Japanese housekeeping experts explain that they perform 4 cleaning tasks every Monday, from toilet and floor to vacuum cleaner dust box and entrance hall. Through daily management, they can make their homes cleaner and save more time and effort.
If you want to keep your home clean, you don’t necessarily have to spend a lot of time cleaning every day. The main thing is to incorporate cleaning into your daily life and develop a regular habit. Japanese media “ESSE” reported that “Pyokopyokop”, a mother of two who has a first-level cleaner qualification and has written books on household management, shared four cleaning tasks that she does regularly every Monday, including cleaning the toilet, dusting and mopping the floor, emptying the vacuum cleaner dust box, and wiping the entrance. By scheduling household chores at specific times, you can not only reduce the accumulation of dirt, but also avoid cleaning for too long at a time, making your household life easier in the coming week.
When getting up to use the toilet every morning, wiping easily soiled areas is a daily cleaning habit of “pyokpyokop”. On Mondays, she would mop the floors and clean the nozzle of the toilet bowl, clearing away the week’s accumulated dirt. Since it is simply cleaned every day, stubborn dirt doesn’t easily build up, and thorough cleaning doesn’t take much time.
She said that while she had not developed regular cleaning habits in the past, she always had to wait until the toilet was visibly dirty before she started cleaning. This process was not only troublesome but also time consuming. This was later changed to simple mopping every day and regular deep cleaning every week to keep the toilet clean for a longer period of time.
After finishing cleaning the toilet, she will first start the sweeping robot to remove dust and garbage on the floor. After the machine finishes cleaning, it will use a flat mop with a wet mop to freshen the floor.
Additionally, she will also use the dust mop to clean the sides of the refrigerator, above the chandelier, and other easily overlooked spots. These places are not easy to notice but dust easily accumulates. However, she will not force herself to complete all the work at once. If there is not enough time, she will postpone the remaining dusting work to the next day to avoid disturbing the cleaning work schedule.
