Let’s face it, being in a cluttered space makes us anxious. Humans can only process so much information from their surroundings. Hence, a messy room has too many visual distractions which can often cause our brains to be overwhelmed and stressed out. With remote working becoming the new norm, it is important for us to declutter our home and make it a conducive space for both working and living. Not sure of what to do? Fret not, we have prepared this ultimate A to Z guide to get you started!
Cleaning is not that difficult, the hardest part is to drag yourself out of the bed and actually get started. More often than not, the thought of having to clean a big space scares us, but it shouldn’t be. In Singapore, most of us live in a housing unit that should only take a day or less to thoroughly declutter and clean the house. Get the vacuum and mops ready, prepare boxes and disinfectants, put them all in the living room the night before, and have a good sleep. Wake up and get started! Get your family members to join you for a great bonding session and speed up the process!
First, get rid of the things you no longer need and/or want. For objects that can’t be reused, pack them neatly into card boxes or rubbish bags and place them at the collection bin centre. For items that can be reused, you can give them to families, friends, and even neighbours who want them. Alternatively, you can also donate them to The Salvation Army and help those who are less fortunate. Once you have gotten rid of all the unwanted items, give yourself a pat on the shoulder, and....the real cleaning begins!
That’s right! Change out those dirty bed sheets, pillowcases, blankets, curtains, sofa covers, etc and 1,2,3 throw them into the washing machine for a ‘shower’. Also, not forgetting about doormats, they deserve a good clean too! Remember to separate your bedsheets, pillowcases, and blankets with the rest for hygienic purposes! While the washing machine is working hard, let’s get to the next step!
Since the decluttering process is completed, your job is much simpler now.
Almost there! After you discard the mopping waters, time to clean the last part of the house...bathroom!
