An Extra Hour Every Day

A few very simple habits can significantly contribute to a clean home. The basic philosophy of these habit is: Do it now. Whenever you are in one of these situations, remind yourself the “Do it NOW” and it will slowly become a real habit.

1) Coming home from a trip:

Unpack your bags immediately. Put the clean stuff in your storage and put the dirty stuff directly into the washing machine.

2) Coming home from sports:

Unpack your bag, put your clothes directly into the washing machine and clean the equipment or accessories.

3) Washing:

After the washing machine finished directly put your clothes into the dryer or on the clothesline. Otherwise they get a bad smell and you have to wash them again.

4) Cleaning your shoes:

Clean your shoes when arriving home. Otherwise you might want to leave and realize that your shoes need a brush, you might not have the time to do this.

5) Undressing:

Put the clean things directly on a hanger and put the dirty things into the basket.

6) Mobile devices:

When arriving home directly connect mobile devices to their chargers, so that you never run out of battery just because you forgot it.

7) When cooking:

During cooking directly throw away the waste and keep cleaning the kitchen in between. You then do not have to clean a huge mess after you finished eating.

After eating:

Directly clean up yourself and wash everything directly or put it into the dishwasher.

9) Receiving mail:

When you open envelopes and boxes directly throw them away so that they are around for days or weeks. If you have to file something you better also do it immediately.

10) Getting up:

Make the bed just after you got up.

11) Tools:

After using gardening or other tools tidy them. This also increases safety in your household.
