How do I clean up my house? A common question to which we have the right answer. With the tips below, cleaning up your home will be a breeze!

1. Get everything out of your closet

Yes, really everything. This will make you realize how much stuff you have. It will make you face the facts and you will have to make choices. By minimizing you create peace and order in your home again. To avoid having an overflowing closet six months from now, you can use the '1 in - 1 out trick'. In other words: buy something new? Then something else has to go.

2. Sort all the stuff

Okay, everything is out of your closet. Then it's now time to divide everything into categories such as toys, electronics and documents. To do this, use different storage baskets or folding crates, for example. This way you can tidy up your stuff in an orderly way, but also get it out easily.

3. Make a final choice

You don't have to keep all the stuff from your closets. Therefore, make three piles: yes, no and maybe. First, dig through all the items and put them in one of these three piles. Are you done? Then come back to the last pile of “maybe. You now know what you have, what really needs to stay and which items you value less. Now you can decide much more easily what you want to keep and what you don't. Set yourself a deadline to make sure that old stuff is really gone.

4. Give everything a fixed place in the house

Nothing is more annoying than constantly having to search for things when you need them. Therefore, make sure you give everything a fixed place when you are tidying up the house. Schedule 15 minutes every day at the end of the day to tidy up. That way you will start the next day in a tidy house. Extra tip: use a storage box or different assortment boxes for your things. That way everything is in a fixed place and out of sight. All the fun colors and lids with designs also make your home look stylish.

5. Start cleaning up

A tidy house doesn't happen by itself. Now that everything is sorted out, it is important to keep it tidy as well. If you repeat these little things daily, your home will stay tidy for the most part. Think about making your bed, cleaning the kitchen sink, putting in the dishwasher and putting away your shoes as soon as you get home. Takes a little getting used to maybe, but trust us, it works!
