Regular house cleaning tasks involve a combination of daily, weekly, and monthly chores to maintain a tidy and healthy living space, no matter the type. Having access to housekeeping services is a gift, but many of us trudge through this process by ourselves. Many divide the cleaning process into daily, weekly, and monthly.
I have a chart that helps me, but it doesn’t do the work. As we age, the bending, lifting, and repetitive motions make cleaning an overwhelming task, and sometimes a burden. Living in a well-ordered environment that is also clean is my lifetime habit. Reading some of the reviews of the $19.00 total house cleaning is discouraging, including some requiring a contract before they do the one-time cleaning.
When I was raising my children, everyone had some doable task. As adults, they have crafted their own solutions to their house cleaning and maintenance. Nowadays, I try to do mine in the morning when my energy is the highest and the temperatures are more moderate.
Do you have a cleaning service? Do you do your own cleaning, and how do you organize the process?
