Quick Housecleaning Tips For
Your Home
by: Fayola Peters
Ah Yes! The house is a mess...again! Why do I even bother
attempting the impossible? I'll tell you why I do it. For one thing,
I don't like living in a mess. Another reason is that People tend to
show up unexpectedly.
That last reason alone is enough to get me to make sure that the
path to the bathroom is cleared of rubble and that the bathroom
itself is clean with smells of Pine.
If your house is a mess... again, here are ten (10) house
cleaning tips to help you out.
1. Make a house cleaning schedule.
2. Survey each room in your home, look for the trouble spots and
decide on how you're going to get them cleaned up. Here you can
decide what tools you'll need, what can be thrown away or better
yet, who you can assign the task to.
3. Get help. Rome was not built in a day and I'm certain it
wasn't built by one Roman. If there are others living and breathing
in the house with you, get them to help.
4. Gather your cleaning supplies. A big time waster and
distraction when cleaning is running up and down getting a broom or
cleaners or whatever you need to complete the task that you're
doing. So before you get started make sure you have what you need.
5. Use natural cleaning products. House Cleaning is not just
about cleanliness, it’s also about safety in the home. Using natural
cleaning products can protect you and your family from the harmful
elements of synthetic cleaning products.
6. Get clutter free. Hey, I'm sure you've got those stacks of old
magazines somewhere in the house. They're gathering dust because
there is one article about child rearing that you need to read or a
recipe that you have to clip. Or is your linen closet a mess because
you refuse to throw out old sheets and cases.
7. When you are about to embark on a housecleaning task, do
yourself a favor and turn down the ringer on your phones. Phone
conversation can cause you to forget the task at hand.
8. Get housecleaning music. Don't choose those slow love songs.
Get some lively music, stuff that gets you in the cleaning mood (if
such a mood exists).
9. Make a housecleaning maintenance plan for each room of the
house.
10. Hire a house cleaning service. At least once a year treat
yourself. Hire professionals to do the house cleaning for you. What
do you think about making an appointment for a day in December,
somewhere in the teens of the month?
Well you now have ten (10) house cleaning tips to get you
started. Happy Housecleaning!
