The generally accepted unwritten rules state that a clean house is the “face” of its owners. Maintaining accuracy, it is necessary to regularly carry out activities to restore order in residential and other premises.
Comprehensive, general or planned?
Of course, in ordinary housing, daily cleaning is not always required. Most often, the order is restored once a week. Although where cleanliness is, there is health and well-being.
There are several types of sanitation of housing and offices:
- everyday;
- weekly
- general;
- planned;
- integrated;
- dry
- wet.
What is the difference? It is clear that daily cleaning of premises is definitely necessary where many people live or happen. Pollution from the street, from clothes, from coats and boots, dust and bacteria settle on furniture, walls and door handles. In offices, shopping centers, in various institutions, wet cleaning is mandatory . In apartments and houses it all depends on the desires and time of the hostess. Usually it’s enough to restore general order and simply vacuum the flooring of the rooms, wipe the dust from objects.
Every 7 days
Weekly cleanliness is a more responsible process. Earthenware is thoroughly inspected and cleaned. Usually the responsibilities of family members are divided so that everyone gets a certain plot in the house, for the purity of which he is responsible.
On this day, you can thoroughly wash the doors and window sills, batteries and skirting boards, cabinet surfaces, sanitary ware, refrigerator, stove and taps. All things are laid out and put in their places. Vacuum clean upholstery and carpets. Wipe electronic and other equipment with special wipes.
When the entire web has been swept away, the dust has been collected, the surfaces have been cleaned and everything is in place, you can start mopping. Such a weekly process takes, of course, much more time than daily house cleaning. But then everything shines and sparkles with purity and freshness.
We'll say a word about spring cleaning
Every one to two months, sometimes less often, carry out major cleaning of all corners, cabinets and rooms. During the general and complex process of cleaning a house or apartment, they remove the washing curtains, sort out clothes and clothes in dressers, throw away accumulated junk, wash and polish mirrors and windows, tiles and radiators, vases, panels, and other interior items. Daily housekeeping may seem like relaxation compared to these “global” events.
First of all, it is necessary to plan the whole process of "generalka":
- where exactly to start;
- which cabinets to sort out;
- whether to wash and clean carpets;
- prepare for cleaning ventilation and garbage removal;
- stock up with special washing and disinfecting and polishing agents, as well as rags, napkins, rubber gloves;
- prepare all surfaces to be washed.
The rest of the general cleaning process is very similar to a weekly cleaning of the room. The final stage is the mandatory shaking out of rugs, airing rooms and mopping.
