Don’t stress about cleaning

In this blog post, we discuss why it is okay not to always prioritise having a perfectly clean home. There are periods in life when cleaning cannot be the highest priority, and that is completely natural! Comparing your home with the perfect pictures on Instagram can create unnecessary cleaning anxiety, but remember that these images often show only a small corner of reality. Everyone has a mess sometimes, and you are not the only one whose home is less than perfect. 

 

 

 

There are periods in life when a perfectly clean home is not Priority No. 1—accept it!

There will be periods in life when the children are no longer little, when you have time to iron everything and clean every corner, I promise!

It is easy to feel cleaning anxiety when you constantly see immaculate homes on Instagram that look more like boutique hotels or furniture catalogues.

But I promise you, that is not the whole truth.

Often, it is only a small corner of the home that looks like that. If the camera had been turned around, there could very well be unfolded laundry and a sea of toys there. Remember that what you see on Instagram is not the whole truth. Everyone has a bit of a mess sometimes; it is not just your home that can be a little untidy.

But surely many of us feel better and more comfortable when things are reasonably neat and tidy and the home is cleaned to some extent.

There are a few simple tips I would like to share. A few tips that make it easier to keep your home tidy a little longer and bring a bit more order.

 

1. Make sure you have effective systems for collecting paper, plastic, and glass. If it is simple and clear where everything should go, there will be less clutter at home and cleaning will also be easier.


2. Do the same with laundry. If there are several people in the family, laundry is truly a “thing” that needs to be dealt with. Make sure everyone knows where dirty and clean, white and colored laundry should go, and everything will be much easier.


3. Always take out the trash. Nothing disrupts the home as much as an overflowing trash bag. Take out the trash to avoid bad odors and items piling up in the kitchen.


4. Last but not least, this is the most demanding but also the best routine. Make it a habit to always empty the dishwasher and keep the kitchen counter clean, and everything else will fall into place.

If you end the day with a clean kitchen counter, an empty trash bag, and an emptied dishwasher, the next day becomes so much easier and your morning routine runs smoothly!

Dusting and window cleaning can wait.
