Having a clean house doesn't always mean cleaning all the time. In fact, good organization of household chores can save you effort, time, and stress . Instead of letting everything pile up, it's ideal to incorporate cleaning into our daily routine, as another healthy habit.
At La Corberana, we believe that maintaining cleanliness is not just a matter of aesthetics, but also of well-being. A clean home conveys calm, order, and mental clarity . It also helps prevent allergies, prolongs the lifespan of objects, and creates a more pleasant environment for living and entertaining.
Now, how can we achieve this without feeling overwhelmed? The answer lies in planning the frequency of each task. Not everything gets cleaned every day, but everything has its time.
Where to start?
Cleaning doesn't always start with a rag in hand. Sometimes, the first important step is opening the windows . Airing out your home should be the first thing we do every day: it refreshes the air, prevents dampness, and helps eliminate odors.

Why follow a cleaning routine?
Because keeping your house clean doesn't have to be a sacrifice , nor a chore we put off until the weekend. On the contrary: if we divide up the tasks and gradually incorporate them into our daily routine, cleaning becomes much more manageable .
A tidy and clean home is more enjoyable: it's more comfortable, more pleasant to entertain, and easier to maintain over time. And as they say, the less clutter there is, the less there is to clean .
