We tell about what psychological tricks and proven receptions for cleaning should be applied to make the process of cleansing the house easier and more pleasant.
1 Remove too much
Forced stay of the house - the best time to bring in the interior of minimalism. To make it easier for cleaning, remove everything too much. For example, you are now unlikely to need all the shoes that stands in the hallway on the floor. Leave one pair in which you can walk to the store and walk the dog, and the rest is sorted by boxes and send to the closet. Also enclose with the top clothes and accessories. You can reduce the number of cups and plates in the kitchen so that the temptation does not occur to scap the mountains of the dishes in the sink.
Come around the apartment and appreciate the soberly that you use every day - in fact, there are not so many such things. Leave only them in sight, and the rest gently fold and remove away from the eye. So cleaning will become easier, and it will be free to breathe.
2 Check and rub dust
Probably the most important thing to do in the conditions of self-insulation is to ensure yourself at least somehow fresh air. In the conditions of the city, the constantly open windows lead to the fact that dust will settle faster than usual. Good news: If you followed the first advice, wipe all horizontal surfaces - the case is ten minutes. It is best to do it at the end of the day, before bedtime, so that in the air does not smell dust.
Fresh and clean air gives a feeling of purity, even if the children scattered toys, and other family members are clothing.
3 Use suitable cleaning facilities
When choosing household chemicals or cleaning products made by your own hands, it is important to navigate two factors: how well they disinfect the surface and how quickly they cope with pollution. The most comfortable form that is well suited for this description - sprays and aerosols. They are rapidly applied, they are economically distributed throughout the treated surface and are easily removed, without leaving the divorces. When buying, pay attention to the mark on disinfectant properties - they are important if you clean the packaging brought from the street.
4 Remove often, but on a little bit
It doesn't matter what you are busy - work, studying or watching your favorite TV series. Do not forget to put a timer and arrange small five-minute breaks during any activity. At the beginning of the break, look around the space around and highlight one small business that you can perform right now. Carry off the table and wash the mug of coffee, pour the plant or fill the bed. As a result, in the day you will have about twenty such approaches, which will provide cleanliness and order.
This rule has another important plus - it makes you regularly move, which is very important during the multi-day seating in the apartment.
5 Combine pleasant with useful
To feel productive and not to experience a guilt for many hours of film or chatter with video calls, align this leisure with cleaning. Choose monotonous simple work, such as ironing clothes or washing windows, wear a headset or put a laptop in front of you. You will not notice how everyone will be redone, and you will be proud of our unprecedented productivity.
6 Stay at the moment
People are accustomed to the fact that cleaning is something negative, then you need to quickly deal with. Therefore, when you found yourself at home with the whole family and the amount of time that you have to spend on the guidance of order, it raises boredom or irritation. Try in the root to change the approach to this routine: you can enjoy the way the room is transformed when you remove everything in places or from how the kip sacks decreases in the sink, smoothed under the hot iron chairs on the fabric.
7 Update Tools
During the quarantine, shopping and entertainment have made it to the campaign to the grocery store or ordering things to the house. Take advantage of the moment and update everything that usually take order: Fresh bright sponges and microfiber napkins, a new bucket or mop will make cleaning more pleasant. Also, perhaps now is the time to acquire electronic assistants: air purifier or a robot vacuum cleaner.
