It is important to understand that no area in the house is intended for storing junk and unnecessary things. It's hard to believe: it seems that you can arrange a warehouse in a closet, on a balcony, in a bedside table or in a separate closet. But actually it is not. Every room or space, be it a garage, utility room, mezzanine or shed, has a direct purpose, which is not to store junk there. Our tips will help you to put things in order not only at home, but also in other rooms, as well as in the corners where you are used to putting all unnecessary things.

Can you make sure that only the things you use remain in your apartment? The main problem associated with putting things in order in homes is that we keep things that we don't need: sorry, expensive, new, nowhere to put, suddenly come in handy. All these "stop words" are agitating you to live in housing, which is littered with unnecessary items. Bought dear leather jacket but don't wear it because it doesn't suit you? Sell, donate, give away, or throw away. According to space optimizers, people sell unnecessary things at flea markets or Avito so successfully that they help out decent sums. Your task is to take every thing that is at home and decide whether you will use it in the near future or not. If not, throw it away.

Imagine what the house needs spring-cleaning... Here you have armed yourself with a damp cloth or cloth in order to get rid of dust and dirt that appears on bedside tables, tables, surfaces of refrigerators, microwaves and coffee tables... What will your gaze fall on? All these surfaces are littered with figurines, vases, magazines, small household items, magnets and other gizmos. As a result, instead of quickly wiping everything around, you either start to disassemble the trash, or put the cloth aside in the far corner. Your task is to optimize the space so that dust can be removed from all surfaces in a matter of minutes. This does not mean that absolutely everything should be removed from open surfaces. It is important to exclude all unnecessary things.

The trouble is that a tablet, charger, laptop, lipstick, watch or book can end up in unexpected places every time. How so? It's very simple: they don't have single place... It is this kind of circulation of things in apartments that requires putting things in order over and over again. What do you end up doing? You just move objects from place to place. And then back. This can be stopped once and for all. For each thing that is in the house, find the only one possible place... Then home will be perfect order, and the necessary things will cease to be lost.

Tip 4: organize storage according to the “arm's length” rule

Thinking about how to arrange things in the bedroom, personal account, in the kitchen or living room, use the arm's length rule. All the things you use when you wash over the sink should be so close that you can reach them. The same goes for working at the table, preparing meals, and applying makeup. Thus, you can not only save time, but also quickly return the item to its rightful place: immediately and effortlessly.

Tip 5: keep things of the same category in a specific location

Do not allow a situation where cosmetics or apartment cleaning products are stored in different places. Why is it so important? First, by placing items with the same functionality in a specific place, you can assess what you are missing. Imagine that some girl keeps her makeup in the bedroom, bathroom, purse, and hallway at the same time. She lives in the illusion that tonal means or shadows are over and in general "there is not enough". Buy a convenient box for storing cosmetics, put all the funds there and immediately understand whether you need to buy something extra or if you have a stock for a year in advance.

The same applies to all other items: wires and charging device/ books / combs and other categories should have a single place. To solve the problem, special storage boxes will help, such as you can find in online stores for every taste and color. Moreover, they are designed specifically for storing things of specific categories.

Yes, this rule is difficult to follow when there are promotions in the supermarket for a year's supply of shampoo and blocks toilet paper... It is difficult to avoid the temptation to save money, but it is thanks to him that you do not have a place to store all your things. Instead of large blocks of something, buy one package and use the rest of the space for other items. The same goes for food: sacks of potatoes, large stocks sunflower oil, meat, fish. You do not need large amounts of food unless there is a dedicated area for them. Try to live by this rule, then your rooms will be perfect cleanliness.

Beautiful gift boxes, Zara bags, wrapping paper are unnecessary items. You should also immediately remove tights, cups, household appliances from the boxes. If you need the information on the package, take a picture of it and say goodbye to the cardboard, which creates the look of an unkempt apartment and takes up extra space. As for household appliances, remember: no packaging is needed. You can return the device or request a warranty repair if you have a sales receipt, and nothing more. Even the cash register is optional.

Imagine that you decide to take apart one of the rooms, for example the kitchen. Here you find one by one objects that have a place in other locations. Here you come across a screwdriver, and you carry it to the toolbox, then you find a pack of pills and immediately go to the first aid kit. Such trips from room to room will not allow you to put things in order quickly. You will instantly get tired and give up "decluttering". To save time, get a “relocation box” in which you can put everything that doesn't belong in the kitchen. This will quickly clear the room of displaced items by putting them in a box. And now you just have to smash them to their places in one go.

