Cleaning the whole house?

Question

my mom is making me clean the whole house as a punishment for not doing my chores while my company was over.... How do I acomplish that task I dont know were to start???HELP

Answer 1

I would start by getting off the computer. You have posted 5 questions so far today and could have had a good jump start on your cleaning by now.

Go room by room and you will be done in no time. Apologize to your mom for not doing your chores yesterday and stay on top of them in the future. This way you will build trust back in with your mom and show your maturity. Good luck!

Answer 2

I have to clean the whole house all the time and it's not even punishment! If you look at the task as a whole it'll seem very overwhelming, so the best thing to do is to break it up into rooms or areas. Make a list of each room you have to clean and under each room, make a short list of each thing you have to do for each room.

For example:
1. Kitchen
- Wash Dishes
- Clean Counters
- Sweep & Mop floor

2. Bathroom
- Clean Toilet
- Clean Tub
- Wipe counter
- Mop floor

Start with the easy rooms so that you get a lot more done quicker and you'll get into the mode of cleaning. As you accomplish each task, check it off. When the check marks start piling up, you'll feel good about it and you'll see how much you've finished. Make it fun too....no one said cleaning has to be boring. Pump up the music and dance around. You'll get some good exercise that way!

And next time, make sure that you and your friends clean up after yourselves ;)

Well, why don't you do like they say and make a game out of it. If all your friends are there with you, why don't you all pitch in and clean the whole house together?

Several years ago something like this happened to a friend of mine. We were all there visiting her and she had not done her chores before we got there. She was thinking that mom wouldn't say anything as long as we were there. She was wrong. Her mom told her she had to clean the whole house, even if she had company, that she should have thought about it before we all got there and she was ordered to work while we were there. We all decided to pitch in and help her out. For the bigger rooms, two of us cleaned them and the smaller ones, one of us done one room each. The whole house was clean within one hour and we even cooked the evening meal for us and the whole family and cleaned up behind us. So what was turning out to be a bad thing turned into a good thing and had fun doing it. Try that and see if it works. Hey that is what friends are for!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! if you'll exuse me,i have to clean the whole house twice a week,ok you might want to start with the bathroom,i always like to get the hardest part done first,you need to scrub the toilet, mop the floor,take the towels out to be washed, and last,spray the room with disinfectant spray.then srart on the kitchen, wash the dishes and put them in the dish washer,and when you wash them,don't put certain pots and pans in the dish washer! if they are black and heavy,and i think they are made of iron, then don't put them in,just wash them extra good.then sweep the floor,and then mop unless you have a swifer,if you have a swifer it helps alot!you should know how to clean you'r room,so do that,then take out the trash and you should be done.


keep in mind i am 12 years old and do this twice a week,so if i can do it so can you!

tip: you can take 5/10 minute brakes after you are finished with a room.

Answer 5

Well honey its very simple.Do the kitchen first. Wash off the floor then mop it. Wash,wipe dry any dishes and put them away.
Next clean the bathrooms, a bit of bleach,jif and a sponge will get everything sparkling. Last bit do the vacuuming and mop the floors.Then dust.
If you really want to be in her good books.
Fold away any laundry,tidy up your room,and I can promise you , you will be forgiven, and be the STAR!!

Answer 6

Pick a room. Put away things that are out of place. Toss any trash in the trash, and recycle any recyclables. Dust furniture, sweep and mop the floor, if it's a floor, or vacuum if it's a rug.

Pick another room. Repeat.

Start with whatever seems the easiest room.

Answer 7

Rather than starting room by room i do it this was first of all loud music of your choice helps you get going. Then take a garbage bad. Go around the house and pick up.. all garbage. Then go to laundry.. Then toys (kids) books dishes and so on till nothing is left but vacuuming and dusting... That house is Clean before you know it. it is was easier than room by room...

Answer 8

the best way to start is by picking up and putting away things that are laying around here and there ....

i tend to float thru the house when i clean, weaving in and out of rooms doing this or that room by room... i dont stay in any room for long but i will be back... that is how i started doing it at some point, probably because with kids they float from room to room too so i probably just followed their trails...

best thing, just start doing something... it will usually fall into place once you start...

Answer 9

Start with the room you dislike to do the least, first. Take it one room at a time,finish it before you go to the next.

Answer 10

start with the most difficult and annoying tasks ..........for instance the bathrooms . start by cleaning those one at a time . then the kitchen floors ............it really shouldn't be that bad , unless you live in a mansion ..............

dont sweat it ...........just take it one step at a time .

good luck !
