How to keep your house clean and organized?

Tip # 1: Put everything away after use

This tip might seem too obvious for you, but failing to put away your belongings after using it is the main culprit for your untidy room. As you move from one room to another, quickly scan the place whether you could take anything with you or not. Make sure that after coming home you keep your shoes at its proper place along with other belongings. You know it is easy leaving your pair of shoes near the front door, a few shirts on your bed, and some unclean dishes in the sink until tomorrow. Remember one thing there is no tomorrow so make sure you clean everything before you go to bed. Most of you have a habit of leaving things for tomorrow which leads to an untidy place and turns into an untidy mess.

If you are lacking space, consider some ideas such as wall mounted floating shelves where you can corral your smaller belongings with decorative baskets. Remember it will take you only a few minutes to keep your belongings in their place rather than frantically running around looking for them when you need them next time.

Tip # 2: Clean one room at the time

Trying to manage too many things at the same time can lead to a bigger mess. So, the easiest way to keep your room clean is to tackle one room at a time. Split your work while cleaning your room.

Bathroom

From toothpaste dribbles and mirror strains to wet floors and shower grime, the bathroom will endure various types of messes throughout the week as it is used all the time.

Areas to focus on:

Clean the sink weekly or alternative days
Scrub the shower, tub and toilet
Remove mirror spots weekly
Mop the floor daily before going to bed
Do not keep your toiletries scattered all over the bathroom instead keep them organized on wall mounted corner shelf

Bedroom

The key to keeping your bedroom clean and organized is all about storage. If you do not have enough space then invest in storage containers or baskets that can fit under your bed.
