How to Clean & Declutter: The Mad Max Way
:: Tara Alexandra
Living in a post-apocalyptic world can be tough, especially when it comes to keeping your living space clean, tidy, and organized. The dust, the dirt — it’s endless. But no worries mate! Mad Max has it handled. Take some inspiration from him and he’ll show you how to declutter like a pro.
Tip #1: Use multi-purpose storage solutions
In a world where resources are scarce, it’s important to make the most out of what you have. That’s why Mad Max utilizes scrap metal, recycled wood, and other salvaged materials to create customized storage solutions that fit his needs.
In the kitchen, he often uses old cans and jars to store food items like dried beans, nuts, and seeds. In the living room, her repurposes empty oil drums as makeshift furniture, creating tables and stools that can be easily moved around his living space or rearranged when hosting a dinner party.
Whether it’s a cleverly crafted shelf for tools or a makeshift wardrobe for clothing, he uses these resources in creative ways to keep his living space clutter-free. Is this guy amazing or what? 🙂
Tip #2: Clean as you go
When you’re constantly on the move, it’s easy for dust and dirt to accumulate in your living space.
That’s why Mad Max makes a point to clean as he goes.
Because he likes to be on top of his cleaning game, whenever he enters his living space, he takes a few moments to tidy up and make sure it’s free of any dirt and dust. For example, he may sweep away any crumbs and debris from the floor or wipe down surfaces like tables or counters with a damp rag. And, he always takes a quick look around and does last minute tidying before he goes to sleep at night. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to a lovely clean home the next day?
This good advice also applies to his vehicle. After a long day of driving the Interceptor, he’ll wipe down the dashboard and vacuum the seats before heading inside. This not only keeps his prized possession clean, but it also helps him stay on top of maintenance tasks so that they don’t pile up over time.
Tip #3: Embrace minimalism
In a world where excess is a thing of the past, Mad Max has learned to embrace minimalism. He only keeps what he needs and what brings him joy, which means less clutter and more space to move around. Plus, it makes packing up and moving on to the next adventure a breeze. So, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by clutter, take a page out of Mad Max’s book and simplify your life.
Living in a post-apocalyptic world may present its own unique set of challenges when it comes to decluttering and keeping things neat and tidy. But taking these tips to heart, you can make a positive impact on your environment even when the world around you is a complete and utter mess — literally and figuratively. 🙂 Cheers mate!
