Have you ever noticed how hard it is to do things in your kitchen when it is a mess? Cleaning your kitchen will help you do things quickly and efficiently, without harm or incident. Growing up, cleaning the kitchen was a big, once a year job that we all pitched in on. It was more fun that way, putting on some music and cleaning side by side with my siblings, and the work got done a lot faster than if my mother did it all by herself let me tell you. The kitchen has to be the most complicated room in the house because of its many uses. Difficult to clean, it is also the most essential to clean. I'm not going to pretend this is an easy job, it's not. But it is worth keeping clean because if not kept up, germs, rodents, and sickness will take residence in your household. The kitchen will deteriorate and will be hard to work in, and more chance of getting sick. So let's get the worst part of cleaning over with.

Book excerpt: Introduction Deep Cleaning Window Frames Window Tracks Window Guards Screens Blinds Shades Shutters Curtains/Drapes Storm Windows and Skylights Windows Jalousies Time Monthly Cleaning Weekly Cleaning Daily Cleaning Apparel Supplies Cleaning on a budget Tips Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction Windows used to be the best source of light people had before electricity and were therefore kept very clean and well cared for. Nowadays, windows are one of the last things we think of when we think of cleaning (Unless you're like me and need to be able to see out the window at all times), because we really don't need them like we used to; and besides, who has time to worry about windows of which really don't matter when it comes to making your house look presentable right? Wrong. Windows are one of the little things you do to make your house look clean that makes a bigger difference than what you would think. It's like cleaning the entire bathroom and leaving the rug on the floor unshaken. It still has all the hair and dirt and lint on it and makes people wonder what else is not all clean in there. Okay so it's not that bad when people see your windows aren't washed, but it doesn't give your home a very spick and span feeling about it when you look out the window and see smudges of grease from your forehead or nose (we all have them don't deny it). Especially when you have kids, they are going to get dirtier faster because kids have some kind of an attraction to windows that adults cannot fathom, though we were children once ourselves. Cleaning windows is important to giving your home a bright, clean feeling and this book is meant to tell you how to clean them as good as a professional.

Book excerpt: Table of Contents Introduction Deep Cleaning Cabinet Dusting The Mirror Soap Dish Sink Tubs/Showers Shower Curtain Bidets Commode (toilet) Rugs Toilet Brush and Cup Floors Garbage's Time Monthly Routine Weekly Routine Daily Routine Types of Bathroom Ware Apparel Cleaning supplies Cleaning on a budget Tips Conclusion Author Bio Publisher Introduction The bathroom has to be the most used room in the entire house, but nobody wants to clean it. Why? Well for starters, it's a disgusting job, but I think you'll agree that cleaning a bathroom is a task that is not to be taken too lightly, it can cause sickness or worse if you just let it be. It's a big job most of the time and often we don't know where to start, a lot of the time and we tend to leave it until it is so filthy that we can no longer stand it. But I think we can all agree that there is nothing more disgusting than going to someone's house and using a filthy bathroom. I once went to a friend's house and had to use their bathroom. The stench in that room nearly killed me off! So I decided I would rather go in my pants than use that bathroom (I didn't if you wanted to know. We left for home before I went to those drastic measures). So even if it's just for the neighbors we should clean it. Though it doesn't excuse the fact that it is a big job every single time you clean it.Well, I'm here to tell you that even deep cleaning it can be less of a big deal when you know how to go about it. All it takes is a plan, some rags, cleaners and some desire.

Download or read book Unf ck Your Habitat written by Rachel Hoffman and published by St. Martin's Griffin. This book was released on 2017-01-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The perfect housekeeping guide for somebody who is overwhelmed with their mess and can’t figure out how to start." –Lifehacker “An accessible guide on how to clean for normal people." –Livestrong "It actually changed my life and my home; I’m serious." –Book Riot Finally, a housekeeping and organizational system developed for those of us who'd describe our current living situation as a “f*cking mess” that we're desperate to fix. Unf*ck Your Habitat is for anyone who has been left behind by traditional aspirational systems. The ones that ignore single people with full-time jobs; people without kids but living with roommates; and people with mental illnesses or physical limitations. Most organizational books are aimed at traditional homemakers, DIYers, and people who seem to have unimaginable amounts of free time. They assume we all iron our sheets, have linen napkins to match our table runners, and can keep plants alive for longer than a week. Basically, they ignore most of us living here in the real world! Interspersed with lists and challenges, this practical, no-nonsense advice relies on a 20/10 system (20 minutes of cleaning followed by a 10-minute break; no marathon cleaning allowed) to help you develop lifelong habits. It motivates you to embrace a new lifestyle in manageable sections so you can actually start applying the tactics as you progress. For everyone stuck between The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up and Adulting, this philosophy is more realistic than aspirational, but the goal is the same: not everyone will have a showcase of a home, but whatever your habitat, you deserve for it to bring you happiness, not stress.

Download or read book The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning written by Margareta Magnusson and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2018-01-02 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *The basis for the wonderfully funny and moving TV series developed by Amy Poehler and Scout Productions* A charming, practical, and unsentimental approach to putting a home in order while reflecting on the tiny joys that make up a long life. In Sweden there is a kind of decluttering called döstädning, dö meaning “death” and städning meaning “cleaning.” This surprising and invigorating process of clearing out unnecessary belongings can be undertaken at any age or life stage but should be done sooner than later, before others have to do it for you. In The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning, artist Margareta Magnusson, with Scandinavian humor and wisdom, instructs readers to embrace minimalism. Her radical and joyous method for putting things in order helps families broach sensitive conversations, and makes the process uplifting rather than overwhelming. Margareta suggests which possessions you can easily get rid of (unworn clothes, unwanted presents, more plates than you’d ever use) and which you might want to keep (photographs, love letters, a few of your children’s art projects). Digging into her late husband’s tool shed, and her own secret drawer of vices, Margareta introduces an element of fun to a potentially daunting task. Along the way readers get a glimpse into her life in Sweden, and also become more comfortable with the idea of letting go.

Download or read book How to Keep House While Drowning written by KC Davis and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2022-04-26 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If you're tired of staring at the same mess every day, but struggling to find the time and willpower to clean it, you probably have a very good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. Designed by therapist KC Davis, this revolutionary method of cleaning and organizing helps end the stress-mess cycle. After KC Davis gave birth to her second child, she didn't fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. Between postpartum depression and ADHD, she felt numb and overwhelmed. She regained her sanity--and the functionality of her home--after one life-changing realization: You don't work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as "I can never keep up" and a chaotic kitchen as "I'm a bad mother." Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, "I am alive," and at stacks of dishes and thought, "I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row." Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to stop following perfectionist rules that don't make sense for you--like folding clothes that don't wrinkle anyway, or thinking that every room has to be clean at the same time--and to find creative solutions that accommodate your needs, pet peeves, daily rhythms, and attention span. Inside, you'll learn exactly how to customize your approach and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to stop seeing care tasks as a reflection of your worth, but rather as kindnesses to your future self -How to use calming rituals to keep you from feeling overwhelmed when you look at a big mess -How to stagger tasks that are easy to procrastinate throughout the week and month -How to quickly transform a room from messy to fully functional through the "5 Things" tidying method, and other shortcuts requiring minimal energy Read this book to make home feel like a sanctuary again: where you can move with ease, where guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists have no place, and where you always have permission to rest, even when things aren't finished.
