A clean home, a clear mind

Cleaning our environment should be our first priority because a clean environment gives a healthy life to people, and that is why cleaning is very important and necessary to everyone.

I was brought up by a strict mother who doesn’t joke with cleaning; hygiene is her first concern whenever day breaks. She is also a nurse, which means she knows the importance of a clean environment and the disadvantages of staying in a dirty environment as well.

I love cleaning my house every day to keep good hygiene and to make sure I don’t invite any sickness around me, so here is what I do to keep my environment clean and safe from sickness that might come with dirt.

The first thing I do whenever I wake up is to enter my kitchen because that is where I cook, and once that place is dirty, it means I am going to consume something else with my food that would be made in that kitchen. I wash my plates and clean my plate rack; after that, I will clean the rest of the kitchen.

The main reason why I always clean the plate rack was because there is always water under it, which could attract bacteria into my plate, and once I eat with the plate, I have automatically consumed bacteria, which I wouldn’t like.

After that I will move back to the bedroom for a proper cleaning; the bedroom is one I can’t do without in a day, and I don’t like any form of dirt in my bedroom, so I always start from under the bed by sweeping it out, and of course I will mop it right after sweeping.

Lastly, I will move back to the sitting room; this particular place is where most people see when they come to visit, and I wouldn’t want any form of dirt there. I will clean everywhere thoroughly before going out because I need to go to work.

I don’t keep dirty clothes because it attracts bacteria as well, so after every cleaning, I made sure to wash the clothes I wore yesterday, which might just be one or two, so there is no stress doing that since it is not much.

During my off day at work, I always made sure to cut the grass in the environment and then packed it somewhere to dry so that I could burn it. I do this often because my area has a lot of bush, and once I allow too much bush in front of the house, it might attract snakes, pests, and, of course, mosquitoes, which I would like to see if they manage to enter into the house. I do the outside cleaning with my husband since it has to do with cutting grasses, and I can’t do it alone.

One thing I love about cleaning my environment is that it gives good scents, and that alone made me want to do it more and more because that makes me happy, and I know when I start raising kids they wouldn’t condone any form of dirtiness because I wouldn’t let them grow up in a dirty environment just like how I was raised.
