SEC13 WK1 “Keeping it clean”

edited in canva

Cleaning is an activity we carry out to keep a place neat or make something clean.

Cleaning is often performed for safety and hygienic purposes. Do you know cleaning is related to health? The level of your cleanliness determines your health level.

It is said that "if you want to live long, stay clean." I am sure this statement is 99% true. Staying in a dirty environment can cause health problems or disease, but living in a clean environment keeps us healthy.

I love cleaning because I cannot survive in a dirty or dusty room. Every day I sweep, dust, mop, and tidy my room; unless I don't have the time to do it, I can clean the next day.

I am a very sensitive lady, and a dirty environment affects me so easily, so I can tell when a room is dusty. Dust is an everyday thing, and we cannot notice it unless we clean.

Before	After

While cleaning, I use some cleaning agents, a bucket of water, a broom, and a duster. These items are the what I use in my cleaning.

Why did I do my cleaning? Like I said earlier, I don't like a dirty environment and cannot survive in it. I can contract a disease that will affect my health, so I am always careful in a dirty room. When cleaning is done in a room, oh, it brings freshness and a cool breeze into that room.

My bathroom and my kitchen are very sensitive parts of my house, and I give them thorough attention when it comes to cleaning.

My toilet seat I wash every day because no matter how white a toilet seat appears, there could be thousands of germs in it. We cannot see germs, but by cleaning, I am able to eliminate the germs and stay healthy.

The bedroom, especially the bed spread, I wash every week to avoid bed bugs. You know it can be dangerous, right? I also sun the bed once in a while to help the moist part. You know people sweat on the bed during the heat period, and when not properly dried, it can develop an odor in the room.

How I did my cleaning

Before	After

Before I start the cleaning process, my room must be arranged properly because I am this person who comes back from my day activities and drops things anywhere. I do that because I don't have the time to arrange it at night when I am back, so it had better remain there till the next day.

After putting things in order, I sweep the room thoroughly. You know every corner must be swept because I don't like sweeping just the walk-way but every hidden place. I do this because "everyday is for the thief, but one day is for the house owner." If I have a visitor and the person discovers the dirt I have been hiding for a long time, that would be embarrassing.

The next thing to do is dust. This is very important. I don't neglect this part because I am allergic to dust; my body reacts fast to it. So I dust every sensitive part of my room with a duster.

Cleaning with soap and water becomes the last thing I do. Water helps to calm the generated dust, and this I do lastly because it will help my room stay dust-free for a longer time.

Stay clean and stay healthy
