Good litter: why you need revenge from the door, and not to it
Yesterday I had to clean up a very dirty house. And not mine!
-Where to begin? - I thought, looking at the crumbs in the corners and the mourning strip of dried fat along the stove. And I remembered one golden rule of sweeping a very dirty floor.
New Year's holidays are in full swing! It's not soon to go to work. We continue our voyage to our relatives and friends.
In the morning I started my faithful 99th to go with my husband to friends "Out of town to the dacha". My husband and I now and so live deep outside the city, but the Moscow guests wanted exotic things and decided to gather friends (4 married couples) at their parents' dacha.
We arrived at the place with inspiration: they waited for a barbecue in the fresh air, a bonfire and gatherings by the stove. But, entering the house, I immediately realized that our rest will not work out simply)
The fact is that we arrived on January 3 in the morning. And on New Year's Eve itself, that is, from 31 to 1, another company rested in the house (the family and friends of the owner's second son). Either they left in a hurry, or they felt bad, or they were not brought up in the best way (which I don’t want to think about), but there was a pigsty throughout the house.
It turned out to be easy and quick to remove the scattered things and garbage: there were a lot of hands. But the floor, especially in the kitchen, looked disgusting: crumbs, blots of grease, moreover, old ones.
Maybe another person in my place would have spat and began to rest. But such a situation was uncomfortable for me and I decided to put the floor in order. So that it would be pleasant for me and the girls to cook a festive, country-style modest dinner.
Now about the main procedure of this article - litter) I call this to myself, as you probably already guessed, routine work with a broom.
I know that we are accustomed since childhood: revenge must be from the far corner of the room to the door. Firstly, you can't even sweep the garbage into the room. Secondly, the omen is that you will sweep out everything bad from the room.
But for some reason, just yesterday, looking at the layer of crumbs and dog hair, I remembered two advice from my friend. She works as a maid in a hotel and they have their own unspoken "rules" for cleaning.
The first rule is universal: When you get out, open the window. At least a little. The fresh air, especially the country air, is so encouraging. And some of the dust will be behind the glass. Into the hand of the mistress!
By the way, I read on the Internet now, my method "Revenge from the door inside" also has a magical basis. Allegedly, otherwise you can sweep out not only the bad, but also the good. But I do not believe in this nonsense and I advise you
So, here's the point of cleaning:
The maid, cleaning the room, begins to take revenge or vacuum from door to window. A little before reaching the window, you need to turn around and now move from window to door.
So it turns out that the dirtiest areas (in the working language - places with high traffic), it passes twice. And behind the curtains, you can wave it once)
It's faster than sweeping twice - but no less effective! I tried it today and I liked it. Have you tried that? What do you think?
In the evening I will also post a story about wet cleaning of a long-suffering kitchen, in which my husband criticized me after the "army" check the cleanliness of the floors - subscribe so as not to miss the very juice
