The calendar says November so that only means one thing… this month we are going to look at small tasks everyday of November, so you can get organised, cleaned and styled before Christmas is here. We have kept it simple and manageable as we want you to embrace and enjoy and not see November as a month of chores!

1. Keep organised

Make sure to clean up and organise your home. This can be done by making sure that your home only contains things that are creating value for you and your family. This is applicable in windowsills, drawers and your wardrobe, too. Use a day to get organised and you’ll experience keeping your home in order will be much more manageable. The most important thing to remember is to prepare your cleaning, so it won’t be stressful – split up the cleaning over the days of the week.

TIP: make your home nice and make sure that it feels safe and comfy for you and your family. You can do this my lighting candles or having fresh flowers out.

2. Use the dish washer and washing machine.

I wash many things in my dish washer such as accessories for the extractor hood, dryer and washing machine. The dryer needs cleaning more than you thinks and the drawer for laundry soap in your washing machine can contain much soap residue and bacteria. Toys, trinkets and other inventory can easily handle a trip to the dish washer. Letting the dish washer do the work can save you a bunch of time in a busy life.

 TIP: a lot of toys and trinkets can handle the dish washer – then it’s almost as new.

3. Clean a bit every day

Never leave your home without having cleared the sink for dishes, made your bed, put away laundry and walked through the home. Tidy every room and make sure that the laundry is not a mess and put away and that the dish washer has been emptied or running. I promise it will all be worth the effort, when you get back home and you might have your hands full.
