General cleaning in the house begins like a small revolution, but it does not always meet expectations. Yes, the windows shine and the carpet is washed, but the closets are still full of unnecessary things. How can you say goodbye to them without regret? There are proven methods for effective cleaning in the home… and in life.

The Science of Order

The process of bringing order is not as simple as it seems. General cleaning requires a plan and strict adherence to it. The Japanese tidying expert Marie Kondo has devoted years to studying, analyzing, and developing tidying methods. Her book “The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up” is in huge demand. Moreover, Marie visits clients at home and helps them put everything in order. In practice, for many people only the “KonMari” method really helped to achieve the desired order. What are its secrets? First of all, that cleaning is seen not just as domestic labor, but as a magical ritual of purifying your home, a motivation for change. Each rule of her method, besides practical advice, also carries a psychological message.

Rule #1. Tidy up step by step and not by rooms, but by categories of things. This way of sorting items is much more effective. Today, go through all the books in your apartment; tomorrow—clothes. While sorting items, put them into separate piles. If there’s a defect—send it to the trash pile. If the item is usable and in good condition—a separate pile. Of course, with this approach you won’t clean your apartment quickly, but the result will surprise you and help you maintain order for a long time.

Rule #2. Live only with what brings you joy. The philosophy of proper cleaning says that you should keep only those items that bring positive feelings. If an item does not evoke any emotion in you, most likely you do not use it either. Time to say goodbye.

Rule #3. “What is junk for one person is a rare treasure for another.” After sorting your things into piles, find them a proper and worthy use. Wash clothes in good condition and give them to people in need; old blankets can be used at animal shelters; unwanted books can be donated to libraries or recycled.

Rule #4. Everything in its place! After thoroughly sorting out your closets, you will free up plenty of space. The remaining items should be organized as conveniently as possible. Think about which item locations created inconvenience before—and change them. Things you rarely use should go into closed compartments; things for daily use should be kept within reach.

What do we gain after cleaning?

In a tidy home you don’t waste time searching for things among clutter; it’s easier to maintain order; the interior and decorative details become more noticeable; style can be felt. And there’s also a wonderful belief: if you want something new—get rid of the old, make space for it. General cleaning won’t bring global changes to your life, but it will definitely affect your outlook on the world. It teaches us to choose what is truly important and meaningful from our surroundings, say goodbye to what’s no longer relevant, let go of oppressive emotions and memories. Quite possibly, a big cleaning at home is a message from deep within our soul wishing us to make positive changes.
