The floor in the nursery is littered with toys, and under the feet are crunching small details from the designer and pieces of puzzles? The picture, no doubt, familiar to every parent. So it's time to clean! And our life hacks will help you clean up the nursery quickly and effortlessly.
The number one enemy when cleaning the baby’s room is “quiet trash”: things and toys from which the child has already grown, but it’s a pity to throw them away. They are stored on shelves, in drawers and nightstands, chests of drawers and shelves, gradually replacing toys and items suitable for age. As the child grows, the amount of "quiet trash" increases, but after all, there is no more room in the apartment. And not everybody has a summer residence, to which some of unnecessary things can be taken out. So what to do? There are few options: give, sell or throw away. Choose the one that is closest to you - and for the cause! Otherwise, you won’t even notice how all this “let it lie, sorry to throw it away” occupies your apartment.
Well, now back to our task. It is best to restore order in the nursery in the evening: there are more chances that the order will last at least until the next morning. First of all, we prepare the necessary equipment: a large box or basket for large toys, several containers for small items and a garbage bag. Now we pretend the front of work and proceed!
Lifehack number 1
The best cleaning assistant is a good mood. Turn on your favorite music and set a timer for 20 minutes - during this period you can manage to do a lot and not waste all your strength. When the allotted time comes to an end, stop and evaluate the result. If you still have strength - continue. If you feel tired, it is best to leave it as it is and finish cleaning in the morning.
Lifehack number 2
Get your child to help. Of course, you can do it yourself, but you don’t plan to clean the nursery yourself throughout your life. Child need gradually accustom to cleaning. You can ask him, for example, to collect all the details from the designer into a container. Children seek to help their parents in everything. The main thing is to direct this desire in the right direction. Now that the child is in action, you can safely continue to restore order.
Lifehack number 3
Take a large basket or box and collect all the large toys into it: cars, dolls, teddy bears, dogs and other “treasures” of your child.You can think about how to store them in a more organized way a bit later: a separate box for soft toys, a separate one for cars or dolls.
Lifehack number 4
Fold in a separate container books that are already torn or are no longer interesting to your child - you will think about how to deal with them (stick, throw or give away) later. Books that have not yet had time to bother the baby can be put on the shelf - only so that the child himself can reach them.
Lifehack number 5
Put in a separate container all the small things that you still haven’t managed to figure out: pens, pencils, chips and cards from board games, parts from toys and puzzles. You will definitely decide their fate, but this can be done a little later.
Lifehack number 6
And now it's the turn of the garbage bag. Ruthlessly send him all the paper scraps, candy wrappers, old coloring books and broken toys. Let's be honest: if you did not fix the machine right after it broke, then most likely you will never repair it.
Finished? Now look around - for sure, the children's room began to look much cleaner and tidier. And if you arrange such quick cleanings daily, then very soon cleaning up will take you much less time and effort.
