At Crystal Cleaning, we understand that most of our customers and potential customers lead busy lives! Therefore, we have come up with ways to help you maintain your house from sunrise to sunset. For instance, in last week’s post, we went over tidying tips for the kitchen. This week we are focusing on the living room and the entryway and how to keep them tidy.
Do yourself a favor and adopt these smart daily house cleaning tips, so you never have to spend your precious weekend tidying up the house.
How to Keep the Living Room Tidy in the Morning
When you wake in the morning, gather clutter. Put a basket in the living room as a “catch-all container” to alleviate clutter. Once a day, do a quick walk-through of each space in the living room. Take the time to put items in your basket and leave it by the door. Put each item back in its place first thing when you get home. If you have children, this is an excellent habit for them to form in their bedrooms!
Before Bed, Complete the Following in the Living Room
Wipe down your coffee table and side tables during commercial breaks. While watching your favorite show, take a moment to keep all tabletops clean and tidy during the inevitable commercial break.
Fluff your pillows after each time you use them. Get into the habit of fluffing your pillows when you turn the TV off. Since most of us don’t leave our TVs turned on all night, it is wise to have the same mindset about our cushions. Therefore, why would you leave your pillows deflated?
Last but not Least: Don’t forget about the Entryway
When you know where your essential items are in the morning, your day will go a lot smoother. Therefore, keep your bag, keys, and coat in the same spot. Overall, make it easy to get out the door in the morning by having everything you need to organize in the same place.
Another good habit for the morning is taking out the trash and recycling when you leave the house. You can alternate days between the two, but getting into this habit will prevent you from having garbage pile up at home.
And in the Evening: Some Entryway Tiddying Tips
Keep a mail sorter in the entryway. Drop the mail in it when you get home, and empty your tray once a week when paying bills. Unless you’re waiting for something urgent, most mail can wait a few days. That way, you’ll keep everything in one spot and address it in bulk. Store paperwork immediately—or even better: Go paperless and scan everything.
