I am currently writing a series of articles which are aimed at what I call cleaning reduction! Strictly speaking these domestic cleaning tips are focused more on minimising the domestic cleaning requirements of your household, by explaining ways that you can reduce the spread of dirt, grime and germs throughout your property.

This cleaning reduction tip is or should be quite obvious, when you have finished cooking and eating your food place your dirty pots, pans and plates etc into your dishwater after first scraping the waste off them. If you unfortunately do not posses a dishwasher then wash every thing up by hand. Do not let your washing up build up, as within a couple of days you will find unhealthy mould starting to grow on the food waste.

New cleaning reduction tips are always more than welcome.

Domestic cleaning tip No62 gives advice on chicken muck.

This tip is based on a personal experience of mine that happened many years ago when I used to work on council house maintenance. I went along to replace a ceramic tile above a kitchen work surface and I was warned that the clients’ property was a touch smelly. Upon arriving at the house on that warm summers afternoon I could detect what smelt like chicken s–t/muck and when I opened the clients back gate I was greeted by chickens and a back garden that was totally covered in well chicken muck. I carefully tip toed towards the back door and when the client opened the door to let me in out popped two or three chickens. The chicken muck was also all over the ground floor of the property. The client went on to explain that the chickens had the run of the downstairs but that they were not allowed to go upstairs! My stomach was reaching and I could not face doing the job and turned around and left. I did end up getting a rollicking from my boss for refusing to do the job!

You can certainly prevent yourself a lot of cleaning by keeping your chickens out doors.

Chimney sweeping

This tip is or should be quite obvious, if you have a coal fire and instead of hiring a professional chimney sweep you decide to clean your chimney yourself make sure that you cover up your carpets and furniture with old sheets.

Also and more importantly secure a board up against your fire surround and make an hole in it just big enough for your chimney sweep rods to go through as this will drastically reduce the amount of soot that escapes into your room.

We once had a client who we had provided a domestic cleaning service for around about six months with absolutely no problems, until one day our domestic cleaners came back saying they couldn’t gain entry to the property. A man that our domestic cleaners had never seen before had slammed the door in their faces saying he had never had or wanted a cleaner.

Upon further investigation it appeared that the lady of the house had signed our domestic cleaning agency agreement and not informed her husband. She had led him to believe that she was keeping the house spotless herself. She was paying us the domestic cleaning agency from her own bank account and supposedly he never saw her statements.

If there’s anything I have learned from this experience it is that if at all possible when I go out on a client visit I try to make sure that couples are always together!

The most likely origin of spring cleaning can be traced right back to the ancient Jewish practice (over 700 years prior to Persian culture emerging) of comprehensively cleaning their homes in readiness for the spring-time holiday of Passover.

In remembrance of the Jews’ hasty flight from Egypt following their captivity there, during the eight-day holiday there is a strict prohibition against eating anything which may have been leavened. Jews not are not only supposed to refrain from leavened foodstuffs, they are expressly commanded to rid their homes of even small remnants of chametz for the length of the holiday. Therefore, for the past 3,500 years, observant Jews have conducted a thorough “spring cleaning” of the house, followed by a traditional hunt for chametz crumbs by candlelight on the evening before the holiday begins.

The origins of spring cleaning are thought in some quarters to date right back to the Iranian Norouz or the Persian (Iranian) new year, which falls on the first day of spring.  This theory although as been questioned, because Iranians and many of the population of the old Persion empire lived by a lunar calendar and not a solar calender and spring was never calculated many years ago in the same way that our present day society calculates it.

Present day Iranians still continue their regular practice of “khooneh tekouni” which literally means “shaking the house” just before the start of their new year. This practice means that everything in their house is thoroughly cleaned, including their curtains and furniture.

I am writing a series of small articles that are aimed at what I call domestic cleaning reduction! Strictly speaking these cleaning reduction hints are focused more on the minimising of the domestic cleaning requirements in your household, by explaining ways that you can reduce the spread of dirt and germs throughout your household.

This tip is aimed more, or at least it ought to be at the younger members of the family. When your children have been outside playing and then come back into the house with filthy dirty hands as children often do, it is good practice to get them to wash their hands before they start touching furniture and laying on the carpets as this will save the dirt from falling off their hands onto your furniture and carpets.

This simple bit of advice if followed might well save your carpets requiring many shampooes over the course of time.
