How to bring order to your home

When life gets busy, and we find ourselves caught up in work, cooking, school and other activities, we tend to neglect simple things like the tidiness of our home. But fortunately, there are ways to keep a home neat by putting in even just a little effort. Below outlined are tips that will help you manage things in a better fashion and bring order to your home.

Make your bed

A simple thing like making your bed can make a huge difference. Start by clearing your bed, then put the fitted sheet on and pull up the quilt and lay it evenly, and fluff the pillows before placing them on the bed. This will immediately change the look of your bedroom. Apart from that, your bed will look a lot more inviting at the end of a hectic day than wrinkled, untidy sheets.

Declutter

Often we find things like shoes, bottles, bags, clothes, files, etc. laying around here and there rather than being in their rightful place. This makes the house look messy. A simple way to de-clutter the place is to grab a basket and collect all the items. Start by picking up items from the living room that don't belong there. Repeat the same process with the bedroom. While there, if you have items that belong in the bedroom, place them back to where they belong. Follow this method for every room until your basket is empty. Spend at least 10-15 minutes a day in decluttering your home.

Run the dishwasher at night

Dishwashers are not only water efficient but also save time and effort as compared to cleaning the dishes by hand. Every night run the dishwasher even if the dishes are less. By doing this your kitchen will look clean and clutter free.

Clean the kitchen benchtop

After dinner and before going to bed, make sure you put away all the dishes, food, scraps or waste and clean the kitchen benchtop as well as the stovetop. By doing this you can go to bed without the worry of having to deal with a messy kitchen next morning.

Tidy the bathroom

Quite often we find too many products on the bathroom countertop. This makes the bathroom look untidy. The best thing to do is, keep the daily use products like soap, toothbrush and toothpaste, and maybe a hairbrush on the countertop in a neat manner. While items like shampoo, conditioner, lotions, oils, shaving kit should be kept in a cabinet. This will help to prevent a bathroom from looking unkempt.

Follow these tips on a daily basis and your house will look neat and clean every day.

Tips to combat your child's allergies

Many a time, parents find it difficult to detect the signs of allergies in their young children. After all, kids come in contact with germs all the time which could result in coughing, sneezing and a runny nose. While most of us would believe it's another cold, it could actually be an allergy if there's constant sneezing, coughing, eyes watering, headaches, chest congestion and trouble in breathing.

The most effective way to treating allergies in the child is finding out what exactly is triggering it. Once you know the reason for it, you can adopt a few changes to ensure your child is in a much healthy environment. Below are some smart tips to help you prevent allergies.

1. Stuffed toys attract a lot of dust mites and other allergens. Therefore, it is important to wash them often using hot water.

2. Use a dust mite-proof cover on your child's bed to avoid dust mites from settling in. Also, ensure that the bedding is washed every week in hot water.

3. Get your carpets and upholstery cleaned by professionals in order to get rid of the dust and allergens thoroughly. Classique Chem-Dry with its cleaning expertise is known to remove 98% of allergens from carpets, rugs, furniture and upholstery.

4. Purchase a vacuum cleaner that has a HEPA (High-Efficiency Particulate Air) filter as this captures even the smallest of dust particles resulting in cleaner air.

5. Use a good air conditioning system to filter allergens from the outside environment. Check the filters periodically and replace them when they get extremely dirty.

6. Be on the look out for mould and mildew.

7. Opt for chemical cleaners that have mild scents.

8. Avoid smoking indoors.

9. Vacuum and wash your cushions, pillows and blankets regularly to minimise the

    exposure to pet dander.
