What household habits are better to get rid of "on the vine"? 6 examples and how to solve them

Was it like that? You come to visit a friend, you see that the apartment seems to be small, but there is no order in it. What do you think, what could be the reason? That's right, in everyday habits that many of us like to repeat from day to day. However, some of them are extremely unhealthy and even harmful! And, alas, there are a lot of them. So they lead to such a mess in the house.

Good afternoon dear friends!

And what should such people do to put things in order not only in the apartment, but also in the head? Just develop new, healthier habits, although it will take a lot of time! But soon they will see that things in the closets and pantry are more neat than before. That they began to throw away spoiled food less often, and the result of the most minimal cleaning became much more noticeable, etc.

In general, I will not rant for a long time, but I will tell you about actions that do not add neatness to any house, and ways to solve them.

1.Storing clothes horizontally, not vertically. A stack on a stack - so it is convenient to fold things after washing and ironing. But keeping them in this form on a shelf or in a drawer is still not worth it. For when stored horizontally, clothes are crumpled under the weight of other things. And as soon as you need to pull out one item from the middle, the tidiness of the entire stack will be broken, and it will turn into a sort of heap.

Therefore, it is more correct to turn the neatly folded stack 90 ° and place things vertically. It is so convenient to store home clothes, jeans, sweaters, towels and bed linen. When you open a cabinet or drawer, each item will immediately be in front of your eyes.

2.Apartment cleaning without sorting. The abundance of things is another big problem. On the mezzanines, in closets, in drawers or in the closet, there is always extra clothes, accessories or household items that we no longer need or have never used at all. So during the next general cleaning, having found such things, hold them in your hands for a minute. And after that, if you haven’t figured out where to use them right now (in the near future), or you simply don’t like them, then it’s time to part with them. Try it - you'll love it!

And only after getting rid of all unnecessary things, you can divide things into categories and determine for each of them its own ideal storage place.

3.Putting things in order here and there. It is extremely ineffective to do spot cleaning or only in one room. Clutter will simply move from one corner to another. As a result, you will not see the overall “picture” and will not be able to rejoice at your efforts.

Therefore, it is more correct to periodically (at least once a month or a couple of months) do a large general cleaning, and then maintain it weekly. And then your apartment will look much cleaner and tidier.

4.Playing Tetris while unfolding clothes. As practice shows, a lot of things are placed in the closet, but not all of them can then be quickly found. So, in order not to waste your time in vain, you can divide clothes by type or purpose (for example, festive, everyday, office, home). Easily wrinkled trousers and shirts are best hung on hangers, items made of soft stretchable fabrics are placed on shelves, etc. Something like this!

By the way, do not forget to set aside a shelf for used items, such as jeans, for example. After all, if you have put them on at least once, then you should not put them back to clean things.

5.Store seasonal items without pre-washing. For many of us, the change of season happens suddenly. The day before, there was winter and severe frost, and this morning the snowdrifts have already disappeared and the temperature has risen to +15. And what are we doing? We climb into the closet and take out a light jacket, a demi-season coat... And things are dirty, faded and worn out. Not passed, so to speak, seasonal MOT!

And this is not very good, since they are capable of losing their presentation over time. Therefore, to prevent this from happening ahead of time, I recommend washing all garments before long-term storage, getting rid of stains and packing them carefully. If washing is contraindicated for things, then you can take them to dry cleaning.

6.Inattention to food. Have you ever "found" missing jam or canned food on the far shelf of the refrigerator, which expired a long time ago? Yes! Then I strongly recommend placing products as on the shelves in a store - bought earlier in front, fresher in the back. So nothing is hidden in your bins.

Once again! It is useful to make stocks only if you remember what is stored and where. Otherwise it's a waste of money!
