A Clean House is a Happy House

On a recent weekend morning I had to clean my house.  After a long, tiring and stressful week at work it seemed a daunting task.  I gathered all my cleaning supplies together so I could do a thorough job.  I looked around and saw dust, clutter and fingerprints everywhere and my heart sank a little.

This task needed some organization so I grabbed a large basket and walked through the whole house.  I put any item that was not where it belonged, in the basket and put it away when I got to its proper place.  I took a deep breath and walked into the bedroom. The After changing the bed, straightening everything up and putting things away, I got down to the actual cleaning.  I made smudgy marks disappear with a microfiber cloth.  My furniture always shines without polish due to the fabulous job that microfiber does.  I removed cobwebs (even on ceiling fan blades).  I dusted all my collections and I vacuumed the carpet.

I saved the kitchen for last.

Every night after dinner, I clean the kitchen counter tops, quickly wipe down the cabinets and thoroughly mop the kitchen floor to finish the job.

The Best Part of a Clean House

Then I got to the really great part of why I LOVE a clean house.  I got to stand in the doorway and look around my now perfect home.  Everything sparkled!  The carpet showed  the lovely parallel tracks I made with the vacuum.  I was tired, but gratified.

I slept soundly that night (in my fresh clean sheets) and awoke to my beautiful, clean house.  Of course, the drawback is that as soon as I finished the task, the house began to collect more dirt and dust.  It’s a good thing I enjoy cleaning so much since it is, after all, a weekly job!

Why and how to clean my washing machine Did you know that your washing machine can collect dirt and harbor bacteria and fungus? There is a thin film created by soap residue, minerals and chemicals from detergent. This can cause a clog in the inner workings of your machine, your water won't be as hot and the film also traps odors. The tiny crevices in the drum and gaskets can collect mildew and bacteria from your clothes. They can also harbor fungus. If you have a top loader here are some steps to follow when cleaning : Wipe interior seals around the door with all purpose cleaner Remove debris around filter or drain Use 1 cup of white vinegar with 1/2 cup baking soda then run a cycle on heat If you have a front loader here are some tips to follow when cleaning: Have a small bowl or towel ready to catch any excess water Remove the filter from the small door on the front panel of the machine Shake over trash can and rinse out. Use 1/2 cup baking soda and 3 cups white vinegar to scrub inside the drum and rubber gaskets You can use washing machine cleaner which can be purchased on line if you prefer Remove the fluids dispenser to clean each tray with disinfecting wipes Wipe out the area inside where the dispenser is located with the wipes If you have a "clean cycle" run the cycle, otherwise run the largest load setting on hot We hope this has been a quick and helpful guide for cleaning your washing machine . Remember, your washer should always smell fresh not like mildew.
