Reducing the number of things you have in your house is the first step to fighting clutter on a daily basis.
Wash dishes on a schedule: Make washing dishes a routine. Keeping the sink clear of dishes promotes health for you and your family, ensures you always have clean dishes, and makes your kitchen that much cleaner.
If you wait to wash dishes, you might end up with a huge stack that seems impossible to move through and might be discouraging. Instead, make a plan to wash dishes after dinner or before you go to bed. Schedule a time to load the dishwasher every day; your kitchen will appreciate it!
Don’t pile on the mail: Coming in from work or a day out, it’s easy to just toss mail into a pile. Unfortunately, this stack builds up quickly, and soon you have a mountain of envelopes and advertisements.
Take a second when you bring the mail in to throw junk mail away and put away bills and other important mail. Just a few moments will tremendously cut down on the paper clutter in your home.
Tidy before going to bed: Take fifteen or twenty minutes right before you go to bed to throw away trash, put dirty dishes in the sink or dishwasher, and pick up toys or other misplaced items. Waking up to a clean house is worth the extra effort!
Don’t hesitate to get some help: Sometimes clutter can feel completely overwhelming. Don’t get discouraged—if you have a clutter problem or a clean house problem, there are wonderful maid services available to help you get caught up.
Every day clean is all about taking small steps to maintain a tidy house. Every time you walk into your home and it’s clutter-free, you will be glad you took the time to keep it straight.
