Referring to other people's experience, you may find the blind spots of family affairs that you have never realized so far.

How to make good use of storage and create a refreshing vision? In the new year, you can manage a well-off home for yourself, and doing housework can be a daily routine.
Kitchen housekeeping and storage1. Reduce the items on the wall
Every time you use the flowing tray, you must pick up the dishwasher, vegetable cloth, sea cucumber, etc. at the bottom to completely wipe it dry? In fact, the kitchen wall is a good storage space. Using a wall hanging storage rack to clear the scattered objects on the flow surface, it can reduce the uncleaned water.
2. The stove rack that converts traditional gas stoves to IH gas stoves is the corner where the kitchen is most likely to get stuck. More and more families in Japan choose to use electric IH boilers. After cooking, just wipe them with a dry cloth to greatly reduce cleaning time.
3. Make good use of storage boxes and containers to separate kitchen tableware and bowls, which will make it look complicated in your opinion. In addition, the sizes of each container are different, so it also takes up a lot of space when stored. The solution is to make good use of the storage box, concentrate the flat uppers in one box, and stack the containers and place them in another box. In this way, the same capacity of the cabinet can contain more tableware. In addition, the long square pencil case is suitable for storing tableware. Put chopsticks, spoons, forks, and a box of tableware, and make proper use of every inch of space drawn.
4. Refrigerator food is classified according to the consumption status. There are often forgotten ingredients in the refrigerator. After using it once, it will be put into the refrigerator. The next time I remember it, it has expired? Prepare several storage boxes, put them on the tags "unsealed", "unsealed" and "refreshed" and divide ingredients and food according to the edible condition. This method not only reminds the host and the host to use up the sealed ingredients soon, but also makes the refrigerator more tidy and easier to find.
In addition, certain ingredients such as sausage, cauliflower, etc. will not lose shaving when taken. If the flavoring can is not wiped after use, a circle of dirt will be left on the refrigerator layer. It is easier to clean using a storage box than to wiping the refrigerator vigorously.
Bathroom housework and storage5. Use acidic cleaning agent to remove the scaling dirt
The scaling in the bathroom is different from the oil stain in the kitchen. Most scale, soap scaling and urine scaling are steady scaling. Only by cleaning with acidic cleaning agents can you achieve twice the result with half the effort. 1/2 of the citric acid in 100 ml of cold water can make your own cheap and non-harm acidic cleaner. Spray on the face washers, water dragon heads, lenses and bucket seats, and then dry for 1 hour to clean them thoroughly.
6. Use a small square towel to replace the towel for washing the face, in fact, it is only the size of a handkerchief. After washing your face, you can easily rub it with your hands and dry it quickly in a silent bathroom, reducing the frequency of washing towels. In addition, although the white towel will make the dirt look very eye-catching, you can also remind you to clean the towel immediately if it is dirty. I hope the white towel can be as white as new, and you can add soap powder and water to boil it together to remove color and taste.
7. Don't put out dirt and dirt, which is one of the most likely places to hide dirt in bathrooms. Selecting the right tools can make the gap clearance work twice as much as possible with half the effort. For example, if you can't stretch your hand into the gaps such as window frames, you can use a bamboo label to wrap a wet paper towel and scrape out the dirt easily. Larger gaps, such as the contacts of the water dragon head and the sink, can be brushed with an old toothbrush.
A more troublesome way is to "reduce the gap", for example, the connections of the bucket base and floor can be supplemented with porcelain tiles, or a waterproof rubber strip can be pasted on the edge of the sink. Reduce the water contact with the gap and reduce the chance of mold development.
8. The bathroom that has been cleaned for 3 minutes a day is not only for the most important effort, but if you can spend some time every day to maintain it, there are clean bathrooms available all year round. Japanese host Tomoko planned a "3-minute cleaning method", which is in sequence:
a. Change towelsb. Bucket spray cleaning agent
c. Use a brush with a handle to brush the dirty waste of the sink, which is more efficient than vegetable cloth or sea vegetation.
d. Take a wet wipe and wipe the dirty stains on the outer side, inner side, and inner side of the barrel in sequence. After rubbing all the above areas, fold the wet wipe in half and wipe the wall and the outer side of the bucket. Finally, fold it into 1/4 and wipe the floor with dirty clothes.
e. Breaking off cleaner.
f. Spray alcohol from the water dragon head and wipe it with a dirty towel.
Bookroom, living room and household chores, and storage9. Use file folders and small tags to collect documents
Water, electricity, gas bills, warrants, appliance instructions, and bills taken home by hand. All kinds of documents are not classified properly, and it is difficult to find them immediately when needed. When sorting out, you can first archive the above documents according to the nature of the documents into the dedicated folder, and then label each document separately. For example, the information folder of the appliance description can be further divided into dust absorbers, washing machines, air purifiers, etc. If there are zero-piece spare parts, it can also be placed on the same page.
10. Making good use of the tray for "visible storage"
small objects with different shapes scattered everywhere, which is the reason for the complexity of space. It is easy to forget the location of the storage of everything when it is stored in the cabinet. To combine beauty and convenience of use, the tray can be a very useful storage tool.
Use a pallet to store, and you can place "items that are used at the same time". For example, before leaving every day, you must use a remote controller to turn off the air, hold a key, wear a watch and a mask, and these items can be placed on the same tray. Ordinary daily necessities are lined up, just like they are displayed in a store. It is clear where the things are collected, and it can easily find out the seldom used and can be left alone.
In addition to plane space, the wall surface can also be collected using the concept of a tray. For example, a wall panel is tiled on the wall and hanging all the things are visible at a glance.
11. Use a layer board to maximize storage space
As the number of members in the family grows and increases, the content of items that need to be collected during each period will also change. The active layer can separate different spaces according to the size of the item, achieving the maximum storage benefit. Moreover, the space from the bottom layer to the ground can place items with larger sizes and difficult to store. For example, small electric fans, air heaters and other seasonal home appliances, or air heaters.
12. There are many benefits to packing clothes with hanging and snuggling instead of folding clothes. First of all, you can just roll your clothes into the cabinet directly, and do less folding procedures, and it is not easy to get rid of them. Furthermore, the capacity of the cabinet is limited, so you can easily think about the frequency of each piece of clothing when you hang clothes. Clothing that you don’t love or wear can be donated or abandoned to help the cabinet be left.
Apart from underwear and pajamas, clothes throughout the year should be hung in the cabinet. Clothes that you won't wear at the moment can be worn with cloth to protect you from dust. In this way, the season change is very relaxed. Just move the position of the dustproof cloth without making regular seasonal storage.
If you don't fit the clothes, you can also consider "tucking" them one by one in the storage box, which is as easy to get. In this way, the time to fold clothes can be minimized.
Do housework with wise heart, maintain the refreshing and comfortable home, and leave more to enjoy life!
