How to organise a wardrobe, small, built-in…

There is nothing more despairing than a messy wardrobe; no matter how big it is, you can't find anything. But if, in addition, it is small, things get complicated. You may not feel like tidying up clothes, bags and shoes, or making the most of the space you have, but when you do get round to it, the satisfaction of finding what you are looking for, and for everything to fit, is much greater. Besides, there are little tricks to multiply the space in your wardrobe. It's not magic, but a matter of choosing the right accessories. 3 tips to organise clothes in little space: - Join and separate, in Marie Kondo style: gather all your clothes in a pile, and separate them into the ones you are going to keep, the ones you are going to donate, and the ones you have to repair, according to the method of the Marie Kondo organisation guru. Then, take the ‘repair’ pile, and assess whether it is really worth the effort. Then separate the clothes you are going to hang from the clothes you are going to fold. You can take advantage of this process of taking out all the clothes you have in your wardrobe, to make a selection of those that you no longer wear and donate them. - Use the vertical folding and three-fold system (like packages) of the Konmari method for t-shirts and jumpers in the drawers, classify them by colours, from darkest to lightest. You'll see how you save space and have a greater sense of tidiness. - Use accessories that help you optimise space: such as pull-out trouser racks, Z-shaped shoe organisers, dividers for the interior of drawers, multi-purpose hangers, etc.

How to organise the pantry: ideas and tips

Keeping the spaces in your home tidy has a direct influence on the well-being of the people living in the house. In addition, tidiness in the home always saves time. In this article, discover how to organise your pantry with some useful ideas and simple tips. Basic tips to organise the pantry Place the ingredients you consume the least at the back of your pantry, and those you use regularly at the front. Use the first few rows for smaller or shorter products, and the last few rows for larger and taller ones, so you don't spend too much time finding the ingredients you need. If you use glass jars for food, such as cereals, pulses, salt, sugar, etc., you can label the jars or classify them by type of food. For example: use one shelf only for pulses, one shelf only for cereals, another for spices and condiments, etc. In addition, if you organise your cabinet or pantry correctly you will avoid your products expiring and being stored for longer than they should be.

How to clean an awning

The awning is one of the parts of the house most exposed to dirt because it is obviously located outdoors. In the summer season, it is one of the elements of the terrace or garden that we use the most, and that we must make ready for the hottest season. The first thing we must do is have a hose at hand to remove any dust and dirt with pressurised water. If this is not possible, because you live in a block of buildings or simply don't have one, you can use a spray with water and rub it with a brush. For stains, we can use a mixture of water with neutral soap and, if they are more localised stains, use ammonia with a spray, and rub with a brush, always rinsing with water at the end.

How to clean the upholstery of your sofa or chair

One of the essential pieces of furniture in the living room is, undoubtedly, the sofa. This is where we spend most of our time: we sit there to watch TV or look at our mobile phone, we lie down to take a nap... in other words, we make a lot of use of it. But what happens when it gets dirty? Even if you are very careful, with the passage of time the upholstery surfaces absorb a lot of dirt and, although it is not so visible, the dust and mites are there. The type of fabric of the sofa upholstery is also fundamental to determine how to clean it because, it is not the same if the fabric is washable or if it requires dry cleaning at the dry cleaner’s. Cleaning the upholstery of a sofa step by step First of all, the dust embedded in the fabric must be removed. With the help of the vacuum cleaner and the accessory for corners, start vacuuming from one side to the other, insisting on the folds and joints because that is where the most dust accumulates. Lift the cushions and all the parts you can take off to thoroughly clean the bottom, inside and outside of your upholstered sofa, too. Then, for a more thorough cleaning, we propose three methods to leave your upholstered sofa or chair like new: 1. Steam cleaning:this type of machine, which, if you’ve got one, you use to clean the windows of your house, can also be used with the upholstery accessory. It will not only help you to clean your sofa, but also to disinfect it. When you have finished steaming the whole sofa, wipe it with a clean cloth to finish removing the dirt and let it dry naturally. 2. Wet cleaning with ammonia: dilute ammonia in warm water, moisten a cloth in the mixture, and rub it over the whole upholstery from top to bottom. Then carry out the same operation just with warm water and a well wrung out, lint-free cloth to remove the dirt, continuously rinsing it out in the water. Then, let it dry naturally. 3. Dry foam stain remover:when the furniture is completely dry, check it for stains. In this case, you can use a conventional stain remover suitable for upholstery that usually comes in dry foam format, or create a homemade one. For this, you can use sodium percarbonate. Dissolve 2 or 3 tablespoons of this powerful natural stain remover in a litre of hot water, and apply the solution to the stains. Leave it to act for 5 to 10 minutes, rub it with a brush, rinse it with plenty of water and let it dry to check its effect. It is advisable, before using this homemade trick, for you to test it on a small part of the fabric that is not very visible to ensure that it does not discolour.

How to clean the rubber seal of the washing machine

During these weeks of lockdown, the washing machine has been one of the essential appliances in most homes, even more so than before. It has certainly done 'overtime' in all Spanish homes. One thing we must bear in mind is that the washing machine does not clean itself and there are parts of it that we must pay a little attention to, to avoid possible breakdowns or deterioration, which could be solved with proper maintenance. There are many people who do not dedicate time to the interior of the washing machine, but the truth is that, if we want our clothes to come out clean for a long time, we must pay some attention to cleaning the inside: drum, filters and... the rubber seal on the door.

How to organise your kitchen during lockdown

How to organise the kitchen cabinets step by step Organisation and planning are essential to stockpile food as well as hygiene, cleaning and disinfection products at home these days. Following the recommendations of the authorities to stay at home as much as possible, and go out to do the shopping once a week, we must plan the products we have, as well as the ones we are going to need, and the space we have to store them. Empty all the kitchen cabinets to see what you have, what is missing and what you need. Take advantage of the fact that you have emptied the cabinets to clean them on the inside. Once they are clean, distribute the way you are going to organise the cabinets and make groups by product families, both for food and kitchenware. Start putting things back in the cabinets. Choose the area under the sink for the cleaning products. Put the most toxic ones at the back. Arrange them by families: floor cleaners, disinfectants, degreasers, dishwasher detergents, WC cleaners, drain cleaners... you can use boxes to store them. This will also allow you to see the amount of products you have, and those you need.
