Some housewives complain that, despite the time and effort spent on cleaning, the house has not become cleaner.
The fault lies with the mistakes made during the process of putting things in order.
Start cleaning from the floor
Vacuuming and washing floors is sometimes so difficult that you want to complete this task from the list of necessary things earlier, so that the remaining time can be devoted to much more pleasant little things.
Why shouldn't you do this? If only because at the end of cleaning, the floors will have to be washed again because of crumbs, small debris or other dirt that got on them.
Don't forget about the golden rule of cleaning, which requires you to clean from top to bottom - first put things in their places, then dust, wash plumbing and furniture, and only at the end devote time to the floors.
Use the same cloth for all surfaces.
If you don't change your cloth as you clean different surfaces, all you'll be doing is transferring germs from one place to another.
Have several sponges and rags in your arsenal, each designed for a different purpose.
Using the same rags for a long time
Even reusable sponges, rags and cloths should be changed (or at least washed) from time to time.
It would be best if you trained yourself to throw all your cleaning tools into the washing machine drum every time you finish cleaning.
Vacuum with a full bag/container
Don't be lazy about changing bags or emptying the vacuum cleaner containers, because in this state the equipment will cope worse with sucking up dust and debris, which is why the cleaning performed cannot be called high-quality.
Stack things in piles
Stacks are a common but inconvenient way to store things, since the neat “tower” collapses every time you take out a sweater or towel from it.
Try rolling up your clothes and linens and stacking them on top of each other on a closet shelf – this will make them easier to see and easier to get to.
