9 signs that your home is really clean

Have you ever wondered how your home is perceived by people who come to visit or for some other reason? Have you asked yourself whether the apartment is clean and whether you are considered dirty? If these questions have ever bothered you, then you urgently need to read our article. Does everything fit? Then you don’t have to worry: you are the ideal hostess (or owner!)

Weekends - to relax

When cleanliness in the house is maintained throughout the week (even if only slightly), no piles of clothes and dirty dishes are created, floors and dust are wiped on time, and household members are actively involved in the cleaning process, then on the weekend you may find that it’s time to relax and spend day with the family, and not to restore order and cleanliness.

Now, if you can spend your legitimate vacation calmly and measuredly, and not behind a mop and broom, then consider half the job done!

Everything has its place

If you are sure that the documents are in a certain shelf, the T-shirt is folded in a specific drawer, and the socks are laid out in the chest of drawers, most likely you have no problems with putting things in order and organizing storage. But when you have to get up early in the morning to get ready for work (since everything is unclear where), then bad news awaits you - it’s urgently time to correct the situation.

Open shelves - for decoration

Look at your shelves, look at your cabinets and chests of drawers, pay attention to your window sills. Are there any clutter on exposed surfaces? This is good - you can relax a little, because total chaos is not about you.

Ready for guests

Friends showed up unexpectedly and without calling in advance? Guests are always good. And if such a situation does not send you into panic and hysteria, you are not running frantically around the apartment, trying to collect scattered socks and make the bed, then we can congratulate you: the house can already be called cozy and clean.

General cleaning is a special ritual

Sometimes you have to go beyond the boundaries of daily cleaning and use heavy artillery. Yes, we are talking about everyone’s unloved spring cleaning. Whatever one may say, our homes really need it. At least once every two months. If you pay due attention to this and conduct the general meeting on time, not forgetting to look into hard-to-reach places, then the owner is definitely not dirty!

Ventilation is important!

By ignoring such measures as room ventilation, we doom ourselves to breathe germs, bacteria, dust and dirt. Accordingly, we deprive our body of vital oxygen. But clean air is not only the key to comfortable living, but also to health.

The house needs to be ventilated daily, even in winter. Of course, this sign says little about whether your place is clean or dirty. However, you must agree that a person who is indifferent to order is unlikely to attach importance to open windows.

The dirtiest places

In fact, if there is slight disorder in the apartment, this does not position you as a bad owner. If you forgot to put things away, wash clothes, wash the dishes once, wipe the floor - this does not mean that there are problems with cleanliness.

However, in this case, it is very important to know about the most contaminated places in the house. Often they are breeding grounds for germs, bacteria and dust. And, of course, remove them on time. There are few such places:

• handles of interior doors;
• switches and sockets;
• baseboards;
• space under the bathroom;
• ventilation systems and kitchen hood;
• window sills, which we often forget about;
• cutting boards;
• heating batteries.

It is enough to pay attention to them at least once every two to three months to maintain their cleanliness.

Comfort and coziness at home

Undoubtedly, chaos has a direct impact on our psychological state. A dirty apartment will be suffocating, unnerving, and make you want to leave. There will be no feeling of comfort and coziness. But if in your own home you feel happy, calm and relaxed, then this usually means that your home is clean. Otherwise (when anxiety and tension persist) - it's time to clean up.

And what? Nothing to clean?

Usually the degree of purity is indicated by idleness. Or rather, the lack of tasks to restore order. If you are not in a hurry to wash dirty dishes (there are none), do not run for a vacuum cleaner (the floor is clean), there is no burning desire to wash linoleum or laminate flooring (it shines), you do not grab a rag to wipe off the dust (you wiped it yesterday) and other similar observations, then with 100% probability the house is really clean!
