Clean Your House for a Better Social Life

Have you ever gone to a friend’s house and found that their house is in complete shambles?  They don’t clean up after themselves properly and you wonder how anyone can live in such filth.  Thankfully for some people, they do recognize they need help so they advertise jobs for house cleaners.  However, one has to wonder why they don’t pick up after themselves in the first place.

It is true that these days, life is more hectic.  It seems as though we have more responsibilities than the previous generation or perhaps that’s from our perspective.  We work more overtime and we are at the company’s beck and call if we want to keep our jobs.  It seems as though who has time for house cleaning when you can just hire a cleaning service?

Or perhaps it is because some people never learned the life skills required to keep a proper house.  Some lucky individuals grew up with nannies and housekeepers or perhaps they came from an old fashion family where the mom did all the house cleaning work.  However, you’re a grown up now and there’s no reason why you can’t keep a clean house.  Frankly, housekeeping is an important life skill.  After all, who wants to be married or be partners with a slob?

If you truly cannot organize and clean the house properly on your own, you can get help as mentioned.  Some people might consider it a luxury while others consider it a necessity due to the condition of their house.  Others even find justification for hiring housekeeping help because they can make better use of their time like making more money to cover the cost of house cleaning.

No matter your solution to a messy house, it needs to be addressed because the home should be a place where you can be proud of.  Living in a pig sty would seriously limit your social life.

It's time to "green" that cleaning routine! Millions of Americans are replacing harsh chemical cleansers with eco-friendly alternatives. Unfortunately, most commercial green cleaners are expensive, and they often come with dubious environmental claims. Effective, nontoxic alternatives can be mixed up easily from kitchen staples — baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice, herbs, and borax — plus a handful of easy-to-find essential oils. In the second edition of The Naturally Clean Home, Karyn Siegel-Maier offers 150 all-natural recipes for cleaning every area of the home — from bathrooms to bedding, and from carpets to cabinetry. Siegel-Maier, a writer specializing in complementary therapies whose work is featured in such publications as Mother Earth News and Natural Living Today, presents quick recipes for cleansers that are nontoxic, biodegradable, and freshsmelling. Formulas are so simple that even a novice can make them, yet they are as effective as the commercial options. Best of all, these recipes are much less expensive than commercial cleaners; most can be made for mere pennies per use. With the second edition of this popular book comes a host of hard-working new recipes, including Rosemary-Geranium Floor Wipes for electrostatic floor mops, Thyme to Make Your Own Carpet Steamer, Weekend Warrior Wicker Wash, Telephone Dirty Talk Tamer, Clear the Air Room Spritzer, and Lavender Lift Automatic Dishwasher Soap. Siegel-Maier also offers recipes for outdoor spaces — like Shoo-Fly Shake to keep flies away from your backyard barbecue — and covers areas less commonly considered in the cleaning routine: garden, houseplants, computer, even the septic tank! Whether scrubbing or scouring, degreasing or dusting, The Naturally Clean Home makes it fun to mix up chemical-free products that are easy on home and planet!
