- Introduction: I have seen too many "messy homes" and I have a glimpse of the common problems of Chinese families. They are nothing more than the following four situations, which are really heartbreaking...
Everyone likes a clean and tidy living environment, and they also try to Keep your home clean and tidy.
But the current situation of most families is: neatness can only be maintained for a while, and clutter is the norm.
Why does this happen? I have seen too many "messy" homes, and I have a glimpse of the common problems of most Chinese families. They cannot escape these four situations, and they are all heartbreaking!
1. The whole family makes a mess at home, but only one person does the housework.
This is a very common situation, and many families are like this.
The hostess worked hard at home doing housework and tidied the house, but the male host turned a blind eye to all this when he returned home. He kicked his shoes around, threw his smelly socks around, and threw away his clothes.
After finishing the meal, he throws away the bowls and chopsticks, wipes his mouth and then collapses on the sofa to play with his mobile phone. If you ask him to mop the floor, he will say why the house is so clean; when you can't stand that the floor is so dirty, When you run to mop the floor, he will be impatient because the sound of your mopping affects his ability to check his phone.
When you and other people in your family have different requirements for the quality of life, the neatness you require may become troublesome and overly strict to others.
If they live alone, these women can definitely keep the house clean and tidy and keep it for a long time. But the problem is that there is a large family living together, but only one person does the housework. Keeping a home clean and tidy depends on the joint efforts of the whole family. You can't just sit back and do nothing, let alone disrespect the fruits of other people's work.
But we must not choose to muddle along because of this. We must believe that what we do will affect our families, especially children, in a subtle way. If a family loves cleanliness, their children will also love cleanliness. A sloppy family will definitely raise dirty children. This is the meaning of our persistence.
2. Excessive frugality and over-nostalgia
Many families are "cluttered" because the house is not big but there are many things. However, if you look closely at these things, you will find that they are all useless.
For example, the worn-out shoes in the hallway, the toys all over the floor in the living room, the unused small appliances in the kitchen, expired condiments, various cups, and plastic bags stuffed everywhere, and there is no room for them in the wardrobe. The clothes you don’t want to wear are all caused by people being too frugal and too nostalgic.
What’s even more outrageous is that some elderly people keep waste paper and plastic bottles at home, which not only takes up space and looks messy, but also breeds bacteria and is harmful to health. When you advise them to throw away the garbage, they will say that you don't know how to be diligent and thrifty. It’s a piece of waste that only costs a few cents per kilogram. It occupies a house worth tens of thousands per square meter. Is it really a good deal?
Although frugality is a traditional Chinese virtue, "excessive frugality" is really not worthy of praise. Everything you see is useful and you are reluctant to throw away everything. In the end, it will only overwhelm the whole family.
When you throw away these useless things, bravely take the first step of "breaking up", and watch the whole home become clean and simple, it feels really good.
3. Keen to buy, buy, buy, and consume irrationally
The previous point mentioned that we should boldly "throw away, throw away", so we must also "buy, buy, buy" sensibly.
Some families are keen on buying and buying, and their consumption is irrational, which will lead to the house being filled with all kinds of things, which naturally looks "messy".
Women love beauty. If you can't control your own hands and buy nice clothes, bags and shoes every day, no matter how big the wardrobe or shoe cabinet is, it won't be able to fit it. And after you buy it, you will find that after trying on many clothes once, you will never wear them again.
Children love toys. If adults are too pampering and the children buy whatever they want, then the whole house will be filled with toys. Moreover, children don’t necessarily need to play with the toys after they are bought. Many of them only last for three minutes, and then they are put aside to collect dust and take up space.
So no matter what you buy, you must think twice before buying: Is this thing a necessity? How long can it be used after buying it? Is it okay if I don’t buy it?
Instead of buying it as soon as your brain is hot, use it once and then leave it idle, causing the whole home to become messy.
4. Cleaning methods are too traditional
I have seen too many messy homes. A large part of the reason why their homes are messy is that the cleaning methods are too traditional.
First, mop the floor with clean water.
Not only is it not easy to mop clean, but it also gets dirty very quickly. Sometimes, watermarks are found all over the floor just after mopping. The thankless task is the drawback of traditional cleaning methods.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, you can understand that you need shampoo and shower gel to wash your hair and take a bath, but only use water for mopping the floor. No wonder it can't be washed clean.
Xiaopai recommends that you add one or two [floor cleaning tablets] when mopping the floor. It will dissolve quickly. Using this cleaning solution to mop the floor has a very obvious effect. It is better than adding washing powder, dish soap, shower gel, etc. by yourself. It’s much more convenient and easier to use.
floor cleaning tablets are formulated with surfactants and biodegradable enzymes, so even stubborn dirt can be easily broken down and removed.
Moreover, the floor cleaning tablets have a refreshing fragrance. When used to mop the floor, it can effectively remove the musty smell on the floor. After mopping, it will be fragrant and clean. It is really easy to use.
The second is to use a rag to wipe the kitchen grease.
Many people, including me, used to use a rag to wipe the oil stains in the kitchen, so I felt that it was very difficult to wipe away the oil stains in the kitchen. I couldn’t wipe them away cleanly. It was still greasy and greasy, and it was originally clean. The rag will also become greasy.
Not only that, greasy rags can easily produce odor, and your whole hands will smell after wiping them. Later I learned that the smelly rags indicate that they are moldy and have a lot of bacteria growing in them, so it is recommended to throw them away immediately.
Because Xiaopai recommends everyone to use [Kitchen Cleaning Wipes]. Kitchen cleaning wipes contain concentrated decontamination ingredients, which have a particularly strong cleaning effect and are very convenient and efficient to use.
Whether you are cleaning the stove or range hood and other kitchen oil stains, you can use kitchen cleaning wipes. There is no need to wash them after use, just throw them away, which is very convenient.
The third is to use steel wool to wipe the pots.
There are often some stubborn stains in the kitchen. If they are not cleaned up, the whole home will look dirty and messy. Just like the bottom of a pot is easy to burn and blacken after being used for a long time, it is more troublesome to clean.
Many people like to use steel wool to scrub. They feel that the friction of steel wool is very strong, and as long as "strong force works a miracle", the stains will be cleaned. As a result, not only the bottom of the pot is not cleaned, but the whole hand is also very rough.
In fact, it doesn’t need to be that troublesome at all. Just use the pot bottom decontamination paste to easily remove stains on the bottom of the pot. Because the pot bottom decontamination paste contains natural river sand extract, rust and decontamination factors, and plant active agents, cleaning the pot bottom becomes easy in an instant.
The method of use is very simple. You only need to take out an appropriate amount of decontamination paste and apply it on the surface of the object to be cleaned, and then wipe it with a cleaning cotton several times. The stain will disappear at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Whether you use pot bottom cleaning paste to clean the bottom of the pot or clean the gas stove, it is very easy to use. After wiping it, it will look like new. The more you wipe it, the less worry you will have!
[Written at the end]
I have seen too many "messy homes", which are nothing more than the above four common problems. How many of them have you been told?
If you have these problems in your home, you must correct them in time. It feels really good to see your home become tidy and your life return to simplicity!
