Calgary Cleaning Services: The One-Step Cleaning Mantra

The post The One-Step Cleaning Mantra appeared first on http://calgarycleaningservices.org

Some folks are too busy to clean. Others can’t face starting to clean – the last thing they want to do after coming home from work is pick clothes off a teenager’s floor. And others get intimidated by clutter and let things pile up. You can hire professional help, but first why not try this mantra that works wonders.

Take it out and put it away

Simple. Put things away when you’re done with them. Put dirty clothes straight in the basket ready to wash, not strewn across the floor. Wash dishes right away in two minutes after a meal or put them straight in the dishwasher. Wipe crumbs and spills off the counter as soon as you see them, and your home will look cleaner in no time. Healthier, too.

Throw it away, or give it away

For roomfuls and bigger messes, get two garbage bags. One for things to donate; one for things to keep. Start with your most cluttered room, get stuck in and you’ll soon be making progress, filling up those bags.

It’s easier than ever to find a donation center that’ll take your unwanted stuff. Find a local shop supporting a cause you like, and check if they accept the things you want to donate. Even easier, take the items, especially clothes, next time you go to the supermarket and deposit them in the donation bins there.

Outgrown, unworn and out-of-fashion clothes, extra dishes and glasses, things you’ve never used – somebody will want them, why not give them away? Even things charities can’t sell have value from recycling.

These mantras don’t just work for your mess. Try them on your mail. Deal with each bill when it arrives. File it away, and check if you can switch to paperless billing. Put newspapers and magazines straight in the recycling when you’ve read them. And the junk mail goes straight in there without being read. No point piling it up. Who needs it?

Remember these two mantras and your home will become less cluttered and stay that way.
