The trick to keeping things decluttered is constant maintenance. If you get a pair of scissors to use then the minute you are done using them you need to put them away. Once a week I hit every surface in my house and JUST PUT THINGS AWAY. If there is something that doesn't have a spot to go then I make a home for it to always go back to.
Whatever you're doing when you can spare 5 mins. Get up and do something around the house. This is mainly something that helps those who are not able to manage an hour at a time or more. I have to say I am not able to live in any way with clutter. I am severely suffering from pain. 5 mins are all I have at times.
Before you sleep go to make sure the kitchen sink is cleaned. Practice makes perfect. Start slow and it will become a habit. Empty all you trash cans the same day. Not including the kitchen. It should be out when full. No wet food in the trash. it goes out in a little bag the same day.
Buy alcohol fill a spray bottle label it. Leave it by the toilet practice washing the toilets a few times a week. I was each time I have a guest and after bowels movements. I know that is about much. I have my reasons. I have no shoe policy so the floors are mopped once a week by my aide and when I I want to.
I have two bathrooms so one has the access to the laundry. One shower I don't use to shower in. I toss items that need washing that following day in the tub. Shut the curtain and that stuff washes in the am. I don't have a typical washer and dryer. No I am not washing by hand. lol
If you have others in the home it's a must even adults. Wash your dishes some people feel the need to do it all. No way anyone able to make a mess can learn to clean a mess. small kids can do their share. I sand barneys song. clean up..clean up and you get the rest. good luck.
I am disabled and I am sorry but, I have close friends like everyone else. except my friends are close enough to me where they can wash their own dishes. And a few of them clean the toilet as well after use. Safety first..it makes them have a comfortable place to spend time.
