A useful reminder, and the best way to turn this constraint into a habit without even noticing it. Advice from our experts:
Force yourself to tidy up every night before going to bed: in the morning when you wake up, you are happy to find your house in order, you start the day on the right foot!
Schedule a quick cleaning on a regular basis, rather than a full cleaning once in a while. This reduces the difficulty of the task, and you save time.
Thoroughly clean your house when the seasons change.
Don’t forget the outdoors! Cleaning the facade and the garden contributes to improving the aesthetics of your home… and promotes your comfort in your family cocoon!
