Last night during a dinner with friends, the conversation turned to tidying up and cleaning. My friends don’t like to clean and tidy up, always look like a mountain now that they have a busy job. They are now going to live together, which means that the house is even bigger, with more spaces, holes, cracks, and much more furniture. I get it; it’s not the nicest job there is .. but I still like to do it. A tidy house gives you space in your head. I make time to scrub and sort or clean up everything. And no, I don’t have a boring or quiet life .. but a clean house value a lot. So I always find a moment in the week to tackle everything thoroughly. Now I must confess that my house is 36 square meters and not like my friends, who live in a big house. My house is old, so there are many holes and cracks, which is not always handy for a duster! I really have to vacuum every day because everything gets dusty so quickly. I’m allergic to dust mites, that too.

Tips for cleaning & tidying up! Tips for cleaning & tidying up!
Tip 1
Make a to-do list. You write down all your chores and tasks, and when this is done, you can check it off. First, write down the somewhat rotten chores and then the easy ones. It’s a great feeling when you’ve done everything, and you see a list with only checkmarks! It is also useful as a reminder. That way you don’t forget the small jobs that have been waiting for you for weeks.
Tip 2
Do one task at a time at a time. So don’t run back and forth between different tasks. For example, do your shopping first and then clean it up. When this is done, you can, for example, scrub the toilet and then the rest of the bathroom.
Tip 3
Use baskets or containers in your closet. Sort your socks, underwear, or other items that way. This keeps everything clean and tidy.
Tip 4
Try to clean up for 15 minutes every night. Put everything from that day on the table, on the floor, or anywhere else in its permanent place! This way, you can start your day clean the next morning. Not everything has to end up in a cupboard, which is also nice to store things in other ways. For example, I have my wrapping paper in a cardboard bag, and I put my herbs in glass jars!
Tip 5
It is important to me that my sink looks neat. I find pits full of food scraps super dirty! I also have to brush my teeth daily in my kitchen because I have a mini bathroom without a sink! A handy tip is to clean your sink with a little bleach. He’s going to shine again!
Tip 6
If you use wooden cutting boards, it is useful to treat them with oil beforehand. This way, you don’t get dirty stains, and the planks stay nicer!
Tip 7
Try to agree with yourself to vacuum once a week. It may not be the most fun job, but make it fun by listening to music through earplugs, for example! And vacuuming is also good for exercise. When the job is done, you have a wonderfully fresh and, above all, dust-free house.
Tip 8
Wipe the shelves, tables, stools, and cupboards with a wet cloth (for example, a fiber cloth). By vacuuming first, you will remove most of the dust from the floor. Remove the other dusts that have ended up in the air, and then settle on your furniture with a cloth. This way, you save double work!
Tip 9
I personally think laundry is a chore. Throwing it in the washing machine is easy, but then hang everything up and fold it .. a lot of work! But when it comes out of the washing machine, the smell makes me very happy. Washing tip: Put your laundry inside out in the washing machine. This prevents a lot of wear and tear!
Tip 10
Your laundry really doesn’t get nicer and cleaner if you fill the washing machine completely with clothes. It was not! Do not fill the washing machine completely full!
