When most people think about cleaning their whole house, they immediately feel devastated or exhausted - that's because the task is too huge.
Meanwhile, you can clean your whole house gradually - just divide a huge task into smaller parts.
Here are a few tips on how to do that.
Start by making a list of all the areas in your house that need cleaning. Divide them into smaller tasks, like "clean the kitchen" or "tidy the living room."
Decide how often you'll tackle these tasks. For example, you might clean one room each day or dedicate a few hours every weekend.
Begin with one task from your list. Don't try to clean the entire house at once. Start with something manageable, like cleaning the bathroom.
When you start cleaning a room, focus on one area at a time. For instance, clean the bathroom sink and countertop before moving to the shower.
As you clean, declutter by putting away items that are out of place or getting rid of things you no longer need.
After tidying up, dust surfaces like shelves and tables. Then, vacuum or sweep the floors.
Use a damp cloth to wipe down surfaces like countertops, tables, and appliances.
If needed, mop the floors in the room you're cleaning.
Stick to your cleaning schedule. Gradually, you'll make progress throughout the house.
After completing a task, give yourself a small reward, like a treat or a break.
You don't have to do everything at once - just concentrate on smaller aspects and move your focus slowly, until everything is done!