Remember how many instructions, labels, tools you have that you plan to use in your "dark days". It will break washing machine how to be without instructions? I need a drill, where can I get it? It's simple: you will find instructions on the Internet, and ask your neighbor for a drill. Those things that you do not need on a daily basis have no place in your home. If you collect everything "in case of war", you will not see order.

Many, in response to advice regarding tidying up, will say that the children are to blame. They don’t put things back, bring dirt into rooms, throw toys around, or don’t wash the dishes after themselves. In fact, children are only copying your behavior. If now your house does not shine with cleanliness, it means that you have run it down a little: you do not put things in their places, you do not always make your bed, or maybe you don’t love it at all. Children absorb everything and will not litter in an apartment where no one else does.

Although strict Soviet housewives assured their daughters that the disorder in the house is solely a consequence of laziness and personal lack of assembly, psychologists have long debunked this myth: people are divided into several types, and different types individuals organize the space around them in different ways.

CLEANLINESS AS A HABIT

There are those who find structure and order easy, they are uncomfortable in a mess, and cleaning is an important part of their character.

There are those who are more comfortable in order, but among the personality traits there is no ability to adhere to routine operations - it is more difficult for such people to maintain order, therefore, in their house, most often the disorder gains a critical mass (each has its own mass), after which cleaning is carried out, but the result is long does not hold, and the circle repeats.

There are those who, in principle, are not able to maintain cleanliness in the space around them and do not worry about this at all.

However, if you do not like the mess, but you are not a cleanliness by nature, you can try to deceive your character and instill habits, say activists of the Fly Lady movement. Only 10 habits will allow you to painlessly maintain order in the house.

Habit # 1: Always make your bed.

It was not for nothing that Mom always demanded that the bed be tidied up before school - nothing adds to the feeling of a mess like crumpled linen on an unmade bed does. Making the bed is a matter of 10 seconds and is the easiest and easiest habit of all!

Habit # 2: remove soapy water from the walls of the shower stall or bathtub after each shower

I took a shower - rinse the walls with water to remove soapy smudges, and wipe them with a special roller for shower cabins. It takes 5 seconds and keeps the bathroom fresh - a very healthy habit that would be great to instill in all family members.

Habit # 3: Wipe down the bathroom sink every night

I brushed my teeth - tidy up the sink so that soap streaks and toothpaste marks do not freeze on it. The easiest way is to keep the tile cleaner and sponge right in the bathroom so you can quickly apply it, rinse it off and leave it in the bathroom. all right... The whole procedure takes 30 seconds at most.

Habit # 4: Leaving the Kitchen Clean at Night

Fly Lady community activists argue that cleanliness in an apartment starts with a clean kitchen. They say that the kitchen gets dirty in the first place, and you need to start a war on disorder here. The procedure from Fly Lady is as follows:

• wash the dishes or load them in dishwasher(never leave dirty dishes overnight is a clean rule)
• apply a thick layer of cleaning agent to the sink, leave to act
• wipe all surfaces with a damp sponge
• rinse off the cleaning agent from the surface of the sink, wipe it dry
• get a fresh kitchen towel, send used towel to wash

With proper skill and consistency, the entire procedure takes 5 to 15 minutes, depending on the volume of dirty dishes.

Habit # 5: Washing dishes while preparing food

All people are divided into two groups - someone cooks and multiplies dirty utensils around him, someone washes everything in the cooking process. Cleanliness - from the second. The use-wash rule allows you to stifle the clutter during the inception phase.

Habit # 6: evening crawl

All the same Fly Lady activists advise to make every night “five minutes of cleanliness” a habit - before going to bed you need to go around the apartment and take out the fresh rubble. Send scattered things to their place, put magazines and disks, park children's toys. Just 5 minutes each evening will help keep your home clean until the next general cleaning.

Habit # 7: Don't spawn clothes outside of wardrobes.

Dirty - to wash, wearable - back to the closet. This rule allows you to wean yourself and your loved ones to produce mountains of clothes on chairs and armchairs that fit so harmoniously into the general atmosphere of the mess. This routine takes about 5 seconds of time - just in the process of exposure, check yourself, and send the removed things not to the chair, but where they should be.

Habit # 8: ventilate the room

One of the unpleasant properties of glove apartments is a musty smell. The apartment can be relatively clean, but this smell will give away the slob faster than scattered things. Make it a rule to ventilate the apartment every day for 10-15 minutes, this is good for your health and for maintaining an overall feeling of cleanliness.

