Change bed linens and towels all at once. Wash at 60°C with vinegar to soften the fabric and eliminate odors. While the first load is washing, start vacuuming from top to bottom: first the curtains and furniture, then the floor.

To remove limescale from shower stalls and faucets, wrap the faucets in rags soaked in vinegar for 30 minutes. Then scrub with a brush—the limescale will disappear without chemicals. The same works for glass shower doors.
Sort clothes and other items according to the “wear-keep-throw away” principle. Use boxes: anything that hasn’t been worn for more than a year probably won’t be needed. This will not only make cleaning easier but also visually expand the space.
To clean the floor, add 2 tablespoons of baking soda and 5 drops of tea tree oil to a bucket of water—it’s a natural disinfectant. Mop the floor from the far corner, working toward the exit, to avoid stepping on clean areas.
Fresh the air with natural scents rather than air fresheners: boil water with cinnamon, orange zest, and cloves. This will create a cozy atmosphere and eliminate odors.
Finish by wiping all mirrors and glass surfaces with a 1:1 mixture of water and alcohol. They will sparkle streak-free. And remember: the perfect home is not one without dust, but one where you feel at peace.
