of them.
- Keep cleaning on your mind at all times – You are always getting up and walking around the house for different reasons. Take advantage of these little trips from room to room by doing some cleaning as you go. If you’re going from the sitting room to the kitchen, pick up a dirty cup with you and put it in the sink. If you’re going to the bedroom, carry the jacket you carelessly tossed over the chair upstairs with you and hang it neatly in the wardrobe.
