Benefits of Cleaning

Ok so most people struggle with this. A bit about my background.

Hoarder ***

First husband and his parents had trapped me in a literally toxic hoarder living space. We had spiders, mice, ants!! I walked around barefoot and contracted a serious infection, cellulitis, that required weeks of antibiotic infusions to solve (I also had bacteremia).

I was disabled couldn't clean and the three fully able adults I lived with refused to do it.

I eventually realized I would literally die if I stayed and fled the house of horrors!!

Staying Alive

So clean is now very important to me. People come into my home cannot believe how clean it is despite I spend most of my time in bed now!! I do all the cleaning and cooking myself and they really can't bend their minds around that either!

I have held jobs in commercial kitchens and restaurants so that's cooking. Cleaning I also did professionally so here are some tips from me how do I do it????

How I Do It

• I never let it go to disaster relief needed. If you have done so, get help restoring your home to a clean, safe, nice space to be in. Because your physical and mental health depend on it.
• I clean messes as I go. When I finish in the kitchen, everything is wiped down, put away and dishes soaking in the sink. If the floor needs a sweep and mop, I look for the mess and sweep only the mess. If mopping is needed, I spray cleaner directly on what needs the mop and then mop up the spots.
• Dishes soak overnight I rinse and put away in the morning. No scrubbing the soapy water dissolved stuff and the soap has a sanitizing effect. So it is just rinse and put away. Yeah I just put them away. Pro kitchens do exactly that!!
• Toilet messes get cleaned immediately. If I left some stains I shoot some toilet bowl cleaner into the bowl, give it a quick scrub and use the brush. At the same time I get any yucky areas around the seat. I don't use the brush ON the seat but it is good for behind and underneath it!!
• If there are spots on the floor or sink I wipe them up immediately.
• I rinse my mop in the bathtub AND use it simultaneously to clean the tub and walls!! Use the shower move the head around to give everything a good rinse, let dry.

I spend very little time cleaning and most of my time in bed.

This works!!!
