Another year gone but not forgotten, you’ve welcomed in 2016 in style and now it’s time to reflect on the last twelve months and see where you can improve. When it comes to making sure you live the life you want, it pays to make resolutions that benefit all areas of your life – whether for social, work or home life. We all make resolutions to go to the gym more, to eat less chocolate and to work towards that promotion but with that much stress in your life, why add more? Make a few cleaning resolutions for your home to transform your relationship with your home.
Annual De-Clutter
There is a general consensus that we all hoard things that we think might come in handy in the future, whether it’s magazines, carrier bags, or clothes and shoes that we won’t ever wear again. As a general rule, when trying to declutter, discard anything that you have not used within the last six months, or a year for seasonal items. If it doesn’t get used, it goes. Clean and bag up all your clutter and drop off at a local charity – it feels good to give!
Get Organised
Keeping on top of household chores can be a full time job in itself, but very few people have time for that, especially with work and kids factored in. Making a cleaning schedule for your home is the best way to ensure that cleaning tasks are kept on top of. There will be jobs that need doing daily – like the dishes, and weekly – like mopping the floor. Other jobs, like defrosting the freezer and steaming the curtains need doing much less regularly, but still need doing. Mark on your calendar to do them in a few months’ time and you’ll feel on top of the world at your clean and sparkling house, all year round.
Stock Up
Stay stocked up on the essential cleaning items to ensure that you never have to put off the next cleaning task. Organise your cleaning supplies and add a few items to your shopping to stay on top of things.
Floor cleaner, bleach, glass cleaner, mops and/or mop heads, cloths and sponges, and air freshener are all staple cleaning products for your home!
