We all have a lot of tasks to do that keep us busy all the time; for this reason, it is very easy to neglect or forget to carry out some tasks which then results in disorder and accumulation. By the time we are available, it will be too stressful and daunting because there is already so much buildup and clutter that we don’t know where to start. So, make sure you make a habit of it and maintain a routine to ensure that a clean and tidy home is not only aesthetically pleasing but can also bring you relief and relaxation. Discover 7 professional tips for keeping a clean and organized home with this video tutorial from LilyBirdTime on YouTube.
Advice:
- Make sure everything has a place
- Put everything away after use
- Apply the “one in, one out” rule.
- Dedicate some time to tidying up every day
- Keep cleaning products easily accessible
- Tidy up one room at a time

How to get:
Tip no. 1: Make sure everything has a place .
Assign a specific place to everything in the house: when all family members know where a certain object is kept, it will be easier to put it in its place and keep everything organised. While it may take a little time to get everyone on the same page, once you do it will be worth it.
Tip no. 2: Keep everything after use .
It’s obvious and simple advice, but not putting things back in their place is the main culprit of mess and risks causing clutter to accumulate in your home. When you decide to clean, it will be more stressful and time-consuming than if you put everything back immediately after use. Make it a habit to teach yourself and your family to put everything away properly and encourage everyone to put everything back where it belongs.
Tip #3: Implement the “one in, one out” rule.
This advice is simple but effective: the only thing you need to remember is to part with an existing item after each new purchase. Instead of storing old items, make sure you keep them, if they are broken throw them away or give them away. This will prevent your assets from accumulating unnecessarily.
Tip no. 4: Set aside time each day to tidy up .
- Start the day by making the beds: your room will immediately be tidier and you will feel more positive.
- Wash and put away dishes after each meal and make sure to clean the sink, worktop and hob to avoid deposits forming.
- Clean up immediately after eating, be sure to wipe down the table and then sweep or vacuum the floor to remove crumbs or spills.
- Give the bathroom a quick clean, clean the countertop and sink, scrub the toilet bowl if necessary and clean the mirror too.
- Tidy up the living room, put away the clutter and rearrange the furniture.
- Sweep the floor, especially high-traffic areas, and clean up any dirt or spills.
- Remove waste from around the house regularly and dispose of it in the appropriate outdoor containers.
- If you have pets, clean them daily, especially the litter box, and be sure to clean spills and crumbs from bowls as well.
