Cleaning is one of the household cores that almost everyone hates! It is stressful, exhausting, and above all time-consuming. Luckily, there are many useful cleaning systems that can help you save a ton of time and make the cleaning process less painful!
Some good tidying and cleaning methods are ‘’lazy’’ cleaning, ‘’destroying evidence’’, ‘’fire method’’, and the list is way too long!
However, choosing the right one may be confusing, especially that there are hundreds of methods out there on YouTube that teach you how to clean your house like a pro and in no time. Still, should you not worry as we are here to help you!
Japanese Method
This amazing method is created by Marie Kondo whose main slogan is ‘’tidy your space and transform your life’’. According to Kondo no matter how ugly your house looks, you can transform it into a piece of heaven and create a comfortable and cozy atmosphere. And to do so, you just need to carefully follow these steps :
– Never ever start cleaning your space before you actually throw away all the things that no longer serve you. The ritual of getting rid of useless stuff is an important thing that you need to be doing each and every 2 months.
– It’s important to learn how to stop holding on to stuff. This means you should try to estimate everything you have in terms of the comfort they give you.
For instance, no need to keep all the things that are hidden in the corner of your wardrobe ‘’just in case you need them’’. Keeping the stuff you might need is never a wise idea. It is either you need them or you don’t.
– Some people might even measure memories with things, which is one of the biggest mistakes. Your memories won’t disappear if you throw away an old plate or something you don’t need anymore.
Dare to throw the old things that you no longer need like the old dress you have bought for your prom night, tickets to the concert of your most loved singer, and so on and so forth.
– Learn to sort things according to the category and not the room.
– Avoid making your drawers too full.
– Put things in order and in a way you can see them. For instance, in case it’s a cabinet, make sure you put the stuff in vertically.
– Create a space ‘’ place of power’’ in your house where you can enjoy being surrounded by the things you love.
