Saving Time and Energy

An organized home saves you time and energy.

How?

  • A clutter-free living space makes get your things organized. You don’t need to sort through many things just to be able to find a coupon or a receipt needed for a transaction.
  • An organized home will make the homeowner feel efficient and cut down time spent doing actual work.
  • An organized home is more often than not a clean home where harmful substances do not lurk to pounce on unsuspecting prey.
  • Dust if you must.
  • Schedule a clean up day and get rid of junk.
  • Clean as you go, a way for multi-taskers to organize their homes. Instead of checking your Facebook account while the laundry is cleaning itself, why not dust here and there, wipe the kitchen counters or sweep the floor.

You’d feel relaxed in an organized home. Doesn’t it feel good if you go to bed or you go home from a hard day’s work with all clutter gone?

That includes the used dinner plates which are calling out my name at this instance, haha.

Cleaning Up

Cleaning up is not a house chore that I look forward to. Sure, I could do that but I would rather do other things like cook, blog, homeschool, read a book, watch DVD, and sleep till noon.

At times I wish to be a SAHM so I can do the chores that need to be done.

It is just perfect that am able to bring our laundry to Lynn‘s shop and that chore alone has removed a big burden on my shoulders. Even backyard gardening seemed easy with Manang Salve around when I need her.

Back to cleaning up. What are some of the things we need, I mean I need to clean up?

Keeping Clean

One of the most important things we mothers want to achieve is to keep the home clean and worry-free.

Why so? Because germs have no “right” to be in places where they can cause harm to people, especially children.

Here are some basic materials and steps that homemakers need to keep the sanctuary called “home” clean and safe:

  • Brooms and dust pans, mops, rags, dust cleaner, scrubs and brushes. Discarded toothbrushes are also helpful.
  • Mold killers as well as mildew killers.  Vinegar and citrus juice as nontoxic alternatives.
  • Baking soda for cleaning counter tops as well as eliminating odors in laundry.
  • A long stick broom for reaching the ceilings to get rid of unwanted cobwebs.
  • Keep those plastic grocery bags to be used as lining to trash cans.
  • Separate the trash according to characteristics: wet (fruit and vegetable peelings) dry (boxes) and recyclables (galls and plastic bottles, tin cans and other materials made of plastic).

One does not need to do a thorough cleaning up everyday, a few minutes spent on cleaning will come a long way.
