Where does dust come from in our apartments?It seems that the windows and doors are closed... But it gathers again! The recently cleaned carpet is full of dust again, and it lies on the furniture that was just wiped. Scientists claim that almost three hundred tons of cosmic dust falls on our planet every year. And millions of tons of it are created by organisms inhabiting the earth. And housewives who so diligently clean it up simply move it from place to place. So why, it would seem, start cleaning? First of all, to reduce the amount of inhaled dust and prevent premature damage to furniture. In addition, we want our home to be cozy and aesthetically pleasing. And even if cleaning is irritating, we still have to do it from time to time. Thank God that today it can be made easier with the help of achievements in the chemical industry, for example. There are also some techniques that can significantly speed up cleaning an apartment. Good housewives do a general cleaning of the apartment two or three times a year. They sort out the things lying in the closets, wash all the dishes, thoroughly wash the bathroom, toilet, clean old clothes, etc. In order for such cleaning not to be exhausting, it is better to break it down into stages.
Window
Let's start with the windows. We'll send the curtains to the wash.If the window frames are aluminum, we take them out of the grooves and put them in the bathtub, on the bottom of which, so as not to damage the enamel, we lay a rug. If the frames are wooden, then, using a shower and a rag, we wash off the dust and dirt from them and leave them aside so that the frames dry.
Ceiling and walls
We sweep the ceiling and walls from dust wrapped inwith a dry cloth and a brush. This process can be entrusted to a man if he is free and agrees to help. He can also clean the dust from sofas, bookcases, and cabinets.
Floor
Let's move on to cleaning the floor.We move the transportable furniture — sofas, armchairs, chairs, tables — and carefully sweep all the corners and baseboards. Then we carefully wash the floor. If it is tiled, we add floor shampoo to the water and wash the floor with plenty of water. We sweep the water to the side with a rubber mop attachment, collect it and then wipe the floor with a well-wrung out cloth. We return to the windows, which we wash with glass cleaner. We hang the washed and damp curtains on the cornices — the curtains will dry on them and hang evenly, so there is no need to iron them.
Bathroom and toilet
Let's move on to cleaning the bathroom and toilet.First, remove the shower curtain and soak it in a bleach solution containing chlorine. This solution will remove all mold stains from the shower curtain. Collect all the bottles of detergent and shampoo in a large basin. Spray the bathroom, sink, and walls with a ceramic cleaner. Spread the foam and leave it on the surface for ten to fifteen minutes. Then rinse the foam with plenty of water, first from the walls, bathroom, sink, and then from the toilet. Rinse the shower curtain and hang it back up. Wash the mirror, dry all the bottles, and put them back in their places. Now move on to cleaning the kitchen.
Kitchen
We divide the kitchen into zones.We clean all the cabinets one by one, taking out all the contents. We sort through the dishes, separating them into what is needed and what is not, and load them into the dishwasher or into the sink, if there is no such machine. Fill the sink with hot water and detergent. While the dishes are soaking, we wipe the cabinets first with a rag soaked in dishwashing liquid, and then with a damp rag. We wipe the cabinets dry and leave their doors open for airing. We wash and dry the dishes, and put them in the cabinets after they are dry. We wash the stove and refrigerator in the same way: we soak their removable parts in a soap solution, wipe the inside and outside first with a soapy, then with a damp and dry rag and air out. All small items. Collected in the kitchen, - lids, corks and the like, - we collect them in boxes and place these boxes in the drawers of the cabinets. We clean the walls, windows, ceilings in the kitchen and bathroom in the same way as in the rooms. Ceramic tiles and marble table surfaces are washed with bath cleaner. This liquid removes limescale well. The final stage of cleaning is washing the floor in the kitchen and bathroom. We hang the curtains. Cleaning is finished! We recommend reading:
