I don’t think  that women have genes for cleaning but it’s obvious to children that women tend to do housework more than men so girls get roped in or just watch more.

1.Get a plastic bucket or a tray or some other such thing and walk around each room collecting things which do no live there… assuming nobody else will do it.Then try to put them where they should be like  a bowl of hot water.Or a cupboard.Failing that keep them into a plastic laundry basket  or similar

2.Wash up.Now and then wash the sink with a suitable cleaner and the other appurtenances.Wash cloths  or use disposable ones.

3 Go into each bedroom, unless it’s an able bodied adult’s and sort through clothes etc… hang up or put in laundry basket.Train older children to do this.

3 Put clothes into Washing Machine.Examine labels for temperature.If you are  ucky you may have a machine with a Handwash programme.Use the right detergent… look it up!

4 Now and then it is wise to change your sheets etc as well as towels and other such items.These usually need a hotter wash to kill germs.Hang them outside if possible.You can buy large folding  clothes airers if you have no washing line.

5.Wash  or wipe the table[s].Polish if you like to…Wash the kitchen surfaces as often as you can manage especially if you cut  bread or bake.

6 Vacuum or sweep the floors.But dust first if you dust.Or wipe shelves with a damp cloth.

7.Wash  floors with a mop when appropriate…often if there are many people around.

5 Ironing kills germs.If you can afford it pay somebody else to do it if you are older or fragile.

6 Put away clean clothes,sheets etc. as soon as you can.. in my case it’s usually weeks!

7. Every hour or so make a cup of tea and sit down.Remember  some women do  all this  cleaning and tidying up for years and men often never notice until their wife is ill.Think.. it’s all possible if you think.

8 All that remains is to decide what to eat and to cook it and then wash up.This needs planning ahead  and shopping but keep a few emergency rations like  eggs,baked beans,cold meat etc.Remember fuit and veg…. even if you are alone.Maybe take a multivitamin and fish oil… good for heart and brain.

See it’s easy really…!

And it keeps you slim [ for a while]
