Living in a simplified, uncluttered home is less stressful because
it looks orderly and peaceful. It’s also easier to clean and organise such a
well kept house. Your visitors and even a professional home cleaner will
appreciate the attractiveness of an uncluttered house. Naturally, it takes less
time to perform any specialised cleaning task in such an organised home.
“We believe that a tidy and spotless house that looks great helps
reduce stress and increases your productivity,” says Select Cleaning, the most
sought after professional house cleaning service in New Zealand.
Now let’s look at some cleaning and organising ideas for you to
manage your home and life just how you want.
General Home Cleaning & Organising Ideas
Old magazines: Reuse or recycle old books and magazines which you no
longer require for reading/reference purpose. Wipe and disinfect remote
controls, the landline telephone, switch plates and other commonly used
electronic gadgets.
Doormats: Remember to clean the doormat occasionally. First, shake
out the dust and debris from the mat, and then vacuum it with a brush
attachment. If dirt is still visible, apply some baking soda using a scrub
brush, and finally rinse it off with a garden hose.
If the doormat is a carpeted one, clean it effectively with an
upholstery or carpet shampoo.
How to clean out the pantry: Wipe down the pantry or cupboard
shelves. Remove any racks or drawers associated with these areas and wash them
in the sink. Sort the bottles and jars and don’t hesitate to say goodbye to
what you don't use.
Now wipe down those items you want to keep in the pantry. Also dust
and wipe down the shelves and walls.
Refrigerator cleaning & organising: The dish racks, drawers,
drain catch, and drip sponges of the refrigerator should be run through the
dishwasher at least once in a month.
For storing the food properly, ensure that you rotate the food and
use it up on a timely basis. Scrub down the inside of the refrigerator and keep
the storage areas clean and dry. Remove unwanted food or other items in the
plastic containers.
Bathroom cleaning tips: The mother of a three year old daughter
said, “One thing that I learned while raising a daughter is that bath time is
PERFECT for cleaning the bathroom! I am able to keep her supervised while
interacting with her and cleaning the sinks, mirrors etc! Also because she is
in the tub, I don't have to worry about her grabbing any of the cleaning supplies.”
That’s a good tip indeed for peacefully spending time to clean your
bathroom!
Floor cleaning: “I sweep and dust my floors daily. In Canada we took
shoes off in the house which helped keep floors clean. In Australia we don’t,
so in my home cleaning floors is a must,” according to a well organised
homeowner.
However, if there are no children and pets in the house, and nobody
has much time for cleaning, you can use a vacuum instead of sweeping, for all hard
surfaces, carpets and tiles.
Quick cleaning tips: When the need arises to quickly clean your house,
utilise the big-picture thinking strategy.
Clean the areas that are more relevant to the immediate situation in
front of you. Organisation is the
important factor here. By multi tasking and strictly following a set time
limit, you can manage the cleaning efficiently. Gather all the cleaning
products and equipment ready, and move from one room to others fast, without
wasting time going back to rooms.
