Remember when Marie Kondo, a Japanese organising consultant, fascinated viewers with her Netflix show Tidying Up With Marie Kondo? It was an example of how Japanese culture values cleanliness as well as respect towards others. Walking the talk, last week, Japanese soccer team Samurai Blue cleared their dressing room and left notes of appreciation after their win against Germany at the FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Travelling supporters, too, stayed back to clear their zones in the stadium. While small acts of kindness and simple manners speak volumes, this writer does not consider clearing a room a small act. If you, like her, need help, here are cleaning hacks followed by the Japanese that will help you get the work done quickly and aesthetically.
