In a dirty house with dusty shelves and unwashed dishes can not be comfortable and cozy. Sweeping the floor and laying out clean and ironed clothes, that is, small daily tasks, do not take so much time. But when the turn of the general cleaning comes, many housewives give up.
Before picking up a mop and a rag, evaluate the scale of the “tragedy” and stock up on everything that will facilitate your work. Change the dust bag in the vacuum cleaner, purchase detergents if you are not sure that there are enough old supplies. Forget that all your life, newspapers were the most effective way to clean windows. In any supermarket there are many wonderful microfiber rags that will make the glass and mirrors clean in just a couple of minutes.
Classic spring cleaning
Perfect cleanliness must be wisely. Start by looking for helpers. Call for help all the tenants of the apartment. Firstly, it will significantly reduce cleaning time, and secondly, it will be an excellent family entertainment. There is one more secret: the things that you think are extremely necessary for other family members are just rubbish (from the side, you know better). They will not bleed their hearts when throwing jeans that have been lying in the closet for about 10 years.
You will need helpers at the very first and main stage - getting rid of trash. Take a couple of large garbage bags, put them in the middle of the room. Start sorting out everything you reach. Cracked plates and cups with broken handles, unpaired socks, empty shoe boxes and bags with a torn handle or torn lining - all this without regret, put in the main garbage bag. Clothing that still looks good, but has gone out of fashion or has become small, pack in the second package. In the third package, send unnecessary books and children's toys. Take the first package to a garbage container, and the second and third to the nearest church, shelter or charity.
The second stage is the cleaning itself. Children are great helpers in getting rid of trash. The rest are fierce enemies of order. While you scrub the floors in one room, they can stain the carpet with paints in another. Yes, and they will constantly distract you. Therefore, it is recommended to send the children for a walk into the yard, and leave the man out of the assistants. On the shoulders of your cleaning companion lies the screwing of shelves, furniture relocation (temporary) and the like, requiring physical strength.
Cleaning should begin with a room with a balcony. It is on the balcony, as a rule, most of the garbage and dust. Then comes the turn of the bedrooms and the nursery. Lastly, the bathroom and kitchen are cleaned. However, the hostess may prefer a different cleaning order. It all depends on the degree of contamination of the room and personal habits.
Clear-out includes many stages. Try to combine classes. While the refrigerator is defrosting, you can clean up the cereals and spices (do not forget to wipe the shelves in the kitchen cabinets). If you have already put the curtains in the car and started the wash, immediately proceed to wash the windows and window sills.
Do not forget to take a 5-minute break every hour, otherwise you will quickly get tired and still will not finish the general cleaning.
Spring cleaning with Lady Fly
Recently, many housewives began to use the Lady Fly system, which allows you to keep the house clean without spending a lot of time on it. So that the cleaning does not turn into a tiring and physically exhausting occupation, divide the entire apartment into zones. For example, kitchen, bathroom and toilet, bedrooms, living room (common room), balcony and corridors. Take a whole week to clean one area, but work on cleanliness should be 15-30 minutes a day. After 5 weeks, no trash will remain in your house, it will shine with cleanliness. And most importantly - you will never have to spend the whole weekend on spring cleaning, because you will get used to spending only 15 minutes every day to maintain order in the apartment.
