Before embarking on a decisive fight against the accumulated junk, trash and clutter in your home, introduce a few new rules:

1) Incoming area

In the hallway, highlight a corner for everything that you bring to the house from the store, from the pantry, from the garage, or just after the next trip to the supermarket for groceries, clothes and other vital things. This corner should be small so that things could not accumulate there, but would regularly be laid out in their places (from refrigerators to cabinets and shelves).

2) Start washing dishes immediately after eating

Mountains of unwashed dishes will not accumulate near your sink and turn into a threat to order in your kitchen. Yes, for this you will need to overcome your laziness and devote 10-15 minutes after breakfast, lunch or dinner. But after a week or two of such a routine, you suddenly find that the kitchen no longer has obscure clusters of unwashed pots, plates, pans, spoons and cups. If you can’t do it manually, start at least a small dishwasher: this investment will pay off with interest.

3) Do not turn the wash into an event of the week

Accumulating a pile of uncleaned items, towels and shirts in the bathroom is not a good idea. Do the washing along the way, so that a small amount of dirty things regularly leave your washing basket.

4) Music and whistling - the key to a good mood

You can sing it yourself, whistle under your breath or turn on the music while you are cleaning the house. Music sets the rhythm and perfectly motivates. If you don’t know what kind of music to take, these are great soundtrack options.

5) Use a timer

Further, we will talk about how to clean and organize your home, spending no more than 20 minutes a day to complete 1 task daily. In a month your house will change - but without a timer and control over the time spent, you will not be able to maintain the chosen pace. So use any timer with a signal: from your alarm clock to a timer on your mobile phone.

Moving on to the 30-day 20 minutes a day plan

Each number on this list is a separate day. 30 days, 20 minutes a day - and your apartment or private house will turn into clean and tidy. Here's what you have to do:

1. We clean the living room and kitchen from dust (we wipe the tables, shelves, cabinets, vacuum the floor or carpet, sweep)
2. We clean the bathroom and toilet (wash sinks, toilets, mirrors, bathroom or shower, wipe the floor and walls)
3. We clean the bedroom (put everything in place, put children's toys in drawers, hang clothes in place, wipe the dust)
4. We clean the rest of the rooms (utility room, study, nursery - if any)
5. We wipe the tables and all surfaces in the living room and kitchen
6. Remove
7. We wash all the windows in the apartment or house (do not forget about newspapers and vinegar for glasses - cheap, cheerful, fast and efficient, and no harsh chemistry)
8. We sweep all floors in the house (if there is a staircase in a private house - do not forget about it)
9. Wipe the dust in the bedroom
10. We arrange cleaning in the living room (mirrors, surfaces, dusting figurines, paintings or souvenirs on the shelves)
11. We clean the bathroom and toilet
12. We put express order in the cabinets (hang things in the cabinets, put the accessories on the shelves, fold the clothes in their places)
13. Wipe the dust in the rest of the rooms
14. Thoroughly clean the bedroom (cushions in place, wipe the dust under the sofa or bed, overcame the beds, wipe the dust on figurines and souvenirs, lamps and fans, sweep, put things in place)
15. Wipe the dust in the living room and kitchen
16. Carefully clean the bathroom and toilet (and trash cans, wipe the mirrors, wipe the dust, put things in place)
17. We wipe all the door handles, telephones and mobile phones, remotes, switches, railings and all things, objects and objects that we constantly take with our hands.
18. Defrost, wash and wipe the refrigerator, throw out all stale food and medicine, put everything else in place
19. We clean the hallway, sweep the porch (if there is one), put things in order in the car
20. We wipe the dust in the bathroom and wash the surfaces
21. Wipe the dust in the bedroom
22. Sweeping and vacuuming all floors in the rooms
23. We clean the cabinets
24. We wipe the dust in the living room and kitchen
25. Thoroughly clean the kitchen (washing, wiping, throwing out trash, putting new napkins, towels, garbage bags)
26. Wipe all surfaces in the bathroom and toilet
27. Wipe in the bedroom
28. Wipe thoroughly, wash and clean something that you did not have enough time for the previous 28 days
29. Sweeping and vacuuming floors in the house

Honestly, some of these tasks will take you 20 minutes only if you call yourself a couple of helpers from among your relatives, friends or relatives.

