Cleaning once a week

Now I will explain the cleaning you can do once a week:

Start with the bathroom and toilet: if you have windows in the bathrooms open them. We assume you are giving a pass to the sinks, tub or shower and toilets each day so simply sanitize them with cloth soaked in bleach and water. If there are remains of soap in the toilets then pass first a cloth dampened with a specific product for bathrooms, rinse and then sanitize, leaving a few minutes acting with bleach and water. I advise not to mix the cleaner with bleach to save steps, because apart you subtract bactericidal power to bleach the mixture can be very toxic.

Put to soak the soap dish to go peeling soap residue, if you have glasses for toothbrushes sanitize them wash them well.

If you have a screen shower spray it with any glass cleaner and if the are limemarks put some decalcifying product. If you have a curtain rinse it with the handle of the shower and spread it to dry well avoiding mold growth.

Rinse the bleach from sinks, toilets, tub or shower, it is often useful to take a cleaning pill in the tank toilets to soften tartar deposits that may exist.

Give one pass the tiles around the toilet, they always have the occasional splash and if you have a closet or shelf give it a pass with a damp cloth.

Now clean the mirror with glass cleaner, rinse and dry the toothbrushes glass and soap dish. Clean and sanitize countertops. Now empty the tank to change the water.

Once done turn dry, ideally are lint-free cloths or may be old cotton shirts. This is important because ultimately helps keep restrooms free of limescale.

* A tip: once dry sinks, toilets, tub or shower and screen shower I advise you spray some cleaner wood furniture product containing silicones or waxes, rub thoroughly until dry. You will see the porcelains are bright, and most importantly, be kept clean for several days. It is important, as I mentioned you to dry them daily to prevent soap and fat layer formation that usually sticks on sinks and tubs, above.

Now sweep and mop the floor and let the window open until everything is dry.

In the kitchen you will clean and sanitize the sink, counters and table. Give a pass by the door of the oven, microwave, refrigerator, especially the handles, which have usually more stains. Also clean the cabinet doors and drawers, especially those closest to the stoove, they are always dirtier.

As always some water are splashed on the floor I advise you to sweep and scrub the floor to eliminate footprints.

Finally, another weekly task would be to change the sheets on all beds and wash them, along with pyjamas or other nightwear. Personally I like to change them on Friday, because as in the weekend we take the opportunity to sleep more time is comforting lie between some sheets that smell clean and fresh.

In this way you have the housework organized to help you to keep your house in order every week and without much effort.
