Entity says that if you follow these easy steps every day, you'll never have to clean your house again.

You leave for work with your bedspread untidy and food stains left on the counter. When you come home from work, you take off your shoes and leave your clothes strewn across the backs of chairs. By the end of the week, you have to devote an entire day to cleaning your home from top to bottom.

What if you didn’t have to clean your house ever again? Instead of spending your day with Lysol and Mr. Eraser, you can change your habits so that you can open an entire day to yourself without the hassle of constant cleaning.

Here are some quick tips to keeping your pad tidy:

1 LEAVE YOUR SHOES BY THE DOOR.

When you’re walking in a public place, you have no clue what kind of dirt you could be tracking into your home on your shoes. Organize your shoes with a shoe rack or have a designated space for all of your shoes to keep in line. You may be tired at the end of the day, but it just takes a little bit of muscle to put your shoes away neatly and avoid a messy pile.

2 DO A LITTLE BIT OF LAUNDRY EVERY FEW DAYS.

It can be easy to leave your laundry until there is a mound of clothing in the basket so high that it tips over. In order to prevent a weekly hassle, do your laundry bit by bit every few days. Organize your clothes by color and washing requirements to keep your clothes bright and fresh.

3 RECYCLE ITEMS.

Routinely look at your closet, your shoe rack, and all of your belongings to see what you can do without. If it isn’t something you need, why crowd your place with unnecessary clutter? If your shoe rack is starting to spill over, consider giving a pair or two to a friend or to Goodwill.

4 CLEAN YOUR DISHES IMMEDIATELY AFTER YOU USE THEM.

If you are living alone, this should be a simple task. If you have children or other roommates, then make an agreement with all other household members to clean their respective dishes after use. This will avoid a sink piled with dishes, which attract pests and builds up a nasty odor.

5 REDUCE YOUR PAPER TRAIL.

Other than your mail and your favorite books, you should have no other papers in your home. Newspapers and magazines are often in digital form, which means that you don’t have to collect a stack of used magazines by your bed. Having miscellaneous papers will make important documents harder to find in time of need.

6 WIPE DOWN YOUR COUNTERS.

After using any surface, do a cursory wipe down. Nothing fancy – no sprays or chemicals, just a little bit of hand soap and a towel will do. It’s better than letting layers of dirt continuously build up day after day.

7 THERE IS A PLACE FOR EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING IS IN ITS PLACE.

Not everyone has cabinets and boxes neatly organized, stored, and labeled perfectly, but in your home, you should have some form of organization. If you use an item that you usually keep in a certain spot, remind yourself after you finish using it to put it back in its place. By doing this, you not only minimize clutter, but you save yourself the headache that comes with not being able to find something at a crucial moment.
