10 *tiny* habits for a CLEAN and CLUTTER FREE home

How many of these habits do you practice in your own home? 👀

Sometimes when I don’t feel like doing a chore like laundry, I pretend I’m in an aesthetic YouTube video doing the task😂shorts can glamorize simple tasks and it helps

With the bed thing, I think its good practice to allow the space to breathe (its also Italian culture). When I wake up I open the bed up completely and open a window. Usually I let it air for 30mins then I make the bed. Even, if you have a balcony or juliet in the bedroom, its good to put the duvet there to air out. The basket for random items is a great idea that I'll be taking too.

Second basket for items without a home chefs kiss BEST IDEA I HAVE HEARD IN A VERY LONG TIME!!

I put my house to bed every night… I straighten and put everything in its place. I get the coffee pot ready too. It’s nice to get up in the morning to a neat home and smell the coffee brewing ❤️ I just started to do a whole house declutter too. It’s going slow but ok. I retired 2 years ago and now hubby and I realize we need to down size so the decluttering is key. Thank you for all your great tips, I’ll tune in for more 🌺

my fave tip for keeping things tidy (i’m the least tidy person my age i know of lol but it works when i do it) is if it takes less than 5 minutes to do - just do it. like if you have dishes in your room, just go put them in the sink. it takes 30s. I just have been so lazy lately and mentally drained that i haven’t been doing it lately but definitely helps me when i’m not feeling like this

My daughter came over one morning to find us gone and knew we had had an emergency because my bed was not made. My mom had to go to the emergency room.

Opening the curtains and making the bed went from a chore to a lovely part of my morning routine over the course of a few weeks. Such an easy but defined way to start the day. That's the power of habit: once I got used to it, it's almost not something I even think about when I do it.

When I was younger, I hated chores. One was dishes of course. My Dad explained to me that when you’re done using the sink it’s good to rinse out the food (and trap if you have one) then run the disposal with a little cleaner. He said, “it’s kinda like a toilet, you gotta flush when you’re done”. Once I got older I was like, oh my gosh that’s the best way to put it 😂 As far as the video, this is the best cleaning video out there! Mondays are my deep clean days, then the rest of the week I do these little ‘maintenance’ cleaning tips and it honestly makes housework a piece of cake because it’s never really messy. It’s just touch up cleaning and so nice!

Don't know if this will help but for anyone who gets grossed out by tasks - I have clean kitchen gloves and dirty so for like washing up I use clean but taking the bins out, sorting the strainer in the sink I use the dirty and I can disinfect them both but I feel less procrastination towards these tasks

great tips!! thank you. My problem is I get sidetracked so easily. I'll try to clean the kitchen and then all the sudden I see something in the living room, and then I see something in bathroom, and so on and so forth. So what works for me is I set a time, whether that's a podcast episode or a Spotify playlist or however long my dinner is in the oven, and I just clean for that amount of time with no focus. Whatever comes into my mind or sight within that time is what I clean. I found I was stressing myself out by only focusing on one room, so with this method I find myself so much more productive.

You are so right with all these suggestions. I do all of them and I feel so good when it’s done.

Before I take a shower I spray it with a cleaner and then clean the shower It's always clean.

I obsessed with the sink strainer, I empty it every time I use the sink!

I listen to non-fiction audio book whilst doing dishes. I feel good getting educated whilst doing a drab task.

Watching this as my house is a WRECK!

I love the clutter basket idea for Tupperware/returns etc!

I need to practice the wiping surfaces when zim done using them, like sink after washing teeth, because it’s always first thing to get dirty
