Cleaning as a way to better well-being: 5 tips on how to do it

Start small

Instead of trying to clean your entire apartment at once, break tasks into smaller chunks. Tackle one room or a specific task (e.g. wash the dishes) and dedicate 15-20 minutes to it.

Minimize things

Less stuff means less clutter. Go through closets and get rid of things you no longer need. Use the "simple three questions" method. Do I need it? Do I have room for it?

Natural cleaning products

To avoid chemicals, reach for natural cleaners such as vinegar, baking soda or lemon. They are effective, eco-friendly and kind to your home.

Cleaning as a routine

Create a regular cleaning routine. A small daily cleaning (e.g. dusting, sweeping) will prevent the build-up of clutter and save time for a bigger clean.

Organise the space

Use storage baskets and organisers to keep things in their place. This system will keep your home tidy and make daily maintenance easier.

Cleaning doesn't have to be stressful. When you find your method, you'll find that it can even be a pleasant part of everyday life.
