Rainy Day Hacks for a Tidy and Organized Home in Nigeria

Keeping your home neat and tidy in the event of rainy days can be quite a hassle, especially in Nigeria. And if you live in the sub-urban areas in Lagos, the humid and wet conditions would make it difficult to keep everything in order. 

For sure the rainfall has its benefits, the cool weather, which makes having naps and relaxation seamless. But you also have to deal with the smell of its effects, especially if you use rugs and it’s a heavy downpour. Would you be able to rest? 

Don’t fret just yet. With a few smart hacks, you can turn these gloomy days into a brighter one, ensuring your home stays tidy and embraces warmth. Here are some rainy day hacks to help keep your home organized in Nigeria. 

Take all the Mud outside!

 

Bringing in all that dirt and dampness from wet clothes and soiled shoes, attracts more dirt into your home. If you don’t have a dedicated mud space or outdoor rug, create a makeshift one near your entrance. Place a shoe rack to hold wet shoes and have them dry quicker. You don’t want those smelly shoes in your home, do you?

Make use of dry rags and mops to prevent your footprints from being all over the place.

 

Make Use of Dehumidifiers and Moisture Absorbers

The high humidity and dews during rainy days often tend to lead to mold and mildew, sending smells to your furniture and even your clothing. It could further lead to blocked nostrils. To combat this, firstly, make sure your home is fully ventilated. Get moisture absorbers and dehumidifiers to fight the dampness of rooms, such as bathrooms and closets. Avoid leaks and try out different air fresheners or fragrances to keep a durable scent in your home.

 

Invest in Waterproof Storage Solutions

Investing in waterproof storage containers for items that will get affected by moisture is vital. Plastic rubbers with firm covers are perfect for storing clothes, documents and electronics. Label these containers for easy access and place them in higher areas where water cannot reach them

 

Use Pests Repellants!

When it rains, germs and pests move from underground in search for dry land! Don’t let the dry land be your home. Wet grounds and unclean pools of water often breeds mosquitoes. To avoid this or at least save yourself from being a regular customer for malaria and other diseases. It’s important that you get mosquito nets, insecticides and pests repellants. 

 

Having a clean bathroom and disinfectants to kill unwanted germs, microorganisms will keep you safer from diseases.

 

Organize your Kitchen and have Cleaning Supplies Nearby!

Rainy days will scatter your kitchen. With each items getting shifted, just to avoid getting wet, not to talk about those wet kitchen rugs. To avoid this, clean out your pantry and cabinets, discarding expired items and reorganizing the rest. Use the airtight containers to store goods and prevent them from getting damp. 

 

But that’s not all. Having cleaning supplies like rags, handheld vacuums and disinfectant wipes, readily available makes it easier to address messes as soon as they happen.

 

Embrace Simplicity

 

Rainy days are a great time to remove clutter and embrace the simple things. Go through used belongings and identify items that you no longer need or use. Discard or donate these items to reduce clutter. This way, your home becomes easier to maintain and you form a more serene and organized environment.

 

Implement a Cleaning Routine

 

Lastly, implementing a frequent cleaning routine is quite crucial in the raining season. Spending a few moments to tidy up common areas, wiping down surfaces and putting away items that are out of place helps to prevent dirt from accumulating. It will in turn keep your home consistently tidy.
