10 Easy Hacks to Keep Your House Tidied Between Services

After an Allsorts Sorted clean, you want to maintain the shiny, tidied & organised home! However, keeping on top until your next service might be a challenge. It's great to have some simple ways to stay tidied between your weekly, fortnightly or monthly visit. In this blog post, we will share ten easy cleaning and organising hacks that will help you maintain a clutter-free and welcoming home before our staff come back!

1. Adopt the "One In, One Out" Rule:
To prevent clutter from accumulating, implement the "One In, One Out" rule. For every new item you bring into your home, remove an old or unused item. This practice ensures that your belongings stay organised and prevents unnecessary accumulation.

2. Create a Cleaning Schedule:
Developing a cleaning schedule can help you stay your clean last longer. Assign small and specific tasks to each day, making it easier to manage and maintain cleanliness throughout your home.

3. Utilise Storage Containers:
Invest in storage containers to help organise and declutter different areas of your home. Label each container, so you know what is inside, and store them in appropriate locations. This hack not only keeps items easily accessible but also adds a neat and tidy appearance to your living spaces. If a full re-organisation session might help you, read through our services!

4. Implement the "Five-Minute Rule":
The "Five-Minute Rule" is a simple yet effective hack to maintain cleanliness daily. Whenever you notice something that can be done in five minutes or less, do it immediately. This could include wiping down countertops, organising a drawer, or quickly sweeping crumbs under the table. By taking care of small tasks promptly, you prevent them from piling up and becoming overwhelming."

5. Establish a Mail System:
Mail, leaflets, receipts & newsletters can quickly clutter up your home if left unattended. Designate a specific spot for incoming mail, a separate area for bills, and a recycling bin for junk mail. Sort through your mail regularly to avoid paper clutter from accumulating.

6. Use Baskets for Quick Cleanups:
Keep small baskets or bins in various rooms to collect items that are out of place. As you move around the house, quickly collect any misplaced items and place them in the appropriate basket. This hack saves time and allows you to tidy up without having to make multiple trips to different rooms.

7. Declutter Your Digital Space:
In addition to physical clutter, digital clutter can also contribute to a messy home environment. Regularly declutter your computer files, delete unnecessary emails, and organise your digital photos. This will not only free up storage space but also create a more efficient and organised digital environment.

8. Optimise Vertical Storage:
Make the most of your vertical space by utilising wall-mounted shelves, hooks, and racks. These storage solutions are perfect for holding towels, coats, and other frequently used items. By utilising vertical storage, you maximise floor space and reduce clutter. It makes putting things back between services more efficient too!

9. Implement a "Clean as You Go" Approach:
Adopt the habit of cleaning as you go, especially during daily activities like cooking and getting ready. Wipe down countertops immediately after use, put away ingredients and tools as you finish using them, and fold clothes right after taking them out of the dryer. This approach prevents messes from piling up and keeps your home tidier throughout the day.

10. Involve the Whole Family:
Finally, involve your family members in maintaining a clean and organised home. Assign age-appropriate tasks to each family member and establish a routine that everyone can follow. By sharing the responsibilities, you create a sense of ownership and make cleaning and organising a collective effort.
