I am not a morning person. I am not a Monday person, either. That's okay! The idea behind 7 Day to Clean is that you won't have to do a whole lot to have a clean house every day. It's about creating habits that will let you easily maintain or gradually improve how clean your home is without feeling like you need to go on a quasi-meth addled cleaning binge. So let's get started!
Today, make your bed when you get up. That's it!
Your bed is most likely the largest piece of furniture in your bedroom. It only takes a couple of minutes to make a bed, but it has a huge impact on how clean a room looks. I think of this as "freebie" cleaning. Your bedroom will look almost clean and you will have spent all of two minutes today cleaning.
Think of making your bed when you get up in the morning like a gift to your future self, that person who is going to drag through the door at the end of a long day. You won't have to deal with scattered pillows, skewed covers, or sheets that are wadded up at the foot of the bed (if you sleep anything like I do). After dinner you can jump in your pjs, slide under the covers and be rested for tomorrow!
Where's the "agree" button?! Probably the only trick I've perfected in keeping the house clean & organized.
