How to keep your home clean and tidy?
Are you a tidy person? After a busy day, if you come home with a comfortable and tidy environment waiting for you, everyone will definitely feel happy! Here are 10 tips for you to have a clean and tidy home.
1. Make use of the space under the sofa in the living room
Look under the sofa in the living room. If there is still room below, you can use a little creativity to fill all these spaces. You can go to the mall to buy some beautiful ready-made large drawers, or DIY yourself, find some discarded but clean cardboard boxes, and then put wallpaper on the outside that matches the sofa. It is better to use waterproof material, especially if there is tape attached to the wallpaper.
Make a large carton that matches the space under the sofa. The material must be sturdy. If the carton is too large, you can remove part of it first. If it is too small, you can use 2 cartons to put together, tape it, and paste all the wallpaper. This drawer can hold toys, magazines, and sundries for children at home.
2. Hang baskets at the entrance to store small items such as keys and tickets
When you go out, what are the things you often look for everywhere? Kleenex, ticket, change purse, keys... Despite being careful, sometimes in a hurry, you will still forget things, and some things can't be found no matter how you look. To solve this problem completely, you must put these small items in a place that can be seen at a glance.
It is recommended that you hang a basket at the entrance and fix these small items inside. When you want to go out, you will see it, so you will not forget it! Usually there are small basket strings selling 2-3 baskets strung together outside, which can be bought directly and used, which is quite convenient.
3. Set up a hat rack on a wide wall
More and more hats, trying to find a space to collect them is really nerve-racking! Hats take up space and can't be pressed, so where should you put them? Just hang them on the wall! But it should be noted that you can't hang them casually. Hats should be hung on a wide wall to show the artistry of decoration.
4. Use the mesh board to create a small wardrobe in the gap between the furniture and the wall
Many families have gaps between the wardrobe and the wall. Please check the furniture arrangement at home immediately. If there is a gap of more than 20cm, you can make a very good small wardrobe! The method is to nail two hooks at the same height as the wall and the wardrobe, and put the mesh board on these two hooks and the wardrobe. Hang S-shaped hooks on the mesh board, and you can use hangers to hang clothes. You can also put a box upright below and put some sporadic items.
5. Install plastic hanging bags in cramped bathrooms
In a cramped bathroom, the most troublesome thing is that there is no place to put body wash, shampoo, conditioner, sponge and other things. Although there will be some small cabinets for placing bath products in the bathroom, in a cramped space, try not to use such small cabinets that take up too much space. You can buy a few hanging bags and hang them with long poles instead. Plastic cloth is not afraid of moisture and is easy to use. All bathroom products can be put in. Open a few small holes at the bottom of the hanging bag, so there will be no water accumulation!
6. Put plastic bags in empty boxes of washing powder
You can bring your own shopping bags when you go out shopping! Please keep and repurpose the plastic bags at home, and do not throw them randomly, so as not to find them when you use them!
The empty washing powder box is just the right choice for this task. This empty box is sturdy and has a handle and a lid, which is perfect. Just dig an oval outlet like a tissue carton at the bottom of the box, hang the box on the wall, put it in the plastic bag, open the lid and put it from above, and pull it out from the bottom exit when taking the plastic bag.
7. Use the storage rack to make a small table to cook and put things in one stone
The kitchens in the apartments are narrow, and there is always not enough space for the cut lettuce and prepared dishes when cooking. It is recommended that you find a slender board and place it on the storage rack on one side, and on the other side on the flow table or the stove table to make a long table. This way, all kinds of sundries can be placed on the storage rack, and the long table can be used to hold cooked dishes or ingredients.
Before making the long table, please prepare a shelf at the same height as the stove table and a slender board. Insert one end of the board into the gap between the stove and the table, and place the other end on the shelf to fix the shelf so that it will not move. In addition to vegetables, the long table can also hold bottles and jars of seasonings, jams, etc., making it a kitchen with a rustic flavor!
8. Hang the jewelry on the cork board next to the dresser
For working women, morning time is especially precious. In order to avoid rushing to work and maintain their elegance at all times, it is best to complete makeup and changing clothes in one place.
If the wall next to the dresser is empty, you can put the jewelry here, it is easy to take, the chain will not be torn, and it has a display function! First fix a cork board on the wall, nail small nails, and hang the necklace one by one, so that you will not be in a hurry to look for the necklace everywhere in the morning.
9. Classify and collect small sundries in plastic boxes
Many stationery and grocery stores offer inexpensive and convenient plastic boxes in a variety of sizes, styles, and colors. From the perspective of collecting items, these plastic boxes are very useful! Because these plastic boxes are very cheap, you might as well buy 10 or 15, and arrange the same neatly on the cabinet, with the same color and size. You can also sort and collect small sundries, which is really multi-purpose. If you don't think it's beautiful enough, you can wrap it in your favorite floral cloth or other materials, which makes it a textured box for storing valuables!
10. Pack various tickets in zippered document bags
Many stationery stores sell zippered document bags, which come in a variety of styles and sizes. Because of the zipper, the contents of the bag cannot fall out, and the document bag is also quite sturdy, not only for documents, but also for other small items such as invoices, receipts, labels, etc. It can be sorted by different items or sizes, and then placed upright in the box, labeled or list of items, so that you can know at a glance what is inside.
