Make Your Bed Every Morning
A clean bed in a cluttered area can encourage you to keep the rest of your bedroom clean. Waking up in the morning and making your bed is an excellent way to start your day—with a feeling of accomplishment. A simple task that takes less than three minutes, it’ll positively impact your mental state and lead to better productivity. Getting into the habit of making your bed every morning is a great goal and step toward keeping your home organized.
Keep The Kitchen Counters Clear
When you use your kitchen, simply keeping the counters free of clutter, food, and dishes is an essential step to keeping your kitchen clean. It motivates you to use it more often, cook healthy meals, and stay hydrated! A disorderly and unorganized kitchen may subconsciously deter you from wanting to use it, so due diligence, and regularly cleaning tasks are key.
Getting into the habit of putting things back where they belong as soon as you use them, and disposing of items you no longer need will help keep your counters free of clutter. As soon as you make a meal, clean the dishes and put them away. This routine of kitchen cleaning will make the best of your home keeping time.
Another great routine to instill in your day-to-day life is sustaining the organization of your pantry! By keeping up with the items, where they’re placed, and maintaining the aesthetic you created, you’ll be encouraged to keep the rest of your kitchen just as clean!
Sort Through Your Mail And Packages
Boxes, envelopes, and opened mail can build up and take over your living room or kitchen very quickly. As soon as you receive a package, make it a habit to open, store your new belongings, and dispose of the box. As cardboard boxes pile up, they can become a home to pests and germs. Opened mail should be shredded or stored, and disposed of as soon as you’re done with them to prevent any accumulation of paper and packages. This is a great routine to make a habit of and can make a difference in how cluttered your home gets.
Take Out That Trash
Nothing says dirty, unkempt, and germ-ridden other than an overflowing garbage can. Whether it’s the trash in your kitchen, bathroom, or bedroom—getting in the habit of disposing of the garbage bags as soon as they’re full is essential to maintaining a clean home. Not only will it keep your room fresh, but it will also prevent pests from making a home in your garbage bins, and the build-up of harmful pathogens.
A few of these simple tasks can become routines and be incorporated in your day-to-day, helping you maintain a clean home! If things get out of hand or you need some professional help, call on your local cleaning service, Obsessive Cleaning. After all, we obsess so you can rest.
