Do you want your apartment to always be clean? Are you one of those people for whom cleaning your home is one of the biggest annoyances in your life? No worries! In the editorial office, this time we discovered some small tricks on how to shorten the cleaning time and ensure an always shiny and clean home in a simple way. Are you interested? Here are eight things you can do to keep your apartment clean!
8 things you can do to keep your home shiny and clean forever:
1. Everything has its place
Remember: everything has its place. If you haven't found a place for it in your home yet, do it as soon as possible. Whenever you take something, after using it, put it exactly where you got it. This is the easiest way to de-clutter your home.
2. Get rid of unnecessary things
Make room and get rid of all the old magazines you haven't read in a while. Clean out the cupboards. Put away things and clothes that you haven't needed in, say, half a year. If you haven't used something in two years, it should definitely leave your home. Sell it, give it to someone, burn it or exchange it. Be careful when shopping. Never buy things you don't need, even if you are sometimes tempted to do so.

3. Take off your shoes
Taking off your shoes will actually help you cut down on the time it takes to clean your apartment, as you won't have to wipe and remove all the dirt that has accumulated on the soles of your shoes throughout the day.
4. Do not leave windows open for too long
When ventilating the room, be careful not to leave the windows open for too long. This will prevent additional dust accumulation.
5. Cover the furniture
Did you know that you can simply protect furniture with tablecloths and thus protect it from various spills, dust and other dirt? Covers for your seat are very convenient, as you can simply throw them in the wash and put them back on again a few hours later.

6. Use of disinfectant wipes
Using disinfectant wipes will definitely help you a lot in maintaining a sparkling and clean apartment. Quick and effortless to clean.
7. Eat at the dining table
Stop eating all kinds of snacks while walking around the apartment. This will get the crumbs and remaining stains onto the bed or carpet. Eat at the dining table and don't even try to multitask between meals.
