The beginning
Cleaning your home is not rocket science, but at times it does take science to solve your cleaning dilemmas. The ultimate book on cleaning your house sounds daunting but most problems can be solved with a little know how. I’m going to put forth a very simple plan that anyone can use by adjusting it to their circumstances. Whether your accommodations are modest or grand, this book will help you to make your life a little easier, and your home a more comfortable place to be in.
So let’s get started. Don’t be afraid this won’t hurt; in fact it should be fun. And what could be more fun than going shopping? So let’s put together a list of what you will need to make this a successful project:
1. A two gallon bucket
2. A brass squeegie for windows and mirrors3. A good scrub brush
4. A bottle of tilex mildew for the bath5. A bottle of your favorite window cleaner
6. A bottle of Lysol disinfectant yellow color7. A bottle of Mrs. Meyers cleaner
8. A plastic cup for rinsing down shower walls9. A small container filled with laundry detergent powder form only
10. A sponge with scratch pad on one side large11. Micro-fibre cloths for washing and dusting
12. A good vacuum with attachments13. A mop that rings out well
14. A fluffy for cob-webs15. A razor-blade scraper
These are the articles in my bucket. After thirty years believe me I’ve got it down to a precise science .I know it seems like a lot of things but they will last a long time and all you will have to do is replace them when necessary.
Of course there are many other cleaning products to choose from; products for silver, copper, crystal, acrylic and so forth. We will list them in another chapter and explain what to expect from each of them and many more.
So this is the beginning. Let there be light --just kidding--but not really. Do turn on the lights as you can’t see the dirt without the lights on.
