While renting an apartment has its perks, there are also drawbacks such as the fact that many apartments are smaller than an average house. Smaller spaces can accumulate clutter and dust pretty quickly, and if you have less room for storage, this can make it harder for you to store or hide things away. Thus, you end up having a messy and disorganized apartment.<\/p>\n

The last thing you\u2019d want to happen is to be called a slob just because you can\u2019t keep your apartment in order. Unfortunately, clutter can happen to anyone, especially to small apartment owners. Also, not a lot of people are a fan of cleaning. But the good news is that there are simple steps you can take to maintain the tidiness of your apartment without cleaning every nook and cranny on a daily basis.<\/p>\n

Although the tasks involved may seem like a handful at first, the benefits they provide are worth the effort. One, you won\u2019t panic anymore when you have unexpected guests coming over. Second, you\u2019ll feel more relaxed at peace in your apartment as soon as you arrive home from work or school.<\/p>\n

So to help you get started and reap the benefits of having a tidy apartment, here are some tips you can try right now:<\/p>\n

1. Do Chores Every Day<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Having an apartment means you should be able to take on household chores without anyone\u2019s help. To accomplish this, make it a point to do at least one or two chores every day. Those can be taking out the trash, mopping the floor, washing the dishes in the sink, and dusting your furniture.<\/p>\n

These small yet consistent cleaning habits will minimize the dirt in your apartment and eliminate the need for extensive cleaning sessions that almost everyone avoids. You can set the alarm on your phone and create a to-do list wherein you assign chores to be accomplished on certain days.<\/p>\n

2. Get Rid Of Things You Do Not Need <\/strong><\/h2>\n

It\u2019s easier to keep your apartment in order if you don’t have a lot of possessions in the first place. For this reason, it\u2019s best for you to go through all of your items and see which ones you no longer use. You can either donate them, sell them, or dispose of them responsibly with the help of a company like Same-Day Rubbish Removal<\/strong>. Once you\u2019ve removed all unwanted items from your apartment, it will be easier for you to rearrange your space, keep all the areas clean, and maintain orderliness.<\/p>\n

3. Make Your Bed <\/strong><\/h2>\n

This is usually a struggle for most people, especially those who constantly wake up in a hurry to run urgent errands, or get up late for work, or need to prepare lunch before heading out the door in the morning. Making your bed may seem like a simple task, but it\u2019s impactful enough to make your apartment look more organized. So starting today, see to it that you make your bed every morning. After all, it only takes a couple of minutes or less, leaving you with a bedroom you\u2019ll love spending time in after a tiring day.<\/p>\n

4. Do Laundry In The Morning <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The best time to do laundry<\/strong>, particularly when you\u2019re busy almost the entire week, is during the morning. Upon getting out of bed, gather all your dirty clothes and load them into the washer. After that, you can proceed to your usual morning routine. By the time you finish preparing and eating your breakfast, your clothes should be ready for the dryer, which won\u2019t take a lot of time, either.<\/p>\n

5. Use Organizing Tools <\/strong><\/h2>\n

Despite living in a small apartment, it\u2019s still common for renters to misplace their wallet, keys, chargers, phones, and other small items. This often happens because they don\u2019t have a designated area for essential objects.<\/p>\n

To resolve the issue of misplacing your things and wasting minutes of your life searching for them, you can use organizing tools. These can be floating shelves or a piece of furniture such as a drawer placed by the door. Put all of the small items you need there so you can spot them before you leave the apartment.<\/p>\n

6. Focus On Keeping Surfaces Clean <\/strong><\/h2>\n

The easiest spots to get cluttered are surfaces around your home. These include your coffee table, kitchen countertops<\/a>, dining table, and bedside tables. As much as possible, work on keeping those areas free of any items. If that\u2019s not possible, limit yourself to placing only one object or a couple of objects on each surface. When these surfaces are clear of items, your whole apartment will look more tidy.<\/p>\n

Wrap Up<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The key to keeping your apartment in order is to never let clutter get out of control. Strive to always clean as you go and keep the organizing tips above in mind. Minimizing clutter will make deep cleaning days less stressful and more manageable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
