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.
