Cleaning your living room in a few simple steps
2014-03-05
It is said that you can clean any room to a presentable standard in fifteen minutes. If you keep these fifteen minute bursts of cleaning up, then you will be able to ensure that your cleaning is always being done to a great effect, as the regularity will ensure that each fifteen minute burst will get rid of all the dust and dirt that can accumulate over the week. Many people shirk away from cleaning too regularly believing that the cleaning takes ages and gets in the way of life. In fact, the cleaning will get in the way a lot less if you are clever about doing it more often, and will become much more of a casual thing that you do every now and again, rather than the massive pain in the neck that it tends to be normally.
The living room is a good example of how you can use step by step methods to get a place thoroughly clean, and the use of positive distractions will focus your mind on the cleaning steps, rather than what you would rather be doing at that moment in time!
Step 1. Put a favorite album on. This is important, if you love music it could be an album, or if you prefer other things then radio documentaries, plays, audio books will all work in the same way. Giving yourself something singular to focus on will ensure that you can get the job done without your mind wandering elsewhere. It may even make the process a little more enjoyable, and you can start to look forward to the next installment of the book, or the next new album you have bought!
Step 2. Roughly tidy up. You need to remove all things from the floor and sofa, return books and magazines to their places, put mugs and crockery back in the kitchen. This means that you are free to clean the rest of the room without having to leave the room again. Tidiness is key to cleanliness, and the tidied room will make it feel like you are halfway there already!
Step 3. Dust. Start high and work your way down, to ensure that you don’t push dust from one place to another that you have already cleaned. Using a feather duster for the higher places, and a hand held duster for the others, you should find that upping the regularity with which you dust rooms prevents the job from being too long winded. If you are having to shift large amounts of the stuff, then the whole thing can be a little difficult, which is not what you need!
Step 4. Polish. Door knobs, wooden surfaces, all need a wipe down with a cloth and the appropriate polish.
Step 5. Lift all the cushions off the sofas and arm chairs and beat them over the rub so that all crumbs etc. are removed. Leave the cushions off, and hoover down the inside of the sofas and chairs, to get rid of anything left in the cracks etc. Then return the cleaned cushions to the chairs, and vacuum the floor, which should have all the dust from the room in general on it!
Step 6. If you have a wooden floor, now is the time to mop it. Mopping after vacuuming is essential, as otherwise the mop can scratch the crumbs and dirt into the floor, ruining the finish. This should be the last step, as then you have knocked everything from the room onto the floor and then removed it!
