Hi! Today, I want to share with you some additional simple tricks to make your house look clean. These tips are perfect for those who want to create a tidy and organized space without spending a lot of time or money. Let's get started!


Tip #1: Use Light Colours


Using light colours on walls, furniture, and accessories can create a bright and airy feeling, making the space feel clean and fresh. Having light-coloured flooring is a lesson I learned as dark floors tend to show dust immediately.Try to stick to neutral colours like white, beige, or light gray for a cohesive and calming look.



Tip #2: Embrace Minimalism


Removing clutter and unnecessary items can make a big difference in the cleanliness of a space. Embrace minimalism and keep only the essentials. Donate or sell items that you no longer use or need, and keep surfaces clean and clutter-free.



Tip #3: Clean the Sink


A clean sink can make a big difference in the overall cleanliness of a bathroom or kitchen. Wipe down the sink and faucet regularly to keep them looking their best. This is a quick and easy task that can make a big impact.

Tip #4: Neatly Fold Clothes and Towels

Neatly folded clothes and towels can create a tidy and organized look in a bedroom or bathroom. Take a few extra minutes to fold your clothes and towels neatly, and place them in designated areas.



Tip #5: Use Shoe Organizers


When shoes are scattered on the floor or entryway, it can make your home look unkempt and disorganized.

Shoe organizers can help keep shoes off the floor and create a more organized look in a closet or entryway. Try using over-the-door shoe organizers or shoe racks to keep your shoes in order.



Tip #6: Make the Bed


A neatly made bed can instantly make a bedroom look cleaner and more put-together. Take the time to make your bed each morning for a fresh and tidy look.

Tip #7: Use Organizers for Small Items

Use small organizers to keep items like remote controls, pens, and other small items in order and off surfaces. This will help create a clutter-free look and make it easier to find what you need.


Keeping children's toys in baskets is an excellent way to keep the playroom area neat and tidy. It's an effective organizational strategy that can help prevent clutter and mess from accumulating. Start by designating a specific area for toys and sorting them by category, such as puzzles, dolls, or building blocks. Then, select baskets or containers that fit well on shelves or under tables and label them accordingly. Encourage your children to help by teaching them how to put their toys away in the appropriate basket after playtime. Not only will this promote a sense of responsibility and independence in your children, but it will also save you time and energy in cleaning up. By implementing this simple solution, you can maintain a tidy playroom and create a safe and inviting space for your children to play in.


Tip #8: Arrange Books by Color


Arranging books by colour can create a sense of order and cohesion on a bookshelf. Try grouping books by colour for a neat and organized look.



Tip #9: Use Trays


Use trays to corral items like toiletries, jewelry, or kitchen gadgets, keeping them organized and off counters and surfaces. This will create a streamlined look and make it easier to find what you need.



Tip #10: Add some greenery


Plants can add life and color to a room, and they can also help purify the air. Choose easy-to-care-for plants like succulents or spider plants and place them in strategic locations around your home.


Although cleaning and tidying our homes can feel like a never-ending task, it is essential to prioritize when short on time, especially when unexpected guests are on their way. When rushing to create a clean and welcoming environment, focusing on the most visible and high-traffic areas can be the most effective strategy.
