New Year – Clean Home: Tips for a Fresh Start

We welcome 2025 with enthusiasm and set new goals for cleanliness and order in our home. A tidy and clean house helps with clear thinking and creates an environment that promotes peace, tranquility, concentration, and a better mood. To maintain this throughout the year, we need to identify our goals and determine exactly how to achieve them. Below is a short guide with tips for better results and efficient use of resources and time:

• First, create a cleaning plan that clarifies which tasks need to be done based on the season, month, week, and, of course, the day. If you find that some tasks are difficult to categorize or are particularly time-consuming and exhausting, break them down into smaller parts to ensure completion.
• Set priorities. Focus on urgent tasks and the rooms that require frequent cleaning. Start with those first, then divide the remaining tasks according to necessity and available time.
• Do a thorough decluttering. Identify what you need and donate any excess items to friends or a charitable organization. If you have seasonal items, store them for next year. For anything that no longer serves a purpose, simply discard it to make room for something new.
• Set aside specific days to focus on tasks that are often neglected, such as cleaning under the couch, the top of kitchen cabinets, curtain rods, etc.
• Find storage solutions or invest in new boxes and organizing tools. Reorganize your space to create more storage or place items in hidden spots, such as under the bed. Categorizing your belongings will make them easier to locate and access.
• Use the right cleaning products. Focus on surfaces by selecting all-purpose cleaners that offer effective cleaning without harming human health. For floors, use products that clean and disinfect deeply.
• Finally, create a maintenance plan. Dedicate a little time each day for quick tidying and refreshing your home.

By following these steps, you can maintain a clean and organized household with minimal effort and fewer unexpected challenges.
