How to Easily Maintain Cleanliness in an Apartment: 9 Life Hacks

We share tricks and gadgets that help keep your home clean and save you time.

Choose Wall-Mounted Plumbing

With wall-mounted furniture, toilet, or sink, the amount of dust is significantly reduced because the floor will always be accessible for washing. No special effort is needed to keep such furniture or plumbing clean.

Get Rid of the Rim

This significantly reduces microbial growth inside the toilet, and the circular drain system will completely wash all hard-to-reach areas.

Install an Air Freshener

A regular air freshener only temporarily neutralizes odors and is not long-lasting compared to built-in systems in flush buttons.

Tip INMYROOM: The flush button Geberit Sigma40 paired with the Geberit DuoFresh* installation helps neutralize unpleasant odors directly in the sanitaryware and prevents them from spreading. Conveniently, the function can be easily activated by pressing a button and automatically deactivated.

*All Sigma flush buttons are compatible with the Geberit DuoFresh mounting element. However, the odor-elimination function only works with the Sigma40 flush button.

Use a Robot Vacuum

Modern robot vacuums with timers will maintain order even when you're not home. By the way, they vacuum under furniture, beds, around table and chair legs, along walls, and in corners. They can also perform wet cleaning, replacing floor mopping.

Install a Waste Disposer in the Kitchen

A kitchen waste disposer prevents drains from clogging. It grinds up all food scraps so they can be easily flushed into the sewer system. It is installed under the sink and does not take up much space.

Place a Trash Bin in Each Room

Place a trash bin in each room so papers, wrappers, and other waste do not accumulate throughout the apartment. In the bathroom and bedroom, you can use bins styled like vases or stylish wooden boxes.

Get a Dishwasher

First, it saves electricity, and second, it saves your time and energy. If you're concerned that a dishwasher won't fit in your kitchen, consider compact models.

Choose Matte Furniture

Dust and streaks are clearly visible on glossy surfaces. Therefore, furniture should have a matte and smooth surface. Cabinets ideally reach the ceiling to prevent dust from accumulating above.

Find a Spot for Charging Cables

To prevent charging cables from being scattered throughout the apartment, gather them in one place, preferably near an outlet. You can use special cable channels, wire boxes, or regular plastic bins.
