If you do THAT, you'll never have to clean up again at the weekend

Behind a clean and tidy home is actually no big secret. Above all, it takes a bit of discipline and care to avoid chaos at home. To make things a little faster and keep the cleanliness and order a bit longer, we've put together five simple tricks for you to write on your daily to-do list.

These tricks relate to places in your home that are particularly fond of messing around, but also catch the eye. Anyone who manages to master these five daily tasks will always be pleased with more order and cleanliness and have an altogether tidier impression of his apartment.

1. Sort the mail

Also in 2016 we still get tons of mail. Most of it should be advertising that we do not really want. Or in the case of catalogs usually put aside and forget. And then there's the really important post (bills, tax documents, etc.) that we need and keep. The trick: sort the mail when it arrives. In no case, everything, somewhere, for later? to pack in a pile. Because then the important things are lost, and the pile is getting bigger, until it becomes a burden. First, the unwanted advertising lands in the trash, all other envelopes are opened immediately. All the things you can do right away (reading the meter, for example) are done right away. The rest is placed on a? Important? Pile until it is processed. Important documents are then properly filed in a folder (e.g., for tax).

2. Do the dishes

Nothing annoys at home as much as washing dishes. He is not so dramatic if you do not postpone him. There is a saying that you should not go to bed in a fight. We add: Do not go to sleep with a full sink. Because the waiting for the next day and messed up one morning. If you have a dishwasher, you will have it in the evening. Bonus: dishes are easier to wash when all the dirt has not dried.

3. Clean sink and worktop

A kitchen should always be kept clean. Then ants, fruit flies and other nasty troublemakers have no attack surface. That's why it pays to keep the sink and worktop clean. Since these areas are usually used daily, this task should also be on the daily to-do list. And who washes dishes (see point 2) immediately and does not complete the work surfaces with mail, catalogs and other stuff (see point 1), should be finished relatively quickly with point 3.

4. Put your shoes down properly

When we get home, sometimes we just wanted to throw jacket and shoes in the corner. Unfortunately, that looks pretty chaos pretty soon. Fixed places for jackets and shoes help to avoid the chaos. If we put jackets and shoes properly and keep only the shoes and jackets in the wardrobe, which we also use regularly, it looks really neat in the hallway.

5. Finding a permanent place for everything

In order not to create chaos, you get used to the "30-second rule". It says we should get everything we can put in place within 30 seconds straight away. Thus, here and there no mountains accumulate at Kram.
