Thanh Trúc is a housewife known for sharing valuable information about home care on social media. For Thanh, cleaning is not just a chore, but also a therapeutic activity that helps her relax and reduce stress.
“Cleaning gives me a sense of relief and calm. A clean and organized house makes me feel excited and allows me to work more efficiently because I don’t waste time searching for things,” Thanh shared.
In today’s modern society, women not only juggle household chores but also work to support their families and take care of their children. Instead of waiting for a specific day to clean and exhausting oneself, incorporating the following 10 habits into daily routines will ensure a tidy and organized home:

1. Make the bed every morning after waking up
Spend 2 minutes arranging the pillows and straightening the blanket each morning. This not only keeps the bed tidy but also creates a positive energy for the day.
2. Do the laundry
In a tropical city, sweating is common. Doing laundry daily helps prevent odors from lingering in the house.
3. Vacuum (including carpets and sofas if there are pets in the house)
Vacuuming the house daily not only eliminates dust but also improves air quality indoors.
4. Dust the furniture
In addition to vacuuming, using a microfiber cloth to dust the furniture daily is beneficial for air quality and prevents dust accumulation. Microfiber cloth has excellent water absorption and quick drying capabilities.
5. Never “leave the room empty-handed”!
Develop the habit of taking 1-2 items with you when leaving a room and returning them to their designated places. This simple act helps reduce clutter effortlessly.
6. Put shoes in the closet
Immediately store shoes in the closet after use to maintain tidiness. If there are pets in the house, this also prevents them from playing with and damaging the shoes.
7. Practice the “clean as you go” method
Tidy up as you go to maintain a clean and organized house while saving time and effort. For example, after opening a package, clean up the paper and packaging immediately and put scissors back in their original place after use.
8. Determine the location of each item in the house
Organize the house by designating specific locations for each item. This ensures that everyone knows where to store things and easily find them when needed.
9. Hang, fold, and iron clothes after washing
After washing clothes, sort them by hanging, folding, or ironing. Thanh Trúc usually hangs most dresses and easily wrinkled clothes, which saves time when folding and ironing the rest. If there isn’t enough time to iron clothes, hanging them prevents further wrinkles compared to folding them.
10. Take out the trash at the end of the day
To prevent unpleasant odors, take out the trash every night. Forgetting to do so not only creates an unpleasant smell but also requires extra time and effort to eliminate the odor.
Finally, Thanh Trúc advises not to try cleaning the entire house at once, but rather to start by cleaning one room or area at a time. The best way to maintain a clean and organized house is to develop a habit of cleaning for a few minutes every day. If time or energy is limited, considering hiring a cleaning service 1-2 times a month can be a good option.
