A little background...

How it all started...

So writing this blog does not make me a an authority of all things related to cleaning! I have just spent a lot of my life doing it!

When I was a kid growing up I would work for the older ladies in the neighborhood and mow small yards. I also babysat most every weekend. I always liked helping people out and hanging around kids. When I was called one day to assist with a housecleaning of a really good friend whose regular assistant was ill I said yes! Why not! Well I loved it! I made a hourly wage and I was having fun! I then was referred by my friends to a house I could take on my own, that was it I was hooked! I can be independent, make money, be on my own schedule around my family's schedule and needs and so that's how I got started. I still had after school babysitting too!

Life goes on things change, kids grow up move away and you get more time on your hands! Liking to have a routine I decided to step my work up a notch and instead of working a few days a week I decided to work every day, but keeping it on a school schedule. My husband is a teacher so that schedule works for me. We love to travel!

God is good! I barely had the thoughts and within a week of just thinking it, I had a full schedule!

Today's tip:

Since this is a beginners blog, I thought we could go back to the basics of House cleaning.
First of all treat each room as a separate project so to speak. Depending on size of house, apt etc. When getting organized to clean I like to start at the entry way and work myself through the house in a clockwise progression. Working left to right top to bottom. Having cleaning supplies (rags and chemicals), vacuum and trash bags with me! This is a long process so don't forget snacks and water/tea!
Think to yourself what is first thing you see when you enter your place of living? Make that where you start!
Until next time when we break it down room by room! Happy cleaning!

Quick tip:

Don't forget that a paper towel isn't used up after drying your hands; use it to mop up some splashed water or dust a crevice!

Have a blessed day and don't forget the music!
