Simple Tips To Try

It’s important to realise that there are a number of different ways to get your home clean.

However, unless you actually put in the work of cleaning your home isn’t going to look any different than it does today.

It’s not difficult to clean, but it is more difficult to find the motivation to clean if you don’t have simple routines in place.

• Take it slow: If you haven’t cleaned in a while you aren’t going to get the cleaning done in one session. Take your time and be proud of what you have achieved in the time that you have got.
• Little and often: This is my preferred method of cleaning. My attention span is only about 20 minutes at a time, so my cleaning is done in little sections throughout the day no more than 10 minutes at a time.
• Ask for help: I think this is the most important thing you can do, unless you live alone. If you have other people living in your home, then they need to help to keep it clean and tidy. If you live on your own, you can still ask for help cleaning but you might need to pay someone to help you clean rather than expecting family to clean for you. You need to find a way that ensures everyone has a list of things they need to do.
• Settle for done not perfect: I always wanted the cleaning done perfectly and if it wasn’t I would do it again. This meant that in the end no one in my family would help me clean as it was never good enough. This has had knock on effects as my children got older, they didn’t know how to clean when they moved out. It’s better to accept the help and be thankful that it’s sort of clean and better than what it was before the help.
• Enjoy it: Once you have spent the time cleaning your home learn to enjoy it. With the recent events, it has taught us to love our homes more and to be comfortable spending time in our homes and just enjoying being at home.
