A Lazy Person's Guide To Managing The Housework

There are all kinds of things you could be doing with your time.

You could sit on your sofa, binge-watching Netflix. Or you could be kicking back with a cuppa and a good book. Excellent ideas both. But you won't get time to do much of either if you have a pile of household chores to get on with. This might be frustrating for you, especially if you, as the title suggests, border on the size of laziness when it comes to anything that appears chore-like. 

Still, that is where we come in. Here is our 'lazy person's guide to managing the housework.'


#1: Bless your home with easier-to-clean features
Are you forever vacuuming your carpets? Are you tired of getting on your hands and knees to scrub out drink spills from your coffee cup or wine glass? You wouldn't have to spend much time doing either if you opted for laminate or hardwood flooring, as cleaning up would then be a doddle. Are you forever trying to get stains out of your sofas and chairs? If you added washable furniture covers, this wouldn't be as big a problem for you.

More detail here,  http://www.lifeappears.com/home/, so have a read. And then research other ideas online on household features that will give you an easier-to-clean home. 

#2: Take steps to keep dirt out
From the debris you collect on your shoes to the muddy pawprints of your pets, you are going to see an increase in your housework if there is dirt forever being walked into your home. Therefore, make your life easier with a dirt-catching doormat - visit https://www.flooring.uk.com/mats - and set up a cleaning station near your pet's entry points, so they don't have the opportunity to dirty up your best carpets and furnishings.

#3: Buy a robot vacuum
People are panicking about robots taking over the world, but hey, if they do the housework for us, then it's not all bad! Check out the robot vacuums at https://uk.bestreviews.guide/ and pick up something within your price range. All you need to do is turn them on, and they will busily get to work picking up all of the dirt and debris that has intruded into your home. Some of them even have mopping capabilities so set them to work in your kitchen and bathroom too! Meanwhile, you can set about with your binge-watching or reading, as you will finally have the opportunity to put your feet up.

#4: Declutter your home
It makes sense really, as the less stuff you have, the less there will be to clean or put away. So, if you haven't had a decluttering session recently, spend a day or two going through your home, and pick out anything you might want to throw, donate, or sell. And if you opt for the selling option, you might also make enough money to buy one of the robot vacuums we mentioned or to hire yourself a cleaner! Check out https://www.becomingminimalist.com/ for some useful decluttering tips.

With these ideas, you won't have to do very much at all when it comes to the housework. Just the thing if you really can't be bothered to lift a finger!

Thanks for reading, and enjoy your downtime!
