Evening routine for cleaning the house

In a previous article, we discussed a morning cleaning routine that suits your different needs, and in this article, we will discuss an evening routine to help you get an organized and easy-to-clean home after a long day. It is normal for the house to not be organized enough, especially if you are a family with small children or school-age children. We will try to help you with a simple evening routine that when followed you will be able to maintain a comfortable and welcoming environment for you and your family members. Usually at the end of the day you feel tired and all you think about is lying down or sleeping and wanting to rest, but we assure you that waking up to the sight of an organized house makes an amazing difference in your energy in the morning. You'll notice that the evening routine is much easier and shorter, so don't worry.

1. Arranging the kitchen

It is preferable to start the evening routine by tidying up the kitchen, the cleaner your kitchen is, the more you will maintain a house free of insects. We start by disposing of food waste, arranging the table, placing dishes and utensils to be cleaned in the dishwasher. Then pack the excess leftovers in the refrigerator cans and keep them on the upper shelves so that we take advantage of them first and not forget about them in the lower shelves.

Clean the surface of the stove and buttons. Then wash the utensils or utensils to be washed by hand, and then clean the sink itself. Dry the pot and put it in place so that your kitchen is tidy in the morning. Clean tables and surfaces with multi-purpose cleaner and finally sweep the kitchen floor to make sure that the leftovers that were scattered while cooking the food are eliminated before they are collected and stick to the floor and therefore will need more effort to get rid of them. It would be nice to hear music during the arrangement. The evening routine is slow, because unlike in the morning, you're not in a hurry.

2- Preparing tomorrow's meals without cooking

In a previous article, we also talked to you about preparing a weekly meal schedule, so if you follow it, you know what you will cook the next day, so after cleaning the kitchen, you can soak the beans or take the meat out of the freezer, which you intend to cook the next day. You won't need to cook or prepare food, but this step will save you a lot of time cooking lunch the next day. If the weather is hot, you can leave the meat in the cooler after taking it out of the freezer to make sure it is not damaged and take it out in the morning.

3. Arranging toys and children's books

While tidying up the kitchen, ask your classmates to arrange the toys in their places and their books as well. It may be difficult at first to train children to take care of their own things, but remember that all habits are difficult at the beginning.

The truth is that children are more routine-loving and easier to train in daily routines than adults. Train them on a daily routine to arrange their personal belongings of toys and books, as well as reward them for following the routine at the end of the week with encouraging words daily. You can agree with them in advance on the reward and consequences if they do not arrange their belongings.

But the child's condition and daily circumstances must be taken into account, for example if you invite guests and their children and the visit is prolonged, your children will feel tired at the end of the day, you can arrange toys on this day or allow them to arrange them in the morning if the next day is off.

4. Arrangement of the living room

We spend a large part of the day in the living room, so the living room is the most tidy room. Tidy up the room by putting things in place and tidying up pillows and other belongings. After the children organize their belongings, you will find that tidying up the living room is easier and faster, so you will have finished the evening routine, which is followed with the morning routine, the cleaning process will become simple and fast.
