▲ This blogger’s clean and spotless kitchen
What everyone usually sees is the picture of her house being spotless and just like a model room.
But this time, she "confessed": Behind those clean pictures are actually extremely messy daily lives.
▲ Behind the scenes is the hard work of mother and daughter cleaning up after busy work.
In order to keep a shot clean and tidy every day, she and her mother spent almost all their time and energy... To maintain such a life for a long time, it is too anxious, She was too tired, so she reconciled with herself and had a showdown with her fans!
Unexpectedly, because of this "confession", she gained more fans' attention and resonated with many people. Many people said: Thank you for your honesty, it makes me no longer anxious. This is the truest appearance of life, come on!
▲This picture is so real
In fact, many ordinary people in life are not like this. They excessively pursue a "clean and spotless" home, making housework the heaviest burden on themselves...
I originally bought a house and decorated it. In order to enjoy a better life, they have become "slaves to housework" and their happiness continues to decrease.
If you are also worried about this, I suggest you read this article carefully.
Let go of your obsession with being "spotless" and follow your older cousin to learn "Foolish housework" . I believe you will find out what it means to be "so cool" ~
No longer wash the fan by hand
▲ Wash the fan once before, come back again Temper
After I learned to "do housework in a fool-like manner", I no longer wash the fan by hand, because it is really hard and troublesome. Every time after cleaning the various parts of the fan and then assembling it, I would quarrel with my husband.
I am not afraid of everyone’s jokes, because after almost 6 years of marriage, he has never washed the fan at home once. I wash it all...
▲Before cleaning (the fan is now directly handed over to the dishwasher)
Now I start to talk to myself " Compromised", stopped getting angry, and stopped counting on his teammates.
After moving into my new home, I bought a dishwasher without hesitation and replaced the fan with an easy-to-remove style. When it gets dirty, just dismantle it and throw it into the dishwasher, and just "clean it in a fool's style".
▲After cleaning
I didn’t expect that the fan cleaned by the dishwasher is cleaner than washing by hand. It’s so cool!
Leave the floor hygiene to the all-in-one washing and mopping robot
▲There is really no need to pursue this function
In order to keep my home spotless, I even bought a vacuum cleaner with "optical dust scanning" function, just to keep the dust nowhere to escape. shape.
Who knows, this aggravates my anxiety about housework. As soon as I turn on this function, I will find that the floor at home will be dirty as long as it is not swept for a day. Even a little dust will become particularly obvious under this kind of light...
▲ It wasn’t that dirty at first, but after taking a photo, I felt it was so dirty that I wanted to cry.
After I learned the “foolish housework”, this “high-end vacuum cleaner” has been almost idle by me.
replaced it with an all-in-one washing and drying robot. He just goes to work every day and lets it automatically sweep and mop the floor. Occasionally, I just need to "foolishly" clean the blind spots on the ground that the robot cannot enter.
▲ Use it before and after vacuuming and mopping the floor
Although it was "sick" when I bought it, thinking about how much manpower it saves in a year, it is really a "good deal".
Non-dirty clothes are no longer washed in time
In the past, I really "cannot tolerate sand" in my eyes. I could not stand my family members throwing their worn clothes on the bed and sofa. As long as they could be washed, I would They immediately picked them up and threw them into the washing machine, adding a lot of housework burden.
▲ Overnight clothes do not need to be washed in time and are not messy.
After learning to do housework in a "foolish way", I will no longer rush to wash clothes that have been worn once but are not dirty and do not need to be washed on the same day.
set up a "secondary clean clothes area" at home and purchased this "secondary clean clothes hanger" with pulleys at the bottom. Clothes that are not in a hurry to be washed can be hung neatly to save space and will not look messy due to piles.
▲The upper part is used as a clothes basket and the lower part is used as a basket for dirty clothes and shoes.
When cleaning is needed, there is no need to tidy up each room one by one. I push the clean clothes hangers to the washing machine on the balcony and clean them all together. Clothes can be hung on the top, and the bottom can be used as a dirty clothes basket, and shoes can be placed at the bottom. Moved to the balcony, it can also be used as a spare floor-standing clothes hanger .
Throw away the bathroom trash can
In the past, I was always worried about "toilet paper clogging the toilet" and I was very anxious. constantly always told her son and husband not to throw toilet paper into the toilet and flush it away, but to throw it into the trash can next to it.
▲Wall-hung trash cans still treat the symptoms but not the root cause
At the same time, in order to pursue the cleanliness and tidiness next to the toilet, I even used the "trash can suspension technique" and racked my brains to change the floor-standing trash can into a "wall-hung trash can". But it still treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
▲Water-soluble toilet paper should be used
▲It will be washed away by the water pressure in the toilet (water-soluble test)
After learning to "foolishly do housework", I simply threw away the bathroom trash can.
Because I discovered that toilet paper actually has a special "water-soluble" style which can be flushed directly into the toilet after use. It can be washed away by water without blocking the toilet.
▲Pack sanitary napkins in separate garbage bags and throw them away
When I need to use sanitary napkins, I put a thick black garbage bag that can be tied next to the toilet and throw it away once a day. It’s so worry-free and clean after removing the trash can in the bathroom!
Quit Mildew Gel
I cannot tolerate the mold stains on glass glue around the sink at all. So I always keep products like mildew removal gel at home, but gradually I found that I had fallen into the "trap" of the merchants.
