Keep your bedroom clutter free

by Bedroom TipsHome Organising

Put away your laundry after drying. 

A very easy way for clutter to start building up is after a load of laundry. Instead of shoving your cleaned laundry into your room and plonking it on the side put it away immediately. When you fold your clothes fresh out of the wash, you decrease the chance of wrinkles too so it is a win win.

Just follow this simple process.

Fold, sort, and put away your clean clothes right after the wash.

If you are finding that you don’t have enough room for your clothes in your wardrobe and drawers then maybe this is a sign you need to get rid of some.

Adapt a seasonal wardrobe and clothes that you are not currently wearing store in vacuum pack bags or use under the bed storage bags to create more room. If you don’t have under the bed storage you can store in the garage shed, garage or loft.


Clean your room regularly. 

Little and often is always the key to keeping a tidy organised space, so Instead of waiting a couple of weeks to do your bedroom clean, do small bursts a few times a week an include a little decluttering and organising. Don’t forget to change your sheets weekly if time allows.

If you have a small amount of clutter on your desk or in the corner of your room, go take care of it. Don’t let the mess build up. You can save yourself a hassle in the future by tackling those clutter zones.

Vacuum your room at least once a week and if you have a pet that likes to sit in your bedroom do this more often as pet hair can add to allergies and encourage more dust-mites.

Air your bedroom every day, even when it is freezing outside letting a burst of cold fresh air into your bedroom can make it feel so much better and fresher and combat any nasty odours.

Avoid over-buying. 

Many people have problems with hoarding materials or purchasing impulse buys. If you are one of these people, attempt to limit the number of belongings you purchase. If you are going to treat yourself to something new, ask yourself : Will this fit into my wardrobe ? Do I really need it and are you buying this item for the right reason?

If you upgrading an item for example treating yourself to a new coat decide if you are willing to purge the original.

When it comes to bedroom accessories, it is great to have some personal touches and a pop of colour but too many can over clutter so choose wisely.

Keeping the house tidy when you have kids.

by Cleaning TipsFamily Organising

If there is one thing that seems impossible to achieve when you are a parent, it is a clean house. Children have a knack for creating mess wherever they go. The last thing you want to do is spend your day scrubbing the floor and tidying up, only to find that you need to repeat the process come tomorrow. With that being said, read on to discover some secrets on keeping your house tidy while you have children.

Involve the children

Why not put your kids to good use and get them to join in with the cleaning too? Needless to say, it is not like your eight-month-old baby is going to pick up the hoover and give the house a good vacuum. However, most toddlers love helping out around the house because it makes them feel like they are adults. Kids love copying their parents, so why not get them their own children’s sized broom or mop and let them give you a hand?

Get up before the kids do!

Waking up before your children can make a massive difference in terms of keeping your home tidy.
