Minimalist cleaning is the art of making one’s surroundings easily livable-that is, to be neat
and tidy in a few steps without much effort. In creating an even easier place to clean and
live, however, one can easily focus on the important and get rid of all that is unnecessary;
this, in fact, is the beauty of structure.
Cleaning minimalistically starts with clutter removal. Depersonalize yourself from those
things that have no practical application or those that no longer spark joy in you. This, aside
from reducing the amount of dirt and grime to be cleaned, will make focusing on the task at
hand easier. For every new thing that you want to acquire, get rid of the old one. ‘One in,
one out’.
Thirdly, it is followed by more comprehensive cleaning from time to time. A minimalist
sense of caring about the house does not mean lesser cleaning; proper cleaning is actually
done efficiently. Cleaning up after daily tasks has some merits. It helps in time
management and in the reduction of cleaning factors that require more than usual washes,
such as spring cleaning.
Purchase general-purpose cleaners and cleaning instruments. Instead, it will make much
more sense to purchase all-purpose cleaners rather than having all clothes cleaners for
every material. Not only does this help avoid clutter, but it also makes cleaning easier.
This is the paradigm shift that completes this puzzle. When cleaning, having in mind a
minimalistic approach then means lesser quantity but more quality. The effect of
organization that can be carried out on space is one interesting aspect.