Habit # 9: dusting dusty surfaces every day

Every house has surfaces that attract dust faster than others - plasma panels, monitors, glass (including mirrors), etc. brushing off the accumulated during the day will keep the overall feeling of cleanliness for a long time.

Habit # 10: Involve households in keeping order and invest in equipment that makes life easier.

There is no need to suddenly become clean, it is harmful to the psyche, say Fly Lady. Sometimes you really just don't have the strength to take out a fresh blockage or brush off the dust - it's not scary, it will wait until tomorrow. The main thing is still to make the above steps as your habit, for which it is enough to force yourself to follow the routine for three weeks.

After 21 days, evening rounds and wiping the sink in the bathroom will become second nature, activists say.

And one more thing: one should not try to repeat the feat of Hercules and clean the Augean stables alone, one should try to instill the habits of cleanliness in everyone at home (although what exactly is the feat of Hercules - cleaning or instilling such habits in her husband and children is, of course, a question).

Buying good home appliances that cuts down on the time and effort needed to keep clean is not a waste of money. For example, investing in a good steam cleaner (a device that cleans different surfaces steam) can help you reduce the hours of time you would otherwise spend scrubbing tiles, plumbing, and more.

We do not live in the 19th century, and it is foolish not to use everything that is designed to make our life easier.

And so that work on your habits does not stop, and laziness does not take over, FLY LADY advises you to do something like a cleaning schedule, where you can list the main routine and the frequency of various manipulations for yourself. It is enough to stick to this schedule for a month to get used to the new routine.

How quickly your home sinks into clutter largely depends on how much time and effort you put into cleaning. It really depends on two things:

1. how well your home is organized;
2. whether you have formed habits that help you maintain order.

Accordingly, in order to put things in order once and for all, you need to organize your home and move from regular cleaning to systemic cleaning.

Test "My cleaning type"

As a psychologist, I usually recommend to my clients to start a solution to any problem with a diagnosis.
Therefore, if you really want to put things in order once and for all, first of all determine the starting point - the situation in which you are now.

To do this, try on statements from each group of questions.

• If this is not about your situation, give yourself 0 points.
• 1 point - partially similar to what is happening in your house.
• 2 points - if you can say with confidence that this is about you.

Group A

1. The order lasts from an hour to several days. As soon as I put things in order, things start to creep all over the house again.
2. Allocate special time for cleaning (for example, on weekends)
3. Things in the house are lost. Sometimes I have to buy a second copy because I can't find the right thing... About some things I don't remember at all that I have them.
4. In each room in the house there are several heaps-warehouses where things accumulate.
5. When cleaning, I move things from place to place, because I don't know where to put them.

Group B

1. The house is kept in order all the time. Sometimes during particularly busy periods of life or on some unusual days there is a little mess, but this is more the exception than the rule.
2. There is no special time for cleaning, usually cleaning is done in the "background", in between. It takes no more than half an hour a day to maintain order.
3. I know exactly what things I have and where to get them if necessary.
4. There are 3-4 places in the house where things tend to "settle", but these accumulations of things are regularly dismantled. It takes just a few minutes to parse such places.
5. Each item has its own place where it is convenient to return it after use.

For each group of statements, you can score from 0 to 10 points, which reflect how strong you have each type and which version you are using now.

How many points do you have for each group of questions?

• If you get a result from 1 to 3, this is not your cleaning option.
• And if it is 9-10, then this type of cleaning is most pronounced for you.

Group A- this is what is inherent in a situation where you do normal cleaning.
Group B- what is typical if you have organized the space and moved on to systematic cleaning.

Why do you need order? The true meaning of real cleaning

The first and the most main question, without an answer to which there will never be order in the house: why do you need order?

And in order to answer this question, it is necessary to think about more global things. What kind of life you would like to live.

Someone wants to have many friends in life, there were some parties, meetings, gatherings over tea. And for such a person, the ideal home is a home that is always ready for the arrival of guests.
And someone, on the contrary, wants their own secluded place where you can hide from the world, relax and unwind.

And when we imagine our life, what we would really like to do, what way of life we ​​strive for, then the house that we need emerges.

Our home is our reflection

The house reflects how we live, think, feel. How we perceive this world. And so there is an interesting point here: when you put your house in order, you change internally.

You say goodbye to the past, define yours life values, you begin to understand and feel what you need and do not need in your life, which is really important.

