I don't know when we start to get lost in busyness and tiredness. We often complain about the endless chores that we do every day, why do other people's chores take half an hour to do while you have to be busy for a short day.
And when I started to try a minimalist life, I realized that many of the housework was self-made. With the rise of living standards, we unconsciously add a lot of items to our home, and too many items will become our burden.
Plunging us into endless busyness and internal friction, your mountain of clothes can give you a headache when the seasons change. Too many kitchen utensils in the kitchen have to be wiped every day, and even small chores can break you down.
As a result, you don't have a rest on your rest day, and our lives shouldn't be so tired, so I gradually understand that some housework is really not necessary to do at all, take my family as an example, these 6 housework, I don't need to do it at all.
1. Cover the cabinet and drawer with pad paper
Sometimes we only need to use our brains, and we can save a lot of trouble. Before, I had to vacate all the things in the cabinets and drawers every once in a while, and then wipe the dust inside, especially the 4 corners are quite difficult to wipe.
When it comes to minimalist life, we can also use simplicity to control complexity. It is necessary to lay an extra piece of paper in the drawers and cabinets, so that it is easy to clean up.
If the drawers and cabinets are dirty, you can take out the pad paper directly and shake it off, which is a lot more convenient, so as to protect the cabinet from being worn, prolong the service life, moisture and dirt barrier, and have many benefits.
2. Don't lay tablecloths
Although the tablecloth is an artifact to enhance the atmosphere, it is indeed a lot better. But those who live at home will inevitably drip on the tablecloth when we usually eat fruits when we eat them.
If you wash it every day, it will be a lot of work, and if you only wash it once for a long time, it will be difficult to wash the stains on it, so for convenience, it is recommended not to use a tablecloth.
Today's tables are oil-proof and scald-proof, and if the desktop is dirty, you can directly wipe it with a rag, which also saves the burden of washing the tablecloth. And so on, there is also a layer of cloth on the microwave oven, a layer of cloth on the refrigerator, and all of them are removed.
3. Throw away carpets and floor mats
A lot of things don't need to be unaware of the trouble, some seemingly beautiful things, post-cleaning and care problems are really maddening. Laying carpets in the living room, I believe many families have done such things,
But it's really tiring to clean, we often sit in the living room to eat snacks, and children will also sit on the carpet to play, so the carpet is really easy to hide dirt and dirt, and you have to vacuum it every day, even so, after a long time of stepping on the carpet, it will be dirty.
This is the most headache, you must take the carpet to the bathroom, clean it with water, and those bathroom mats, bedroom mats have to be cleaned at three ends of three days, otherwise it will be all slippers prints, really can't be seen.
Therefore, these mats were removed directly, and the housework was reduced by half, leaving only a floor mat in the entrance, which was enough to change shoes when entering the door.
4. Toilet mat that gets wet easily
Most families are accustomed to putting a toilet mat on the toilet in case they sit on it in winter, and my family is no exception. But when I used it in the summer, I threw it away, because my bathroom is not dry and wet separation.
Therefore, the toilet cover is often wet because of the shower, and then the toilet cover must be replaced with the rhythm of the bath, and sometimes men's urine dripping on it will have a peculiar smell.
Therefore, cleaning the toilet sleeve is also a matter of two ends in three days, and then it was simply removed, and I suddenly felt that the three seconds when my butt felt cold when I first made the toilet bowl could be overcome.
5. Cover the sofa cushions
The light-colored fabric sofa I used at home was chosen because of its good breathability and cheap price, while the leather sofa was expensive, not to mention that it was cool in winter and hot in summer, but the disadvantage of the fabric sofa was that it was easy to get dirty, even if the original sofa cover could be disassembled and cleaned.
But it's very troublesome, so for the sake of convenience. At this time, you can lay a layer of sofa cushions, so that if the cushion is dirty, you can just throw it into the washing machine and wash it.
6. Throw away large plants
In the past, I thought that putting some big plants in the house would be more atmospheric and vibrant. But these big plants are too laborious to raise, and some plants like light and ventilation, but they can't be too sunny.
So often have to move these big plants around, today from the balcony to the living room, tomorrow from the living room to the balcony, each plant has to be carefully served, it is also very difficult to change the soil, and it is another day to get busy.
summary
After throwing away these things, we found that it was really a lot easier, but always throwing things can not solve the fundamental problem, we still have to learn to consume rationally, and consider many aspects when buying, so as not to waste money.
