Continuing
on our cleaning throughout the house, here are some more tips.
Bedroom
Bed. If your bed is made, the room looks
neat. When you wake up, pull the covers
up to your chin, then scissor-kick your way out of bed so it’ll be half made
already!
Drawers. Go through drawers and get rid of things you
have not worn at least twice yearly. Put
away clean laundry each week.
Miscellaneous
Timing:
Most of us dread household cleaning
chores. Actually look at the clock and
time yourself. Believe it or not, more
chores only take 10 minutes. Knowing
this makes it less of a dreaded task.
Multitask:
Make tasks go faster by doing two things at
once. Start laundry then go clean the
kitchen. If you get interrupted with a
phone call, fold laundry, fluff pillows, straighten magazines or dust while on
the phone.
Vacuuming:
Begin vacuuming in the farthest corner and
work toward the door using slow, repetitive motions in overlapping
sequence.
Make a Lost
& Found Box:
Every house needs
one. Use a cute vintage lunch box or
lidded storage container to stash lost game pieces, stray screw and buttons and
such. When you need the item, you’ll
know where to look first.
Quick
Rescue:
Take the laundry basket and do a
quick walk through of each room. Place
in it anything that doesn’t belong in that room. Then go back and put away items in their
proper place.
Sweeping:
Cleaning should always be done top to bottom. That way, any crumbs or dust that fall to the
floor get picked up last.
Pick the right broom:
For indoors, choose on with finer bristles to
pick up smaller particles. For outdoors,
go for stronger, stiffer bristles which work better to clear porous surfaces.
