Tips for loading and cleaning your dishwasher
August 27, 2019
There is no denying the fact that the list of chores you have to address at home is not a small one. There are plenty of tasks that demand an investment of time and effort. One thing you need to know about any such tasks is the fact that there are daily chores, which you best find the time for. That way you will keep your home in top shape and prevent some nasty problems, such as bacteria accumulation. Here are several of them:
Make your bed
Perhaps that is one chore you hated as a child. Why should you waste time, when you are going to get back in bed later today? Well, for starters, you will keep dust at bay this way. If you don’t pull over a cover and remove your blanket, they will get soiled during the day and disrupt your sleep. One more reason for making up your bed is that you will instantly improve the look of the bedroom. Besides, this is one simple enough task, which gives you that much-needed motivation in the morning, so you should never skip it.
Wash the dishes
Letting the dishes pile up in the sink is one of the worst things you can do. That way, they will accumulate bacteria, especially if there is a lot of food residue left on them. If you lack a dishwasher, you should take a minute to wash the dishes after each meal.
Wipe kitchen countertops
The kitchen is where you prepare and eat your food. The last thing you want is having to work on countertops that are full of germs and bacteria. Sadly, this is often the case, unless you take special care with your countertops. Invest a few minutes daily to wipe them clean by using antibacterial wipes or a specialised cleaning solution. If you’re interested in a detailed guide to cleaning your kitchen, we’ve outlined some tips in another blog.
Put things away
Clutter is a problem for many homes, especially when you don’t put things away. It won’t be long before clutter takes over, and various items create complete chaos around your rooms. Regardless of what it is, make it a habit to put everything away once you are done with it. Teach your children to do this with their toys, as often times they are a major culprit for chaos. An organised home is good for your wellbeing.
File your papers
The paper is a major contributor to clutter around your home. Whether it is mail, important documents or newspapers, you will do well to file the things you need with a system that makes the most sense to you. Throw away everything you don’t need and keep around the important paperwork. A filing system works best.
Do the laundry if needed
It is understandable if you don’t need to do the laundry every single day when you live on your own. However, if you have children, it is more likely that you will need to run a load daily. Make sure to separate the laundry so that you don’t get whites and coloured clothes in one place.
Remove a mess from the floor
Sometimes your children walk on the carpet with muddy shoes, or you have an accident with a glass of coffee. Regardless of the cause, you will do well to stay on top of messes on the floor. After all, if you don’t take the time to contain them, they will easily spread to other rooms, which is not something you want.
Now that you know of these cleaning chores you have to address daily, you can better incorporate them into your cleaning routine.
