In this article, we will discuss how to quickly make your apartment clean and cozy without unnecessary effort.
1 1. Start with the bathroom
Why begin with the bathroom? This is where jars, bottles, and small items often accumulate, creating visual chaos.
- Clear everything off the surfaces and put them in the cabinets.
- Wipe down the fixtures, sink, and mirrors.
While they dry, you can move on to the next area.
2. Give priority to the kitchen
The kitchen often becomes the epicenter of clutter.
- If you have a dishwasher, load the dirty dishes into it.
- Washing by hand? Soak the dishes in warm soapy water and clean the countertop and stove.
- After that, rinse the plates and leave them to dry.
2 3. Take photos of your apartment
Take a few pictures of the rooms from different angles. This will help you objectively see the areas that need cleaning. Visualization allows you to focus on key spots without getting distracted.
4. Two trash bags in each room
Take two bags into each room:
- One for trash.
- The second for items that can be thrown away or put back in their place.
This method helps you quickly get rid of clutter.
5. Make your bed
Starting by making your bed instantly creates a sense of order in the bedroom. Temporarily place items that need to be put away on the bed to make them easier to organize later.
3 6. Focus on key areas
If you are expecting guests or simply want to create order, concentrate on the kitchen, bathroom, and hallway. The bedroom and workspace can be tidied up superficially.
7. Clear the floor
Before mopping or vacuuming the floor, remove everything unnecessary from it. This will make it easier to move around the room and speed up the cleaning process.
8. Don't forget about pets
If you have pets, pay attention to the areas where they spend the most time. Vacuum the carpet and furniture, change the water in their bowl, and clean the litter box.
4 9. Use vacuum attachments
Utilize special vacuum attachments to quickly remove dust and dirt from hard-to-reach places. This will help avoid unnecessary wet cleaning.
10. Mirrors — the finishing touch
Wipe the mirrors until they shine with cleanliness. Smudges on the glass can instantly ruin the impression, even if the rest of the apartment is perfectly tidy.
