Daily Cleaning Routine
If you try to do the following little tasks every day they will soon become second nature, and won't even notice you're doing them. A couple of minutes here, a few seconds there, and you'll soon wonder what all the fuss was about.
- Pull back the bedcovers to air while you shower and breakfast. Open the window: this will reduce humidity and limit the number of dust mites.
- Keep the kitchen clean and tidy. Wash up after each meal, and keep surfaces clean.
- Change dishclothes and tea towels daily.
- Vacuum or sweep the kitchen floor.
- Keep sinks clean and hand towels fresh.
- Keep toilets scrupulously clean.
- Return things to their place so clutter doesn't build up.
- Consider nominating days for laundry: e.g. Saturday for bedlinen, Monday for towels, Tuesday for coloureds, Thursday for whites. Hang laundry up to dry to make ironing easier.
