Cleaning your home can be an overwhelming task, especially when you need to do it every day. But there are simple steps that will help you stay on top of things. With these tips, you'll be able to keep your home tidy and clean every day.
Start by cleaning out the fridge
If you've got a lot of food sitting around in your
refrigerator, chances are you won't eat it before it spoils. So start by
throwing away any expired items, then clean out the shelves and drawers. Next,
wipe down the inside of the door and remove any crumbs or spills. Finally, wash
the insides of the doors and drawers/compartments. A fridge is a place that has to be kept clean because there are tons of food inside and if one food is molding, you probably also have to throw out some other items that might still be good. This is one of the most important places to keep clean daily. The best thing to do to keep it clean is; don't keep food in it for too long. Every food expires one day, so don't even let it come to that. Food is to be eaten as soon as possible otherwise it'll go bad.
Take care of the bathroom first
It's not just the kitchen sink that needs cleaning; the bathroom
should also be cleaned daily. Start by wiping down the toilet seat and flush
handle, then use a damp cloth to wipe down the walls and floor. Afterward,
scrub the tub and shower with soap and water. The bathroom doesn't have to be deep cleaned every day, but you can do it every month or two. What you will want to do every day, though, is to keep the shower/bathtub, the sink, and the toilet clean because those are the places that you visit the most frequently. If you do this, your bathroom will look neat and tidy all the time. Also, remember to throw away empty shampoo bottles and other items that are not used anymore so as to not cause cluttering.
Clean your kitchen, too!
Clean the stovetop, microwave, refrigerator, and other
appliances. Finally, dust the furniture and vacuum the floors. You can even do
some spring cleaning before the start of summer. This is also an important place to keep clean. If there's a lot of clutter laying around on the kitchen worktop, you will have difficulties with cooking and other things. Also, no one wants to eat from a dirty stove or microwave!
Clean the living room
Start by wiping down the coffee table, then move on to the couch
and armchair. Dust off the TV stand and shelves, and wipe down the windowsills.
If you have pets, make sure to clean out their litter box. The living room is most likely also a frequently visited place, raising the importance of cleaning it daily. Since a living room is a rather smaller room most of the time, it shouldn't be that hard to keep clean. Just vacuum the floors and dust off the furniture from time to time, and it should look nice and clean every day!
And don't forget about the laundry room
The laundry room is just as important as all the other rooms in the house, so don't forget to clean and declutter it from time to time. A good starting point would be if you'd get a few laundry baskets to keep all the laundry in so it doesn't spread everywhere. You can also just clean off the floors and the areas behind the washing machine and the dryer from time to time. There's not much else in a laundry room, so you don't really have to worry too much about there being not enough space.

I know I said on Facebook that I don't do house chores on Sunday but I didn't think about bathroom cleaning. I clean the sanitaries in my bathroom on a daily basis because I simply hate using the sink or toilet, for example, if I don't know they were cleaned before. Kitchen also in part because while I am cooking I also clean the sink, the surfaces of the kitchen, plates and stuff. As for the cabinets, dusting, cleaning and moping the floors, which I consider true chores, I do them on week days 😜
