#japan #cleaning #declutter 📘 Save Money Every Month With The Complete Japanese Home Way: https://unclekenjibooks.com If you’re watching this and wishing every one of these Japanese home habits was written down in one place, that’s exactly why I wrote The Complete Japanese Home Way. It’s not a list of cleaning products or gadgets to buy. It’s the whole Japanese way of running a home: owning less, wasting less, keeping things clean with less effort, and spending less on what you don’t need. If that’s how you want your home to feel, you’ll get a lot out of it. The complete guide is at https://unclekenjibooks.com If you feel like you’re always cleaning, it probably isn’t you. It’s the house. In this video, I’ll show you 13 everyday things in American homes that make cleaning harder than it needs to be, from white furniture and wall-to-wall carpet to glossy cabinets, open shelves and heavy curtains, and what a Japanese home uses instead. Some you can change this weekend for almost nothing. And stay for number 13, the one I’d change first, plus the two small Japanese habits that make all of them easier.
