5 common mistakes that are made when cleaning a small apartment
Owners of small apartments do not understand why, despite all their efforts during cleaning, there is still a mess in the room. Let's try to figure out what the most common mistakes are made during cleaning, and how they can be avoided.
You do the cleaning once a week
A small room is “cluttered” much faster than a large one, or rather things that are not in their places are more striking. To avoid this, you need to stop doing weekly spring cleaning, and it is better to devote 30-40 minutes every day to clean up the rooms.
You do not have a well-designed storage system
In a small room it is worthwhile to carefully approach the issue of storage of things. Therefore, try to use every free shelf in order to create order. Please note that storage systems must be closed, as open shelves and shelves will create the illusion of disorder even if everything is neatly folded on the shelves themselves.
You do not break cleaning into stages
It seems that cleaning up a small apartment will take a maximum of an hour. But as practice shows, the cleaning time does not depend on the size of the room, but on the complexity of the work: for example, washing the floor in the entire apartment and cleaning the microwave oven from old pollution will take about the same amount of time.
Therefore, in order to cope with cleaning faster, divide the entire process into stages - first we wipe off the dust, then we wipe all the glasses, then wash my plumbing. You can also clean up the rooms - first in the hall, then in the bathroom and so on.
You do not clean in tight places
Few people think about cleaning when furniture is being arranged, but only then they realize that, for example, if the cabinet did not stand so close to the wall, it would be much easier to wash the floor under it. The issue of cleaning inaccessible places concerns not only cleanliness, but also health.
Therefore, at least a couple of times a month, wash the floor under the bed with a long handle mop, or if you can afford it, buy yourself a robot vacuum cleaner.
You do wet cleaning at the beginning
If you first wash the floor, and then wipe the furniture, then the dust from the latter, settling on the floor, will nullify the results of your labors. In order not to clean again, first do a dry cleaning - vacuum up, wipe off the dust, put all the things in their places, and only after that start cleaning the floors.
To maintain order and cleanliness in the apartment, regularly clean and arrange ventilation. It is also important to maintain a normal level of humidity in the room.
