Cleaning Tips For Your Home

As we find ourselves in a second national lockdown, we are very limited to what we can do. The coronavirus has dominated our lives for the majority of 2020. The shops are closed, the towns and cities across the country are deserted, the days are shorter and the nights are longer. In these challenging times we might be feeling stressed or anxious which nobody wants to feel, however there are things we can do to avoid feeling this way. There are many ways that we can avoid feeling these emotions, a quick meditation, a walk in the park and CLEANING is a very powerful way of uplifting our moods and to help us feel calmer. For some of us, even the sight of a clean and tidy home can help temporarily blunt the effects of a stressful day. The scent of a fresh pile of clothes, the feeling you get when you prepare a meal in a tidy kitchen. These are simple yet effective ways that we can instantly boost our mood.

In this blog post I want to provide some simple and effective cleaning tips that can be carried out in the safety of your own home so that you can feel clean and safe.

Tip #2

Decluttering

Decluttering your home space can be more challenging than simply tidying up. Marie Kondo is the leading woman in this department. Her method of decluttering is known as the KonMari method which consists of gathering all your belongings one category at a time and keeping the ones that spark joy. There are 5 categories from which you can organise, the first being clothes followed by books, paper and miscellaneous and sentimental items. Decluttering can improve your sleep. Trying to sleep in a messy room can be a real struggle. ‘Since humans are energetic beings, the more energy that freely circulates around us, the easier it is for us to rejuvenate with deep, restful sleep,’ explains Dean Davies.
