In fact, cleaning will be much easier if you change your mind about it. And to change it is easier than simple, it is enough to imagine what muscle groups you have working during cleaning, and that this is a free gym!
Now let's set aside the jokes aside, a bit of theory. The first thing to understand is that the mess in the apartment promotes the multiplication of all kinds of infections and harmful bacteria. Dust that accumulates on surfaces can bring a person with allergic reactions to insanity. Clothes that are never cleaned in a closet lose their beauty faster, and furniture that is not looked after becomes dull and old prematurely.
If you are allowed a salary, you can order the service "cleaning houses" in the company engaged in such activities, good, now they are quite a lot. If you have a child for whom you hire a nanny, then you can negotiate and pay extra, then cleaning at home will be done by her.
However, not everyone has the opportunity to hire people to get them cleaned up in an apartment or a house because income does not allow them. Also there are people who simply do not like the presence of strangers in the apartment, when the owners are not there. Then we change our view of this process - cleaning in the house! We clean with pleasure.

To maintain order, every day you do not need to be a superhero. It's enough just to be a neat person. Each of us parents from the childhood have accustomed to an order, and in fact now almost all we parents who do the same.
There are several important rules that you must follow:
- Things of daily wear should not lie anywhere, but do not hide them away. You need to get them easily.
- Always wipe your feet on the rug when you go inside the house.
- After coming from the street, be sure to immediately wipe the shoes. If the weather is rainy - immediately wash off your shoes, dry it before putting it in its place.
- If you spilled anything on the floor or furniture - wipe it off at this very moment.
- If you notice dust or dirt on the windows - do not be too lazy, wipe the glasses with the glass cleaner just the moment you saw it.
- On all surfaces you just need to hold a very well wrung out wet duster every day.
- You saw the garbage on the floor - sweep it.
- The floor must be cleaned with a damp cloth every day. For this, one does not need to be constantly bent into three deaths, there are very convenient inexpensive mops that have a washing nozzle and are easily squeezed out. You will have literally 15 minutes.
- Bath and washbasin after yourself - wash.
- Wash the toilet. For daily cleaning of the toilet, there have long been special blocks that are attached to its bezel and, flushing every time, you wash it lightly.
- Take out the trash can, without waiting until the garbage in it has to be trampled down. And every day, wash the bucket inside, if you do not use special bags.
- Wash dishes immediately after cooking and eating, leaving no fat to dry up.
- Try not to smoke in the apartment - the resin settles on the ceiling, the walls at the top with a yellow coating, which is then badly rubbed off. If you do not have the strength or desire to cope with this habit, allocate a separate room for smoking or use a balcony for this.
- Do not wipe your hands after eating about the curtains. Make it a rule to use napkins.
- Wipe all surfaces in the kitchen immediately after cooking, eating.
These elementary actions will help you to live in a cozy apartment. Encourage the love of cleanliness for your household and do it yourself. Then, when it comes to general cleaning in the house, you will have to do very little.