▲It treats the symptoms but not the root cause, and mold reappears
Because it treats the symptoms but not the root cause, I have to use one bottle every two months, and I have to keep buying it for a year, which is not a small expense.
▲Moldproof glass glue can be used for many years without mold.
In fact, the source problem is: Because the glass glue used to close the seams in the bathroom at home is all low-quality glass glue that is not moldproof.
After I shoveled them all off, I bought a bottle of more expensive anti-mold glass glue and reapplied it, and I no longer had to worry about mold. Occasionally I wiped it foolishly, sometimes I forgot to wipe it and soaked it in water, but it never got moldy again.
▲Look for the kitchen and bathroom ones with the anti-mold mark
. In fact, a bottle of high-grade high-quality anti-mold glass glue only costs more than 30 yuan. Isn’t it better to just do it once and for all with ? What kind of mildew removal gel is there? It’s troublesome and expensive.
Don’t clean the floor mats when they are dirty
I still always have absorbent floor mats in my bathroom, but now I don’t clean them as often as before.
It's too tiring to wash it once a week, so it's better to just "fool" it. Instead of buying expensive and hard diatom mud floor mats, just buy ordinary soft absorbent floor mats worth about ten yuan, which are not easy to get dirty and feel comfortable on your feet.
▲Soft absorbent floor mats, cheap and easy to care for.
If they become dirty after a period of time, there is no need to clean them. You can just throw them away without feeling distressed.
Of course, you can also choose not to use any floor mats, which will make housework easier to "fool". (It's just that I personally have developed the habit of using absorbent pads)
refuses to over-storage
The new home has been renovated and all the wardrobes have reserved a lot of hanging areas. After moving, I rarely fold clothes anymore. Not only will it get creased over time, but it's also troublesome and easy to mess up when taking out the clothes.
▲Don't fold the clothes, put them away and hang them directly
The "foolish" method is to take the clothes off the clothes drying rack and hang them directly in the closet, which saves a lot of housework. As for small items such as underwear, they are not stacked. Each person has a small drawer and can be put directly in it.
▲ Try to buy non-iron shirts
and I rarely iron the shirts I usually wear at work, because most of the shirts I buy now are non-iron styles. Just wash them and dry them and wear them directly. Neat and straight.
▲Tofu block-style refrigerator storage
I no longer envy the tofu block-style "textbook storage".
Only after experiencing it did I realize that this is just for taking pictures. looks spotless, but in fact it takes a lot of time to sort and find items every time. The boxes after use have to be cleaned and disinfected, which is too hard.
▲My random refrigerator storage
Take my refrigerator as an example. I will no longer buy a bunch of expensive and useless storage boxes. The fruits, meats and vegetables bought by just need to be neatly arranged when stored. As long as they are not thrown around, they will still be clean and tidy, and they will be clear and easy to access.
For us ordinary people, the meaning of storage is to maximize the efficiency of life and do it as conveniently as possible, rather than just to take pictures and look good.
Reduce the use of rags and towels
In addition to kitchen rags and bath towels. I ditched the bathroom rags and face towels.
▲It is troublesome to dry towels and rags
In the past, in order to keep the bathroom clean and tidy, I would not hang rags and towels in the bathroom after use. I would wash them separately and take them to the balcony to dry and fold them before use. When the time comes, I take it out of the cabinet again and again, which is very troublesome.
After learning to "fool around with housework", I began to use pure cotton disposable face wipes instead of rags and towels.
▲ It is recommended to choose the AB side face towel
Although it is called "disposable", every time you use it to wipe your face, it only absorbs water and is not dirty. I will collect these used face wipes and reuse them as rags.
▲ Wipe the faucet, wipe the toilet, wipe the countertop, wipe the glass
For example, a used pure cotton face towel can be used to wipe the water on the table, wipe off the scale on the faucet, and wipe the toilet seat after wiping the wash area. ,toilet lid.
▲You can also brush the toilet (with a stainless steel long-arm clamp)
Finally, with the long-arm clamp, it can also be used to replace the toilet brush to clean the dirt on the inner wall. The key is to throw it away directly after use. It is clean and hygienic. Pure cotton is biodegradable and does not pollute the environment.
In this way, there is no need to hang a lot of towels, dirty rags, or even a toilet brush in the bathroom, making it neat and tidy and saving trouble.
Here are two tips for you:
▲Second use, put it on the dust box filter
①After drying the used pure cotton face towel, you can also put it on the dust box filter of the vacuum cleaner.
▲If it is dirty, remove it and throw it away directly. There is no need to clean the filter.
In this way, when the dust box is dirty, you don’t need to clean the filter. The dust is all on the cotton towel. Just remove it and throw it away. It is very clean. save trouble.
▲There is a slot at the bottom of the mirror cabinet, pass through the tissue box
②If you plan to buy a mirror cabinet during decoration, it is recommended to tell the merchant in advance to open a slot for the bottom, put the face towel upside down in the mirror cabinet, pass it through the slot, and take out Just smoke it when you use it. It's beautiful, invisible and doesn't take up space. The key is that it's convenient to use.
▲ Get an invisible paper import and use it at will

All walks of life are becoming more and more " inside ", and the pace of life is getting faster and faster. Wanting to live in a clean and tidy home, but having trouble affording heavy housework is the "contradiction" of many modern families.
