to clean 6 Tips to organize and keep children & # 39; coins

The children returned to school last week, and you know what that means? It's time to clean the room!

It is always that the rooms of my children collect scrap metal. hidden candy wrappers, bits of recent scientific experiments do not match socks and unfinished art projects are just one example of what lives there.

I know I can not be alone in this mess room. I have a few tips on how to get free room cluttered their children for the new year.

-You 1. Let junk - to free food. Get a large garbage bag and discard all the appearance of waste has - scraps of paper, food packaging, broken pencils, etc.

2. Go through your clothes. First all the clothes washing beginning this step. Once you are able to see the clothes, classified into four piles - keep, donate, storage and waste. Anything that is too worn or damaged (socks and jeans usually the biggest culprit are) removed. All items that are in good condition, but have to donate no reason to save. All the items you want to keep the sentimental value or may be out of season, enters the reservoir. Finally, in drawers and cabinets stored goods will be returned. I once heard to put something back with the hook everything in the closet. If you use it, turn the rear bracket in the right direction when they return the cabinet. Anything that is not returned after a specified period of time (six months to one year), donations.

3. Go through toys. I always have this step until the children have left home. Sometimes they are not ready with toys to separate as parents, we know that we must go. You can also apply the same trash, donate and keep the philosophy here. Which is done regularly and is used in good condition, except. All you have to overcome the development, donate. Something missing or defective parts or stops working (electronic or battery elements), pull.

4. Organize. I'm not super-well organized person, so this is where options is very convenient. use find and easily accessible and child-friendly containers. For toilets work best in our home because every flat surface in the rooms of my children - desks, wardrobes, bedside tables - another scrap collectors have been. will be on the other side, certain elements of a "house", the prize for organized and help kids help the not asked if they make the room feel overwhelmed.

5. Cleaning. Once everything has its place and garbage was removed, the finishing touches on the pitch - Wash dust, vacuum cleaning and linen.

6. Maintain. This step is easier said than done, I know. we had a way my mother "one toy at a time ruler." We could make a new catastrophe to the old chaos was collected. You can also apply a method "room must be picked up before ...". You can, what is your decision "before" - the dinner is used to play video games, etc. In this way, simply do an interview regarding the evaluation against.
