26 simple things that will take no more than 30 seconds and make the house much cleaner

1. Empty the trash can in the bathroom. We often forget about it until there is no room left in it at all. So take out the trash right now.

2. Replace or clean the dust container in the vacuum cleaner. An overfilled bag or container wears out the instrument much faster. Don't forget to clean it regularly.

3. Wipe the mirror. To do this, you can take vinegar and a newspaper. Vinegar will help to avoid streaks, and the newspaper will not leave lint, unlike a regular rag or towel.

4. Wipe the outside of any kitchen appliance. For example, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator or any other.

5. Change towels in the bathroom or kitchen. This way you not only keep clean, but also prevent the spread of bacteria.

6. Clear ventilation. It always accumulates a huge amount of dust, which we then breathe. Try to clean the ventilation grilles in all rooms where they are often.

7. Change watch batteries. Of course, this is a trifle, but only until you need to know the exact time. Therefore, it is better to check the batteries in advance.

8. Wipe the TV screen. It almost never hurts. Go over it with a dry cloth or a used laundry towel to keep dust off the screen and keep it clean longer.

9. Pour baking soda into the trash can. It will prevent the appearance of an unpleasant odor. For the same purpose, you can leave a small amount of soda in the refrigerator. The main thing is to change it regularly.

10. Throw away unnecessary letters, catalogs and magazines. They take up extra space on your coffee table and don't do any good.

11. Delete spots. Wherever they are, it will take quite a bit of time, and the house will become much cleaner and more pleasant.

12. Water the plants. And dust off the leaves.

13. Wipe down countertops. You can use special disinfectant wipes that destroy bacteria.

14. Wipe areas and objects that everyone usually forgets about. For example, doorknobs, hangers, TV remote control, landline phone or electrical panel.

15. Place at the entrance. Most of the dirt that accumulates on the floor and on the carpets in the hallway is brought by ourselves and our guests. Its amount can be slightly reduced if you regularly sweep the path near the house or the stairwell next to the apartment.

16. Tidy up the fridge. 30 seconds, of course, is not enough to thoroughly clean the shelves, but enough to pull out sour milk or throw out something wrapped in foil hiding in the far corner.

17. Clean up the car. Throw trash out of the glove box or cup holder. Cleanliness inside the car is just as important as the outside.

18. Get rid of extra containers. There are probably more than you need. Make room and throw away the ones you never use.

19. Dismantle the first aid kit. Get rid of empty bottles and expired medicines. This will reduce the risk of accidental poisoning.

20. Eliminate blockages. Soda, vinegar and hot water will help with this. First, pour half of the package into the sink drain soda, then pour 100-150 ml of warm vinegar there. From the interaction of the ingredients, foam will begin to form. To prevent it from coming out, cover the drain hole with a rag. All this will take about half a minute. Go about your business, and after half an hour, remove the rag and pour boiling water into the hole.

21. Knock out the rugs at the front door. This will help prevent excess dirt and debris from entering the apartment. It is better to keep two rugs at once - inside and outside.

22. Tidy up a small area. For example, throw the garbage out of the drawer with all the small things or sweep in one room. Perhaps when you clean one corner of the house, it will inspire you to do a full cleaning.

23. Wipe blinds. For this, a microfiber cloth or the same used laundry towels are suitable.

24. Parse documents. Throw out the ones you don't need and organize the rest into files.

25. Vacuum the tops of doors and windows. Dust and dirt accumulate there, which is important to clean regularly, which many do not even think about.

26. To make a plan. If you can't clean right now, make a list of everything you need to do later. As soon as the time appears, you will already have before your eyes plan actions.
