Focus:Cleaning has many lessons. There is a saying that goes something like: " If you are going to stand then stand. If you are going to sit then sit. Don't wobble". This am, as I cleaned our home - I wobbled. I got lost in my bookcases. To me there is something so relaxing about organizing and looking through my books. By end of the morning I had sorted, reorganized and cleaned all of my bookcases -so relaxing almost meditative. The morning slipped away without a care- well except I was suppose to be cleaning our home. Before I knew it it was 11:06am. My cleaning time had been devoted to organizing and sorting.My lesson for the day: When you are going to clean -clean, when you are going to organize -organize, don't wobble.
Happy cleaning,Denise
Use Good Tools (test post)
A good tool can make your life so much easier. Knowing how to best use that tool is priceless. Frequently, I go into homes and my clients are trying to use itty bitty tools in great big houses. If you have a big home get commercial sized and quality tools. You are going to be amazed how much time will be saved from a 18 inch commercial tool vs a 6-12 inch flimsy tool. This doesn't even mention how much longer these tools will last and easier your job will be. Even if you hire a house cleaner get good tools. It will save them time and you money!Years ago when we had our carpet and upholstery cleaning company we would pre-vacuumeach room before our cleaning. I used a 17 inch commercial vacuum. Every once in a while, I would have to use the standard residential sized vacuum. The number of passes and time needed almost seemed to double. It felt like trying to clean a floor with a tooth brush. While we are on the subjects of tooth brushes- have you ever tried to clean your grout with a tooth brush? I rest my case! Happy and healthy cleaning- denise