Therefore, it is best to start with what kind of lifestyle you are striving for, and what kind of home is needed for that lifestyle. And if you tidy up your house after answering these questions, then through tidying up you will know even better what you want to do. And life becomes easier and more interesting.

Before you put things in order once and for all and organize a truly comfortable space, answer yourself these important questions:
Why do I need cleaning? What kind of life do I want to live?

And only after that, proceed to the first stage of creating true order - to decluttering.

Do not break this sequence if you do not want to get bogged down in cleaning.

There is one mistake that kills great amount time and effort, and about which I want to warn you right away.

Never, ever try to design storage systems and organize space BEFORE you get rid of unnecessary things!

Often in life, we do things completely differently. Remember how many people disassemble boxes of things.

• We look into the box and find a mess there.
• We are trying to somehow systematize things.
• In the process, we are distracted by somewhere to wash and wipe something.
• Then we understand that there is a lot of unnecessary things here, and we throw away some of the unnecessary things.
• Again, we are trying to highlight some categories and organize what is left.
• And in the end, a huge amount of time is wasted because we go in circles.

The scheme should be like this: first decluttering, then laundering and only then organizing storage systems... Do not break this sequence if you do not want to get bogged down in cleaning forever.

How to free your home from unnecessary things?

All the things we have are telling our story. Each thing is a reflection of some decisions that we have made in the past. This is a reflection of the events that took place in our life.

Therefore, taking things apart and putting things in real order is a way to take an “inventory” of life and see who you really are.

Alas. Few can do without global decluttering and getting rid of unnecessary things. It seems that the tendency to save and collect is hardwired into our subconscious.

However, only a few people deal with unnecessary things easily and with pleasure: they give it away, sell it, throw it away ... Others hold things in their hands for a long time, think, remember, and if they do part with the thing, they literally tear it away from their hearts.

If you are the type of person who finds it difficult to get rid of things, here are a few key points.

First- find your way of decluttering.

• Marla Scilly (the author of the Fly Lady system) recommends decluttering a little every day.
• Japanese woman Mari Kondo (author of the KonMari method) proposes to carry out a global operation to de-clutter and get rid of all unnecessary things in one fell swoop.

Both approaches have their pros and cons, so just see which one works best for you.

Second- in the process of dismantling the rubble, you will have to pick up each of the things. And each time to decide what to do with this thing. Good news in that the further, the easier it will be.

Start to disassemble with simple and understandable categories of things for you: clothes, cosmetics, dishes. If you start with old letters and photographs, chances are you'll be stuck forever.

The main bonus that we get when decluttering is the free space, which is so often lacking in our homes.
remember, that free place appears even in a small apartment, when there are only those things that please. And that free space is lost even in the very big house if we start to drag everything there.

For details on what difficulties you may face when decluttering and how to solve them, see the article (opens in a new window).

6 principles of storage, without which order is impossible

1. Strive for maximum simplicity

Due to the fact that our storage methods are too complex, often we simply do not understand how many things we have.
When there is an infinite number of boxes, containers, lockers in the house, we often no longer know what lies in the far corner. Things seem to "fall asleep" on the shelves, we forget about them and do not use them.
Don't be smart with storage systems. The simpler the better.

2. Store by category

If the cosmetics are stored in four different places, the child's toys have settled down a little bit. different rooms, and papers accumulate on all horizontal surfaces, there will never be order.

To avoid complex storage systems and questions about where to place a particular item, organize items by category. You can sort things by owner: here are the things of the mother, here are the things of the father, here - the children, and here - the grandmothers, etc.
Another option is for the intended purpose: clothes, books, dishes, office supplies, household supplies, cosmetics, a first aid kit.

Decorative items (figurines, candlesticks, photographs, paintings) can also be combined into groups by purpose, by common theme or by color and texture.

It happens that, placed throughout the house, they look untidy, but if you combine such objects into a composition, they become an interesting accent in the interior.

Pay special attention to all kinds of collections. If you collect figurines of cats and this is really important for you, there should be a place of honor in the house for cats. They should not stand in dirt and dust mixed with outdated cosmetics and unnecessary pieces of paper.

3. Store in such a way that it is convenient to return things to the place.

Many naturally arrange things closer to where they are used. But it’s even better if you come up with a place so that things are convenient not to take out, but to put away.

One of my clients is very fond of reading in bed before bed. When she walks into the bedroom past the bookcase in the living room, it is so convenient for her to grab some of the books. And of course, very soon a large mountain of books and magazines accumulates by the bed, because it is extremely inconvenient to carry them to another room.

