21 Quick Chores You Can Easily Complete

Do you remember the fear of being overwhelmed by the spring cleaning?
You might spend several days tackling household chores!
But did you know that over 90% of household tasks can be completed in a short time?

For example: It takes 30 seconds to organize shoes at the entrance, 1 minute to wipe water stains off the bathroom counter, 3 minutes to put dirty clothes in the washing machine, and just 10 minutes to fold and store dried clothes in the closet…

The chores we face daily are mostly these. If we can break them down into smaller time segments and complete them easily, they may not seem so daunting.
To help, we’ve compiled a list of 21 quick tasks to make chores less intimidating:

After getting up, quickly make your bed. From a modern medical perspective, making the bed is not mandatory; in fact, a hotel-style flat bedding arrangement is less prone to bacteria. Plus, it saves time on making the bed.

After washing your face and brushing your teeth, wipe down the water stains on the counter. If you don’t want to wash a cloth every day, paper towels work too.
After applying makeup, return your makeup tools to their place to ensure you can find them easily next time.

Clean the dining table immediately after eating. If you don’t want to wash dishes by hand or lack time, Fotile’s sink dishwasher is a great helper. It can also wash fruits and vegetables.

When entering or leaving home, neatly arrange your shoes.

Hang your coat and bag at the entrance when you get home.

Take out the kitchen garbage every morning on your way to work.

After cooking, return seasoning bottles to their place and wipe off grease from the counter and walls. The usual method is to spray cleaner and wipe with a cloth.

From a cleaning perspective, a range hood that doesn’t produce smoke can significantly reduce workload.

Wipe away visible stains or dust from surfaces like countertops or coffee tables.

Dispose of packaging from received parcels immediately after unpacking; don’t let it accumulate on the balcony, entrance, or coffee table.
Immediately remove packaging from items received in parcels and place them in their respective locations.

Portion large meat products bought from the supermarket into smaller sizes before storing them in the fridge.

If you have a floor at home, mop up any water splashed onto it after showering. Slippery floors can lead to falls and damage the flooring itself—both are unfortunate situations.

After each shower or changing at home, sort clothes into categories (white/other colors, machine wash/hand wash) in the laundry basket for convenience when doing laundry.

When taking clothes out of the washing machine to dry, shake and smooth them out before hanging to reduce wrinkles.
Organize dried clothes according to different storage methods before putting them in the closet. If you’re unsure how to organize, folding is usually the easiest method with minimal mistakes.

Before leaving the living room after watching TV, tidy up remote controls, fruit plates, magazines, and newspapers on the sofa and coffee table.

Before bed, prepare items you’ll need for the next day to avoid rushing and forgetting something important. If you have an important appointment the next day, remember to choose your outfit in advance.

After charging your phone, put away the charger to avoid tangled cables that could pose safety hazards.

When your closet is full, select clothes you won’t wear again and discard them. Trust me; you won’t wear clothes that you’ve not touched in a year.

Tell your family “I love you” more often. Don’t be shy; expressing love is a surefire way to make your home happier.

These tasks may seem trivial and easy to do. Once they become habits, you’ll find yourself enjoying a tidy and clean home effortlessly! Don’t be surprised if achieving a comfortable and organized living environment turns out to be this simple!
