There’s always that one friend or family member whose house is always sparkling clean no matter what. Whenever you visit them, the house is always so arranged and tidy that you can even “eat in their bathrooms.” People with clean homes are peculiar, and their habits distinguish them.
If this isn’t you, you might have asked yourself, “how do they do it?” We’ll let you in on a secret. It takes constant actions carried out over time until it becomes a habit. Once this habit is formed, it will be hard for you to be caught in a dirty house.

So what are these habits of people with clean homes and how do we learn them? I made a list.
They Sweep Everyday
Keeping your house clean is easy or hard (depending on how you look at it) but it requires you to sweep or vacuum your house every day.
When you go out, your shoes carry a lot of sand from the streets and it gets into your house. If you have pets or kids, it’s even worse as they play in the sand and bring a lot of it back inside.
The next time you see someone picking up a broom as you’re about to leave their house, don’t take it to heart, they’re just trying to keep their house clean.
They Always Make Their Beds
A room will not look clean and tidy if the bed is scattered. In fact, I’d argue that making your bed forces you to arrange the other parts of your room.
If the bed is made, you wouldn’t be comfortable throwing things like clothes on it. Making your bed every morning is also good for learning other habits as it teaches you how to form a habit by doing one thing repeatedly (at least that’s what they say in the military).
They Clean As They Cook
Clean kitchens are key to clean homes. Clean people always clean their kitchen as they’re cooking. That way, the kitchen doesn’t have to be filled with dirty plates and pots. They clean tabletops, cutlery, pans and everything used in the kitchen during the process or once they’re done.
They do not stack plates in the sink for days till they grow moulds or all the flies in the neighbourhood come to feast on them.
They Have A Laundry Day
Picking a specific day to do laundry allows you to settle into a routine that is good for you. It is advisable to make it weekly.
With this habit, your clothes will always be sorted and you’ll never run out of clean clothes to wear. In essence, you don’t have to sniff that black shirt three times before you wear it because you washed it last week and you’re sure that it’s clean.
