There are many reasons our homes might not be as up-to-date with the cleaning as we’d like to be. Perhaps you work full time, and the thought of coming home to another mammoth task is just too much? You may even be sick of doing all the work yourself, only to watch the rest of the family leave their dirty pants and socks all over the place? Happily, whatever the reason there is a way forward with the cleaning to ensure your home is spick and span. Just read the post below to find out what that is.
You Feel It’s Pointless
It’s a pretty sure thing that moms all over the world feel totally fed up with all the cleaning that they have to do. Only to see their home return to being the messy pits they were beforehand because the other members of the family are pitching in to help.
This can be incredibly frustrating and can easily make you throw your hands up in the air and declare that you are no longer going to do all the work. However, as everyone else seems to be totally oblivious with regard to how the floor stays free of mud, and the clothes get washed, you have no other option but to keep on doing it.
It’s not the 1950’s, so get everyone to help out with the cleaning.
Although, wouldn’t it be great if everyone had their own jobs to be responsible for? Then not only would you have less to do, but they would get some idea of how hard you work to keep the place clean and tidy too.
You Don’t Have the Time or Energy
Working, raising a family, being a good friend and family member take time and energy. Unfortunately, once you have ticked off of these things off of your to-do list, you may find that you have little of either left for cleaning.
To deal with this, you can do one of three things. The first is cut back on your working hours and social time, so your house is kept clean. Not something that most people think is a good idea. The second is that you get some assistance with the home cleaning by employing someone to help you. This is a fantastic option because it means you’re free to do the things you need to, and you are helping the economy and the person themselves by providing them with a job.
The last option is to schedule in a specific time for you cleaning tasks in the week and make sure no matter what you keep to this. Of course, you will need a hefty supply of discipline for this, but it can work. Especially if you schedule it in before anything else, so you know you’ll have the energy to get through it.
You Don’t Know Where to Start
On occasion, the house can get in such a state that it becomes so overwhelming you just don’t know where to being with the cleaning and tidying. Something that means you don’t begin at all, and just leave it. Hoping that if you ignore, it might go away, or you might receive a flash of inspiration on how to deal with it.
Obviously, this never works, and you are much better off making a list of the things that need doing instead. Then you can work your way through them methodically until your home is as clean and tidy as possible.
