Лекция: Weekly Cleaning Chores

Household chores may probably be a big headache for you (and for your family), but do you want to live in a messy house? Discuss within the family on how to remedy this kind of problem. Make them understand that house hold chores are every one’s obligation. Nobody is exempted from it. So talk it out and ask your family on which task that each has to fulfill. Next thing is to set house cleaning chore list. Keep in mind that some chores can be done weekly; some monthly and other tasks can be done quarterly.

Vacuuming

Vacuuming your house on a weekly basis prevents buildups of dust that can trigger allergies and respiratory issues for your family. While high traffic arrears may need to be vacuumed on a daily basis, other areas of the home need a good once-over once a week.

Don’t Forget to Vacuum… Carpets, Rugs, Stairs, Furniture, Hard Floors.

Dusting

Through no fault of our home, dust collects on every surface, leading to breathing issues, dull looking surfaces, and the need to dust weekly. A good weekly dusting staves off the need for more in-depth cleaning on a regular basis. Be sure to dust from top to bottom to prevent settling. Consider using a vacuum attachment to suck up the dust, or a good microfiber cloth to trap dust particles.

Don’t Forget to Dust … Furniture, Windowsills, Wall Coverings, Cobwebs, and Ceiling Fans.

Cleaning

There are some areas of our homes that receive such frequent use, they need to be attended, to on a weekly basis. This preventative cleaning keeps these rooms and areas ready to serve our home and keep buildups of dirt and damage from requiring more intense cleaninglater.

Don’t Forget to Clean … shake out door mats; straighten books and magazines; clean bathrooms; change linens in all rooms; clean kitchen sink, toaster, hobs; wipe down kitchen appliances, microwave (inside and out); spot clean walls; clean leftovers from fridge; gather and take out garbage.
