Tough cleanups are now easy

MANILA, Philippines - To help homemakers with tough cleaning jobs, here are tips from Pine-Sol.

• Make a list. Bring organization into the task by creating a checklist so you know the things that need to be done and when they are due. Set goals that are realistic so you’ll have a sense of accomplishment afterwards.

• Before and after. Like many lifestyle makeover segments on TV today, take before-and-after pictures. This is a great way to really see the difference. Exercise your creativity by rearranging some of the items and furniture, so you’re not just cleaning but redesigning your space.

• Ask why. Joyful cleaning starts within so try to uncover the reasons why you hate the task. Keep in mind that it is more productive to work and move around in an organized home. Enlist the help of family members so you’ll feel supported, or, if you’re the type who doesn’t want family members disturbing your cleaning, send the others out so you can have the house all to yourself.

• Beyond housecleaning. Motivate yourself with the thought that performing housecleaning tasks with your family members can teach kids important lessons like diligence and responsibility. Start early, involve your kids in simple house cleaning and keep this a family activity. This will equip them to handle bigger tasks someday.

• Make the job easier with Pine-Sol. It does not only clean your home, it also leaves behind a fresh, clean scent. It’s best for cleaning and deodorizing areas like the kitchen and bathroom, and spots like garbage bins, pet areas, diaper pails, and others.
