Domestic Cleaning Made Manageable
Keeping a home clean is an eternal task. You can spend many hours tidying up, removing stains, dust and dirt, toiling away to neaten things up and much more, only for it all to become messy again a few days later.
Preparation is key to good cleaning and so a schedule can help keep things on track. You will have various jobs to attend to each week, some may be done on a regular basis while others not so often. Some will make only a few minutes while others require hours of dedication. So having a timetable that lists when each of these must be done and what hours are allotted to them means that you will never forget to do a tasks, each one will have enough time to complete and you can fit in your other chores.
You can also use this list to work out what you will need. A home will require many tolls and detergents to keep it clean, so you must have all of them, available. Keep clothes, wipes and paper towels stocked so that any spill, stain can be immediately removed. Have a well-maintained vacuum cleaner so that you can easily handle your carpets, brushes fully bristled and dusters aplenty. You will also need a variety of bleaches, polishes and detergents, so that stains can be eliminated, surfaces sanitised and everything polished.
