A calm and organized back to school inspired by Marie Kondo’s instructions

Suitcases are still lying in a corner, dust is gathering under the couch, and crumpled clothes in the dressing room form a dizzying pile that we prefer to ignore… The holidays are over, but out. the question of being burdened. So, to rhyme with back-to-school calm, we’re rolling up our sleeves. If that sounds daunting, doing a big cleaning at the end of summer is also a way to clear your mind and reduce feelings of anxiety. All you have to do is step into Marie Kondo’s shoes and clean, tidy and clean efficiently. Instructions for restoration in peace.

Dirty…

Decluttering allows you to avoid clutter taking up residence in the home in the first place. And it is impossible to bring order without saying goodbye to certain possessions. To do this, we solve the clutter conveniently hidden in the closets.

To ensure an organized return to school, we sort our clothes, whether we’re donating them or throwing them away. So we empty our closets, drawers, and pantries and evaluate what we still actually wear. In his worldwide bestseller, The magic of storage (1), Marie Kondo advises to take each piece in your hands and appreciate its feel; Have I worn it in recent months? If yes, then we store it, if not, exit.

Another infallible piece of advice from Marie Kondo. After carefully folding the clothes, store them vertically in drawers, then arrange the darker pieces at the back with the gaps facing you. At a glance to appreciate what you have. This also applies to children’s clothing, which will also be sorted.

Ten tips for a neat interior in the video

Your shelves struggle to close, crumbling under tons of dried nail polish, practically empty sunscreen, and questionable makeup. It’s time to part with your old cosmetics and other broken makeup palettes. Still in the words of storage guru Marie Kondo, after assessing what you want to keep and discarding what’s out of date, you organize your items according to their nature. So creams are combined with creams, we collect hair products and put cotton balls and cotton swabs in a beautiful container. When it comes to makeup, we take the opportunity to clean our brushes and group lipsticks, eyeshadows, and mascaras in small boxes or even a fork divider.

You want to make a simple risotto, and now you’re emptying your cupboard to get to your favorite oven, creating such a cacophony that the joy of cooking has already dissipated. It’s time to part, sometimes with difficulty, from chipped dishes, mugs without handles and robots that haven’t been seen since 1996. Then think about making a themed storage, for example, with a shelf for glasses and another for glasses. When everything is organized, simply put the object back in its place. Then preparing a meal to take to the office will be child’s play.

With the start of the school year, we are also thinking about sorting through our supplies. We collect packages, bags and notebooks and get out the pens, markers and markers that the ghost gave us. A way to avoid unnecessary shopping and relieve the stress of poor organization on the eve of the start of the school year.

In the video, the Bisu method, this trick that helps us clean out our closets

… and clean

Your cleaning routine is over, but your house still doesn’t look spotless. This may be because dust, dirt and grease are hidden in corners that we are not used to seeing every day. Handbook:

• Thinking about forgotten corners

Dust under furniture, on hidden surfaces and even on walls is almost epidemic. If you regularly use a microfiber cloth, thorough cleaning can significantly reduce its presence in the fireplace.

First step, move the furniture. So you remove your refrigerator and carefully remove the sheep on the back grill, a gesture that should be accepted if you want to reduce your electricity consumption. The same applies to the washing machine: we move it and remove the gray mass hidden there before emptying (every quarter, yes, yes). Not forgetting the high surfaces above the cupboards, refrigerator, shelves.

Often forgotten, we also think of deep cleaning the library, where books tend to absorb a surprising amount of dust. Blackberries also require a wipe, even a magic sponge for those who don’t already know this essential.

To ensure a healthy daily life and a peaceful return to school, we are busy cleaning all cars thoroughly. That’s why we choose natural cleaning products. When it comes to the kitchen, we think about desalinizing the kettle, coffee machine and dishwasher. Carpets, curtains, decorative pillows, sofas and mattresses are cleaned by fabric. How about starting the school year off on the right foot?
