[BlindTlk] House Cleaning

[Pamela Dominguez]

I've never used a broom.  I've only used vacuums and mops, and occasionally, 
gotten down on the floor to get stuff up.  Pam.

I've never been good at sweeping.  I use a vaccum mostly.  One thing that 
helps when sweeping is to try to sweep so it all ends up in one pile and 
then use a whisk broom to put it all into a dustpan.  But as I said, I am 
not that great at sweeping.  Perhaps Judy or someone has a better 
alternative technique.  Dividing your floor up into sections helps.

I've never used a vacuum before, so I'm practicing with a mop. The challenge 
for me is - how to keep all the dirty stuff in one pile without spreading it 
around? And not forgetting where I am?

Hello Jen,

I, just like Justin, am a bachelor. Or at least, as long as I can still live 
in apartment an. I'm currently in career transitioning, but that's another 
story.

Anyways, it really is possible to keep an apartment / home clean. What I've 
usually done, is make sure that the cleaning around the table, kitchen and 
counter areas I use every day are always clean, daily. I use disinfectant 
wipes and water. I usually clean in a grid pattern. For example, clean the 
area(s) moving vertically over the surface, and when you are done, move 
horizontally over said surface. But the key is to always be proactive and do 
it as often as possible. The concept applys also to floors. I bought a 
portable, battery powered vacuum cleaner that I can use for cleaning floors, 
and can also do corners quite well. It seems to work for me. As per windows, 
I always use Windex, cleaning and applying it with paper tissue, the thick 
variety.

Hope it helps.
