House Cleaning Can Be Easy!
By Regina Tayman
Cleaning your house can be an easy task if you just take a few steps
to do it right the first time.
Making a house cleaning schedule is always
a plus, but few follow through.
Therefore, if you do not have a specific
schedule, try making a list of which rooms you want to clean today. Then
enhance that list by stating specifically WHAT you want to do in that
room.
Example of Cleaning Bedroom:
- Strip bed and start bedding in wash
- Gather cleaning supplies (dust clothes, dusting solution, window
cleaning solution, paper towels, vacuum)
- Dust ceiling fan first (if you have one) Dust over door tops and
window ledges
- Empty bed side table, dust lamp, alarm clock & picture frame
- Dust bed table
- Put items back on table
- Repeat process of other bed table
- Repeat process on dresser Dust television and stand
- Vacuum
- Put clean bed sheets on the bed.
- Make bed.
- Room finished!
Making a detailed list such as this gives you a very specific guide
on what needs to be done and the order to do it.
Make a list such as this for each room in your house and before you
know it, each room is done that you plan to complete today. Now you can
be off and on the run doing whatever else you would like to do in your
free time.
A little bit of pre-planning ahead of time, can save you lots of
time, reduce your stress, and leaves it very easy to get back to a
specific point if you get interrupted in the process.
House cleaning is something we all have to do. However, even though we want
our homes to be environmentally healthy to our families, pets and
friends, we do not want to spend our lives making it so. A quick clean
up on a regular basis, makes the big “spring cleaning” or “summer
cleaning” not such a big job. |
