I dream of having a cleaner house. Clean goes along with peaceful in my head, and I picture living in a home with everything neat and in its place. And that picture makes me happy.
The Housewife’s Handbook goes into great detail about how to keep things clean. In fact, it breaks tasks down into what you should be doing every day, every week, every month… It’s a lot of cleaning.
Here’s what the book says that you should do daily:
Sweep walks and porches; dust furniture and wood floors; brush upholstered furniture; clean rugs; wash bathroom fixtures and floor. Clean sinks and fittings and surfaces after each use.
Yeah, that’s right. Do all of that every single day. Maybe if I didn’t work, it wouldn’t seem so overwhelming. But I do work. And after work, sometimes I go to the gym, and then get home at 8:30 and have to try to figure out something for dinner. And, really, at 10pm, I’m going to start washing the bathroom floor and sweep the porch?
Guess what? Tonight, that’s exactly what I’m going to do! Tune in tomorrow to see how it goes!