Repeat this pattern of thorough 30-day cleaning can be every couple of months or once a quarter. The frequency and intensity of cleaning depends on the size of your house / apartment and how much everything is started in the house :)

In addition to following the timetable and the presented list of actions, it is also important to just put things in place, develop the habit of not littering and scattering things around the house.

Purely not only where they clean, but also where they do not litter (or at least try not to litter).

At first it will not be easy, but in a month or two it will really take you no more than 20 minutes a day to ensure that the house is clean, tidy and in order.

As a child, I loved cleaning floors in the kitchen - it was so much fun! All that was needed was to pour a bucket of water on the floor and push it with a rag back and forth until it got tired. Then I saw the Tom and Jerry series, where they wash the floor, brushing, and began to intensely try to portray something similar. In general, when angry neighbors rang at our door and the ceiling leaked - it was a revelation to me. So I learned that it is necessary to wash the floors in a slightly different way, and indeed, it turns out that this is a very boring and monotonous activity ...

But you still need to wash them, and in our article today we will tell you how to clean the kitchen floor to a shine with a minimum of losses - both financial and moral.

Before you go to water procedures, the floor should be swapped. Oddly enough, they still haven’t come up with a better broom for this purpose: quickly, simply and easily to get to all secluded corners of the kitchen. The broom should be slightly moistened with water so as not to raise dust from the floor. Of course, you can buy a more elegant broom, however, it is likely that you will slightly mark the center of the kitchen, and then you will still crawl in the corners with a broom. Well, if you just really like to stand and wave a broom, imagining yourself Cinderella - then, of course, it is worth buying it. After easy cleaning, you can proceed to the direct washing of the floor, armed with the necessary equipment. Which ones - it depends on the flooring in your kitchen.

  1. Linoleum

It is one of the most popular and most unpretentious floor coverings. If you regularly clean floors, there should be no problems with old spots. For washing linoleum, ordinary water with a soapy solution and a soft cloth will suffice. Just do not use hot water: it is undoubtedly more pleasant to wash it, but from it a similar coating can go cracked. Also, make sure that the water does not fall under the cover itself - from this it will swell and your kitchen will turn into an impromptu mountain range. Once a month, the linoleum coating can be rubbed with a flannel cloth in order to give it an extra shine. To do this, you can use special "shaggy" slippers-rags.

Yes Yes. At least somehow you can realize the fun of your childhood.

  2. Laminate and parquet

Laminate and parquet are much more whimsical to care for, so they need not be washed, but just wiped with a damp cloth. Since it is difficult to understand when a wet rag is wet and when it is no longer difficult, a special mop with a soft nozzle is used to clean such floors.

With detergents, you should also be very careful, the laminate and parquet do not tolerate any external aggression, so only mild cleaners, and in the case of parquet it is generally better to do with glycerin liquid soap. Both coatings can also be rubbed to a shine, driving around them in fluffy slippers for cleaning, however, mastic should also be used.

  3. Tiles and tiles

Such coatings are not afraid of excess moisture, so here you can finally splash around. Just do not forget about my sad story told at the beginning of the article, so even here pour water in moderation. A good solution would be a rope mop - it will easily fall into the most inaccessible corners, and will also absorb excess water.

However, if you have light tiles in the kitchen ... I congratulate you, I have the same. Her pleasant beige and peach color warms her with one look, but washing her is a torment. The point is not that all spots are visible on it, but that they do not disappear even after thorough, furious washing with all the available devices. No, the floor, of course, becomes cleaner, but ... perfectionists will obviously be unhappy. Therefore, if you have light tiles in the kitchen, wash it as often as possible and best of all with products that do not leave stains. If you constantly cook and stains on the tile are inevitable, wash it with a rag or brush, not a mop: otherwise you will have to rub it very, very long. And best of all, initially choose a darker tile for the kitchen floor.

The process of mopping should begin in the farthest corner of the kitchen, from where you will gradually move to the door. It is better to wash also starting from the corners to the middle: so you will not stomp along the already washed part. Do not spare yourself during cleaning, rub it properly! After all, mopping is a great exercise, so you will simultaneously kill two birds with one stone.
