Five Cleaning Tips without Assistance

If you stay alone in your house without anyone who can help you doing all the cleaning and caring jobs, you may feel these things are pretty tiresome. I do. 

Since I hold all duties while my husband is  busy with his own job and I have no assistance so I need to clean entire rooms perfectly in an effective way.

I realize people usually perceive the home from its look. If the home is neat, well-organized, spotless, and has a good fragrance, they will enjoy being there and it can be a good signal if you do business
.
Now, I will write something I usually do to clean the rooms and entire house with small energy. I hope this post will help you too. :)


  • Before starting the cleaning process, it will be easier if you collect the things like decorations that are located on the walls, on the tables, racks, etc., and then put them all together in one big container. You need to turn off the fans (or Air Conditioner) so you can avoid the spreading of the dust, it will be a serious problem if you have asthma like me. 
  • Start to clean from upper side of the house to the lower area. You may need to clean the ceiling using the portable ladder, but please be careful so you will not get injured (you can read Portable Ladder Safety as a guide). Clean the hidden part, the walls, windows, doors, and floors.
  • If you have ceramic tiles as flooring, you can wipe using a wet cloth. If you have huge rug or carpet, you can use your vacuum cleaner to clean the dust on the carpet, then fold or roll the carpet so the good side of carpet inside the fold. Clean the dust below the carpet. It is a simple way to clear the dust alone without removing the super huge carpet. 
  • If you want to clean the decoration, make sure you understand their characteristics. If the decoration is good enough to be cleaned with dry cloth, just use it. You don't need to clean all in water with soaps.
  • If you want to clean the spill of foods and beverages by your kids, you may consider using disposable cleaning wipes. Choose one that contains antibacterial. I know it seems not a frugal choice. But it may work effectively if you only have small time to do many things in a row. 
Every time I learn to clean my home in an efficient and effective way. It is easier I think if we spend our time at least 15 minutes every day to clean any spot in the house and organize our stuff.

If we only clean the house every weekend, you will get the mess has already transformed to be a very bad monster! Yuck!
