The 5 Day Clean Sweep
Having worked in the cleaning industry for over 13 years I have come into contact with many thousands of individuals who hate cleaning! That’s why they come to us at Diamond Home Support.
Not everyone hates cleaning of course, indeed many of the cleaners that work with us absolutely love cleaning. It’s why they do it. But they are in the minority hence the demand for a local cleaning service continues to be high.
To help me, and many others like me who hate cleaning, I have developed a useful 5-day strategy to take you from Monday mess to Friday fresh!
I’ll tell you all about it later in this article. But first, why is it that we hate cleaning so much?
3 Reasons Why We Hate Cleaning
Before we go on to explain a really simple trick to make cleaning easier, let’s take a look at why we hate cleaning so much.
For some people there are dozens of reasons they can think of as to why they hate cleaning. But broadly speaking they tend to fall into 3 categories.
Cleaning is Time Consuming
In an age where demand on our time is as high as it has ever been it’s no wonder we struggle to fit the cleaning in.
Cleaning the house takes time and that time is squeezed when you take into account work commitments, family commitments, other chores (like cooking for example), and the need to rest and do the things we enjoy.
All of these things mean cleaning the house can get left or not done perhaps as well as we would want it to be.
Busy professionals, parents with children, people with caring responsibilities, those with hectic social lives, all struggle to find the time to clean.
Cleaning Takes a Lot of Effort
Cleaning requires physical exertion, which can be tiring. Tasks like scrubbing, lifting, or moving things around can be strenuous. For many this can put them off cleaning altogether!
After a hard day at work, or looking after the kids, cleaning just feels like the last thing you want to be doing.
It may be that you physically can’t do the things you used to and you’re frustrated that you either can’t do the cleaning, or can’t do it as well as you would want to.
Cleaning is Boring, Overwhelming, and Monotonous
Yes, who can argue with that?!
The vast majority of people just find cleaning a complete pain. Not all of course, many of our cleaners at Diamond Home Support love it! But on the whole most people just don’t see the attraction.
You clean something one day and within a few days, or even a few hours it’s untidy or unclean once again. Oh the monotony of it all!
How To Tackle Cleaning With Our 5-Day Clean Sweep
With so many reasons why we hate cleaning, or can’t clean, what is the solution? An obvious one of course is to use a local cleaning service like Diamond Home Support. But if you can’t do that, then I have a cunning plan for you.
The 5-Day Clean Sweep takes you from Monday mess to Friday fresh without any of the hassle.
The trick here is to spread the pain out across the week. That helps with time, effort and boredom! All of the things that often stop us from cleaning can be dealt with by tackling things little and often.
All the best plans are simple and my 5-Day Clean Sweep is very simple and straightforward. Here it is:
On Monday’s you do all of the dusting. Tuesday’s you vacuum the whole house. Wednesday you clean the kitchen and Thursday the bathroom/s. That leaves you Friday for anything else.
Best of all, by focusing on specific tasks each day you get into a memorable routine and are only cleaning for a short amount of time each day. That reduces time, effort and boredom.
Furthermore it gives you the weekend off to do the things you want to do.
