Make the Bed Every Morning<\/h2>\n<p>We are strong advocates of this small, simple daily action: <strong>a made bed is nice to look at and makes mornings more productive.<\/strong> The five extra minutes are the best spent of the day.<\/p>\n<h2>2. Air Out the House<\/h2>\n<p>Breezes of fresh air are good for the body and mind: while making the bed, open the windows and let clean air into the room. A room freshener and some room fragrances are the bonus that makes everything truly perfect.<\/p>\n<h2>3. Empty the Dishwasher and Dish Rack<\/h2>\n<p>How nice is a shiny, clean sink, free from dishes and pots? <strong>Once dried, put away the dishes in the appropriate compartments,<\/strong> emptying the dish rack and dishwasher waiting for the next load.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Vacuum<\/h2>\n<p>No matter how much of a clean freak you are: dust, hair, and pet fur are always lurking.<strong> It&#8217;s better not to postpone until tomorrow a vacuuming session that you can do today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignfull-width wp-image-89858 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe.jpg\" alt=\"GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe-400x300.jpg 400w, https:\/\/graziamagazine.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2024\/04\/GettyImages-tidy-house-cleaning-jeans-wardrobe-155x116.jpg 155w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>5. Put Away Unused Clothes<\/h2>\n<p>Your skill in building clothing towers that defy gravity won&#8217;t win you any awards. <strong>Clothes, once worn, should be stored in the closet or laundry basket<\/strong> waiting to go into the washing machine.<\/p>\n<h2>6. Keep the Bathroom Clean<\/h2>\n<p>The toilet seat up can be very annoying, but toothpaste residues and hair in the sink are no joke either. <strong>Remember to leave the bathroom exactly how you would like to find it:<\/strong> wipe away water residues from the tub and sponge the sink every morning and evening to remove soap, toothpaste, or makeup residues.<\/p>\n<h2>7. Take Off Your Shoes<\/h2>\n<p>Wanting to relax after a day of work is an inalienable right, but as soon as you get home, before lying down on the couch, <strong>remember to take off your shoes to avoid bringing street dirt into the house and to put jackets and coats in the appropriate closets or coat racks.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>8. Clean the Fridge<\/h2>\n<p>Weekly shopping is convenient, but before storing product upon product in the fridge, it&#8217;s better to <strong>clean and disinfect the shelves by wiping them with a damp cloth<\/strong> with water and vinegar to avoid bad odors.<\/p>\n<h2>9. Clean the Sink<\/h2>\n<p>It may seem obvious, but <strong>stoves and stove tops should be cleaned after every meal.<\/strong> A damp cloth with a little detergent is enough to sanitize and remove food and dirt residues, avoiding scratching surfaces when dirt is already encrusted.<\/p>\n<h2>10. Keep Papers and Correspondence Organized<\/h2>\n<p>If, just like with clothes, you are a serial accumulator of documents, papers, and correspondence, perhaps it&#8217;s time to tidy up. <strong>Learn to sort mail and advertisements into appropriate containers, file bills in folders, and keep letters and postcards in handy folders.<\/strong> You&#8217;ll save time searching when you need it and keep your home tidy.<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on Grazia.it &#8211; Author: Anna Tursi<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42690,"featured_media":89860,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[6939,2715,16,2723],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v18.5 (Yoast SEO v20.4) -
