8 Ways To Make Your Home Look Super Clean and Organized (4 of 5)

Bust out the feather duster

Dust doesn’t collect on your shelves overnight. It’s a gradual process, but at some point you (or your guests) will definitely notice the ring of dust that has gathered around the items on your shelves. Dust off those shelves at least once a month and use some lemon-scented Pledge to give it a nice shine.

Keep The Sink Clear

Here is a motto to live by: a kitchen is only as clean as its sink. No matter how clean the countertops and kitchen table are, if you have a bunch of dirty dishes, bowls, and silverware pilling up in the sink, you’re going to have problems. You might even attract cockroaches and other vermin! So make sure you get those dishes washed (or placed in the dishwasher right away) and also be sure to scrub both the sink and the area around it so that mildew and grime don’t collect.
