A clean house is a lucky house: 8 tips to create a clean and lucky home

A clean house is more than a luxury, it is a necessity. That’s right, a necessity. We need a clean house (office or desk) for everything it offers us: efficiency and relaxation. Efficiency, because a clean house means you can find what you need when you need it. It also means you’ll spend less time worrying and frustrated about the clutter in your home.

A clean house offers relaxation, because clean houses look better, smell better and feel better, and that’s what makes you relax. A mess everywhere makes us tense. Even the hidden masses concern us. What does it take to have a truly clean house? In a word, discipline. No one likes to hear that word anymore, but it’s true.

A clean house requires work, plain and simple. Ironically, the less a house is cleaned, the more work it requires. If true. If you don’t stay on top of your house, the house will be on top of you, with paper piled up and trash everywhere, not to mention dirt and grime.

Look around. Does your outer experience reflect the inner experience? What does your house say about you and your life? Now, how does your luck improve with a clean house? Think of all the “old” and “failed” energy you have in your home.

If you have dust bunnies the size of a Great Dane, it’s time to get to work. Dirt and dust equals stagnation and clogging. Remember, a routine is just a grave that is open at both ends. How to get out of your dirty routine? Good old fashioned elbow grease. Here’s a quick guide to cleaning up your space and getting you out of your dirty rut.

1. Go to the bathroom.

Why? Dirty restrooms are festivals of germs waiting to make you sick. Clean it up and you just might feel better or come through cold and flu season unscathed!

2. Take charge of the kitchen.

This is where you eat, so it must be clean. Nothing attracts bugs faster than a dirty kitchen. Make it a point to give your kitchen a two-hour overhaul. Spend two hours in there and really clean: the refrigerator coils, the oven, the floors, ceilings, windows, everything.

3. Head to the bedroom.

When you sleep, you breathe in everything in the room, ie pet dander, dust, bed mites, you name it. Be sure to clean under your bed, vacuum your blinds, and wash your curtains, bedspreads, and blankets. Then he vacuums, yes, he vacuums, the mattress and flips. Ahh… clean. It feels so good.

4. Create a paper record.

To the recycling center that is. Haven’t you read that magazine? Then you’re not going to do it, so get rid of it. Do your own “paperectomy” and get rid of all that paper that’s just taking up space.

5. Focus on the corners.

This is where it all drifts into… the corner of the bedroom, the corners of the ceilings. The corners are a magnet for stacks of papers. On the ceiling, the corners attract cobwebs. Clean all the corners you have, including the corners of the cabinets.

6. Go outside.

Rent a pressure washer and wash your house, sidewalks, patios, and driveways. Pressure washers are a home’s best friend. Think of it as a scrub for your home. You will love your shiny house.

7. Head to the top.

Clean the top of everything. This includes dressers, tables, counters, refrigerators, anything with a lid. It also means dusting the tops of windows, door trim, and the tops of baseboards. Dust loves to hide on top of things.

8. Get steamed.

Once a year, STEAM clean your carpets and upholstery. Why steam? It’s hot and it’s water so it will clean VERY well without damaging anything or leaving any kind of soap residue. That’s right, soap scum.

Many people clean their carpets or use carpet cleaning products from grocery stores only to find that they need to do it over and over again because the carpets get dirtier and dirtier faster.

Hmmmm… a conspiracy? No. Just soap that stays behind. And soap is sticky, right? Well, then, that’s where all the dirt is coming from: it’s getting stuck in all that soap left over from those cleaners. And while you’re at it, throw away all soap-based carpet cleaners.
