5 Simple Cleaning and Organizing Hacks for a Tidy Home

Some of my favourite cleaning and organizing hacks that will really make a difference in your home! By making a few small changes, you can save time and maintain a more organized space. Here are some top five tips:

 

1. Kitchen Clutter Control

To keep your kitchen looking tidy and make cleaning easier, only keep the appliances you use regularly on the countertop. This simple step can transform the workspace and reduce clutter.

 

2. Regularly deep Clean Your Sponges

Consider tossing your sponges in the washing machine or dishwasher for a thorough clean. Afterward, let them dry on the line or in the sun if possible; the sunlight helps kill bacteria!

 

3. Kettle Care

If you notice calcium buildup in your kettle, try this neat trick: fill it halfway with water and add some lemon juice. Boil it twice, then let it soak for about half an hour (or overnight for the best results). Your kettle will be as good as new!

 

4. Microwave Magic

Cleaning the microwave doesn't have to be a chore. Fill a cup with water, place it in the microwave, and run it for five minutes. The steam will loosen any food particles, making it easy to wipe clean right afterward.

 

5. Involve the Kids

Cleaning can be a great family activity! Get the kids involved in tidying up—they might surprise you with how much they enjoy it.
