tap to clean my girl apartment 🤍🎀🫧

It's so easy to get overwhelmed when you scroll through social media and see all those perfectly pristine 'clean girl' apartments, isn't it? I totally get it! My original post showed a glimpse into the real-life juggle of keeping a space looking neat and tidy, especially when life gets busy. I wanted to share a few more personal tips I've picked up to make maintaining that aesthetic a little less daunting and a lot more achievable for everyone. First off, let's talk about the bedroom. I know I mentioned that I 'always try and make my bed every morning' in my daily routine, and honestly, it's a game-changer for making the whole room feel instantly cleaner. Even if the rest of the room isn't perfect, a made bed gives you a sense of accomplishment and sets a positive tone. For general 'apartment declutter' in the bedroom, I find a quick five-minute sweep before bed helps immensely. Just putting clothes away, tidying nightstands, and clearing floors can transform the space. It’s not about deep cleaning every day, but consistent small efforts. My bathroom, oh my gosh! I confess, just like I mentioned in my post, it 'always looks crazy after' I've done my hair or filmed content. The trick I've learned for making your room look clean, even when it’s been chaotic, is immediate clean-up. As soon as I’m done, I wipe down the counters, put products back in their designated spots, and give the mirror a quick spray. It takes literally two minutes, but prevents a huge build-up. Having a small caddy for daily essentials helps keep surface clutter at bay. And the vanity! You know how I said 'anytime I do my make up my vanity looks like this'? It’s true! My strategy? The 'one touch' rule. As soon as I finish using something, it goes straight back into its drawer or organizer. Investing in good, clear organizers has been a lifesaver. It’s so much easier to maintain a 'neat and tidy' space when everything has a home. Now, for the kitchen – I honestly feel like my 'kitchen stays the cleanest' out of all my rooms, even when I think it's 'messy.' Part of that, I've realized, is because I wipe down counters after every use and load the dishwasher immediately. For those looking for 'how to keep your kitchen smelling fresh,' I swear by a few things: always take out the trash regularly (especially before bed!), keep your sink clear, and occasionally simmer some lemon and cinnamon on the stove. It makes the whole apartment smell amazing! Finally, my common area. I mentioned that 'I always keep my common area the cleanest because it's where I spend the most time!' This is key for 'clean girl room inspo.' If your main living space is tidy, the whole apartment feels more put-together. My biggest tip here is using baskets and decorative boxes for quick tidies. Throw blankets, remote controls, magazines – everything can have a stylish home. Before friends come over, it’s a super quick way to scoop up any stray items and make the space feel inviting. Ultimately, being a 'clean girl' isn't about perfection; it’s about creating habits that make your space feel good. It's about consistency and finding what works for *you*. Don't be afraid to show the reality, but also empower yourself with small routines that keep the 'shambles' feeling at bay. You've got this!
