Enye yeempawu zayo ezibalaseleyo kukukhula kwayo okumangalisayo. Xa ifakwa emanzini, isitena esinye esincinci sekhokhonathi sinokwandiswa ukuya kuthi ga kubukhulu baso bokuqala obuphindwe kasibhozo, sitshintshe sibe yimfumba ethambileyo nenemicu. Le mpawu ivela kwimibhobho yendalo yekhokhonathi, evumela ukuba ifunxe kwaye igcine umswakama ngokufanelekileyo—nto leyo eyenza ukuba ilungele ukusetyenziswa okufuna ukufunxwa okanye ukuthotywa ngamanzi.​

Kwizinto zokupakisha, izitena zekhokhonathi ziye zaduma njengezinto ezibolileyo nezibolayo. Ulwakhiwo lwazo olunemicu lubonelela ngokufunxwa kakuhle kokuthuthumela, lukhusela izinto ezibuthathaka ezifana ne-elektroniki, izinto zeglasi, kunye neeseramikhi ngexesha lokuthunyelwa. Ngokungafaniyo ne-foam yeplastiki okanye i-bubble wrap, ziyabola ngokwendalo, zinciphisa impembelelo yokusingqongileyo kwaye zihambelana neendlela zokupakisha ezizinzileyo. Zikwasebenza njengezizalisi ezingenanto kwiibhokisi, zithintela izinto ukuba zingatshintshi ngaphandle kokongeza ubunzima obugqithisileyo.​

Ukufunxa okuninzi kwesi sixhobo kusenza sibe luncedo ekucoceni nasekulawuleni ukuchitheka. Izitena zekhokhonathi eziqhekekileyo zinokufunxa ulwelo, kuquka iioyile kunye nokuchitheka kwamanzi, nto leyo eyenza ukuba zisebenze kakuhle kwiindawo zoshishino, kwiigaraji, okanye kwiindawo zokusebenzela. Iifayibha zazo zendalo zibamba umswakama kunye nenkunkuma, kwaye zinokulahlwa ngendlela yokugquma emva kokusetyenziswa, kuthintelwe isidingo sokucoca iikhemikhali eziqatha. Oku kufunxa kukwafikelela nakwinkathalelo yezilwanyana zasekhaya, apho izitena zekhokhonathi ezandisiweyo zisebenza njengebhedi elula, engenathuli yezilwanyana ezincinci okanye izilwanyana ezirhubuluzayo, zigcina indawo eyomileyo ngelixa zithambile eluswini lwezilwanyana zasekhaya.

Kwimisebenzi yobugcisa kunye nokuhombisa, izitena zekhokhonathi zibonelela ngobuhle bendalo basemaphandleni. Xa ziqhekekile, iifayibha zinokubunjwa zibe zizinto zokuhombisa kwiiprojekthi ze-DIY, ezifana neentyatyambo, ii-hangings zodonga, okanye iziqwenga zetafile. Zidibana kakuhle nezinye izinto zendalo ezifana nomthi, amatye, kunye neentyatyambo ezomileyo, nto leyo ephucula imvakalelo yendalo yezinto ezenziwe ngesandla. Ukongeza, kuyilo lweziganeko, zisebenza njengezizalisi zemiboniso enesihloko, zongeza ubume kwii-booths, ukuseta iqonga, okanye imifanekiso yangasemva.

Izitena zekhokhonathi zikwanegalelo ekwakheni nasekugqumeni ubushushu obungenabungozi kwindalo. Zixutywe nezibopheleli zendalo, zenza iiphaneli ezikhaphukhaphu ezisetyenziswa kwizinto ezingezizo izakhiwo ezifana nezizalisi zodonga okanye iileya zokuthintela isandi, zisebenzisa ulwakhiwo lwazo olunemicu ukunciphisa ukudluliselwa kwengxolo. Ukuqhuba kwazo ubushushu obuphantsi kuzenza zifaneleke ukufudumala kwiindawo ezincinci, njengeeshedi zezixhobo okanye iikhabhini zegadi.
