HOW MUCH HOUSE WORK CAN I DO IN 2 HOURS
This week is a week to help out a friend.
This is a 2 bedroom apartment, very tidy person, so nothing on floors.
The Lady likes to leave a list of what are the most important things that she would like to be done on the day.
So today, the kitchen, bathroom and some ironing
STEP 1
Go around and empty all the rubbish bins and check if anything needs special attention.
STEP 2
KITCHEN
There are a few pots in the sink
Give a quick wipe to the toaster ( remember to check the crumbs tray) and the kettle ( mainly to remove fingerprints and watermarks).
Wipe all the kitchen surfaces, remembering to remove the stainless still rods that are used to rest hot pans.
Wipe all watermarks from the backsplash around the worktop and cooker.
Give a quick wipe to all the cupboards doors and handles ( they are not dirty just have a few water marks and fingerprints)
Kitchen table
Wipe fingerprints from the glass door (not the ones that go outside, just the one in the kitchen)
Clean sink and tap
Sweep the floor
NOTE I like to pour a bit of bleach in the drains after cleaning the kitchen, not only keeps a clean drain it also removes tea stains from it ( do not leave it for too long)
STEP 2
BATHROOM
She does not have too many things on surface’s top.
Clean basin and taps
Clean shower
Clean toilet
Wipe the dust off the bathtub (no one used it, so it is clean but has a bit of dust )
Dust off the worktops and remove watermarks around the basin
Sweep floor
STEP 3
IRONING ( let’s see what we have )
2 double duvet cover
7 pillowcases
1 t-shirt
2 Napkins
ALL DONE
Because I still have a few minutes left, I went into her bedroom, puff up the pillows and straitened up her duvet and made the bed.
Give a quick sweep to the floor with a duster Sweeper
All rubbish out: normal rubbish, recycling and food recycling waste.
All done in 2 hours
VERY IMPORTANT: This Lady is super clean and does not have too many things on top of surfaces, does not cook that much, so a cooker is pretty easy to clean and she puts all her dishes in the dishwasher. This is the reason I can do so much in two hours.