Ideally, storage should reduce the amount of effort required to put the item back in place. And then even other family members begin to maintain order, because it is simple and natural.

4. Vertical storage

Most people stack things for storage.
There is another storage option, which in many cases turns out to be more convenient - vertical storage. In this case, you stack things vertically, like books on a shelf.

This storage option is convenient for several reasons:

• This is a huge space saver.
• Everything is in plain sight, you do not need to search for a long time, and there are no things undeservedly forgotten in the far corner.
• Things are easier to get out, the arrangement of other things is not disturbed.
• Storing in a stack often has a negative effect on the things that lie underneath, under the weight of the entire stack.

Therefore, if it is possible to put things upright, try to put them that way. This usually has many benefits.

5. Dividing large spaces into sections

There will always be a mess in a large unstructured space, so divide such places into small sections.
It's very simple, you can even use ordinary shoe boxes: they are of a convenient size, they come to our house quite regularly, they can be easily brought into a pretty look, if pasted over with paper or wrapped in cloth, or decorated with jewelry that you no longer wear.

Sometimes you really need a creative approach, but often enough interesting and convenient things can be made even from some improvised materials.

For example, one of the participants in our training on organizing household sewed a hanging storage section from fabric and plastic panels remaining after renovation.

In addition, when we start to get cluttered, we have a lot of things that can no longer be used for their intended purpose, but we don’t want to throw them away, because they are associated with them. pleasant memories... Look for new uses for these things so that they continue to make your home cozy and comfortable.

6. Fullness - 90%

There is such a subtle psychological moment. When we start to get rid of unnecessary things, it often happens that after decluttering, free space is found.

For example, you take apart the clogged shelves in the closet, and as a result, some of them are half empty. And in the middle of the shelf there is a lonely small box or a small pile of things. And from this there is a strange feeling that it has become uncomfortable.

This is a completely natural feeling. Our psychology simply contains this need - to fill the empty space. If you want to keep your home tidy, don't leave empty spaces.

90% fullness is the most comfortable and stable condition. If there is too much space, then there is as if an internal itching: "something needs to be filled." And we begin to either throw things of other categories there indiscriminately, or drag new things from the same category into the house in order to fill this space.

This is very important rule Any drawer, any shelf, any section, any storage space must either be completely empty or 90% full.

After decluttering, many find that some cabinets and shelves become completely unnecessary and you can get rid of them in order to get additional free space in the house.

Put things in order once and for all

As a result of de-cluttering and organizing the space, you will get a house, which will be very easy to maintain. Most things will automatically be put into place, and daily cleaning will take very little time.

But in order to maintain order was really easy and fast, go to system cleaning. For example, for cleaning according to the Fly-Lady system.

Due to lack of time, energy, lack of organization and disorganization, people are faced with a systematic mess in their lives. But, as the well-known proverb says, it’s not clean where they clean up, but where they don’t litter.

To get rid of chaos, you need to start with own home... If you accustom yourself to cleanliness gradually, the discipline of order will firmly enter the rhythm of life, and over time it will become impeccably tidy everywhere and in everything.

However, keeping an apartment or house clean every day is not as easy as it seems at first glance. The hostess must follow some rules, as well as know the secrets of a successful, fast and high-quality cleaning.

How to keep your home clean

Cleanliness and order in the house is not only a sign of the neatness and pedantry of the owners, but also the basis healthy way life. Each missed cleaning can lead to the growth of bacteria or fungi that are dangerous to humans. For example, a bathroom without proper care will become a habitat for mold, dust is a strong allergen and an excellent breeding ground for harmful microorganisms. Unwashed dishes in the kitchen, crumbs on the table - a "feast" for cockroaches. Spiders with cobwebs may not be so scary, but ugly in appearance.

In order not to bring the housing to such a state, it is recommended to “generalize” it from time to time. First of all, start removing debris and putting things in their places. Then you can start wet cleaning and surface cleaning.

Advice: Pay attention to the details of the interior. Lamps, chandeliers, figurines, flowers, blinds, curtains must be fresh and washed.

If you do not have enough time, and you are busy from morning till night at work, you can contact a special cleaning company. However, not everyone likes the presence of strangers in the house. Therefore, this method is only suitable if you are familiar with the workers or have long been using the services of housekeepers for money.

Keeping a home clean takes desire, time, and patience. Also, you will need a mop, vacuum cleaner, rags, sponges, detergents and cleaners to help you.
