How to Maintain a Clean and Cozy Home: A Daily Cleaning Routine
Are you struggling to maintain a home that feels calm and uncluttered? By establishing simple habits, you can keep your home clean, healthy, and comfortable with minimal effort. However, you don't always know where to begin, but there is help out there! Kristine Yu is all about the importance of having a daily cleaning routine, even for busy individuals. Check out her low-key routine that is guaranteed to make you AND your home feel calmer.
Morning Routine:
Air Out Your Bed: Instead of making the bed right away, Kristine suggests unmaking it to let your sheets air out for at least 30 minutes. This prevents the growth of dust mites and mold.
Dish Duty: After brushing her teeth and skincare, Kristine heads to the kitchen to put away dishes from the previous night, enjoying a podcast or music to make the task enjoyable.
10-Minute Tidy: A quick scan around the home helps put things back in their place. This routine prevents clutter from accumulating.
Evening Routine:
Put the Kitchen to Bed: Kristine prioritizes running the dishwasher at night, rinsing dishes immediately, and cleaning her sink to maintain a clean kitchen.
Surface Wipe-Down: She wipes down key surfaces like countertops and stovetops, using a simple homemade cleaner of distilled vinegar, water, and essential oil.
End-of-Day Tidy: Kristine sometimes does another 10-minute tidy before bed to ensure she wakes up to a clean home.
These non-negotiable daily habits keep Kristine’s home cozy and stress-free. What are yours? Let us know in the comments!
