Cleaning is a chore that takes time and a lot of people do not like it, but it’s something that must be done on a regular basis to ensure a healthy environment. It is alarming how often we are tired from work and the last thing we want to do is clean then. But do consider that a clean home can be a lot more relaxing and cozy, and will repay you in kind for any effort you put into cleaning. You don’t have to do it after work, you can give yourself time and finish this on weekends, when you won’t be so stressed out and you can better organize your time. Of course if you have better things to do better call in the professionals.

Let’s see the top 5 important cleaning routines that you should start with.

– Clothes – if you have kids, chances are there will be clothes lying all over the place. A shirt under the bed, a sock on the chair and the other one somewhere under the rug in the bathroom… Really, when it comes to clothes, you will be surprised at the places you can find them lying around. And let’s be honest – sometimes you just forget to properly store your clothes and leave them where you take them off. When you start your weekend clean, collect all clothes you find lying around the entire house. Fold and store the clean ones, put for washing the dirty.

– Dishes – if you don’t have a washing machine, it is possible to find your sink is a regular dirty central. Well, it’s a messy job, but someone’s got to do it. There is nothing quite like having all of your dishes cleaned and the space in the sink empty with no ugly sights inside.

– Vacuum – it is a tiring job, no doubt about it. It requires a wide range of skills – strength to lift up furniture to vacuum under it, agility to maneuver around the house with the cleaner following your every step and most important of all – willpower to endure it all. Well, considering how important vacuuming is, it is something that you should do, but no one says you have to do it one go. Take breaks, clean one room after another, which can help diversify your activity and thus make it all a lot easier. Consider buying a quality vacuum cleaner, as this can help you too.

– Dusting – a very important cleaning routine, that you should make a habit of doing every week or so. Dust can cause a great deal of allergies and health problems, so it only makes sense to keep it in check. Having a clean and fresh environment is not possible with dusty electronics, furniture and decorations.

– Organize – not everyone is able to keep things in appropriate places, at all times, especially when kids are involved. Organizing and rearranging things helps a great deal in opening the space of a room so you can focus on other problems, such as vacuuming and other cleaning.

Arm yourself with patience and motivation before any cleaning. Keep in mind the health benefits and don’t just think of it as an annoying chore.
