1. Dry wet areas immediately

Water stains accumulate over time and become very dirty. There's no other good way than to wipe up water stains on countertops, floors, and wall corners in the kitchen and bathroom immediately after use. Cleaning immediately is very convenient. Don't wait until they accumulate before cleaning; that will be troublesome.

2. Tidy bedding after getting up

After getting up in the morning, we can first shake out the bedding and then go wash up, airing out the sweat and odor accumulated overnight. But after getting ready, be sure to fold the quilt and smooth the mattress.

Many people think that since they will cover themselves with it at night, there is no need to fold the quilt. But in fact, this is a matter of mentality. Seeing a tidy bed every day makes you subconsciously want to maintain it, rather than letting it become messy. This mentality will have a positive effect on the tidiness and cleaning of the whole house.

3. Don't neglect the bottom of furniture

Although the dirt and fluff under the furniture are invisible, it is still recommended to wipe them casually every time you sweep and mop the floor. On the one hand, it can prevent dirt from being blown to the surface by the wind. On the other hand, it doesn't take much effort. Cleaning it immediately is always easier than doing a major cleaning after it accumulates to a certain extent.

4. Keep decorations minimalist

For ordinary families, neither storage nor decoration should be excessive, but rather should be kept minimalist.

Simple white walls, tiles, and wooden floors will look clean and tidy. This cleanliness and tidiness will extend to the entire home space, making people feel comfortable instead of cluttered and messy.

5. Keep countertops clear of clutter

Coffee tables, dining tables, and TV cabinets are the main sources of clutter in most Chinese homes.

Take the TV cabinet as an example. If the set-top box, router, etc., can be placed in the TV cabinet compartment instead of on the countertop, the cleanliness of the living room will be significantly improved.

The same applies to other desktops and cabinets. It is best not to put too many miscellaneous items on them; a little decoration is enough (and it must be easy to clean). Miscellaneous small items should be stored in hidden cabinets and drawers.
