#cleaning

I started doing this different approach for #cleaning up rooms in a house. It reduces the mental stress while also assuring me that I don't have to do as much immediate work.

Using tallies.

in each room I'l put a peace of paper, with tallies. One time that I step in a room, would add one tally to the total.

and instead of tallying up to 5, i'l tally up to 3. 3 tallies means it is time to clean up *that room.

Each room has it's own sip of paper where I mark down the tallie of how many times I walk in a room.

Once a tally for one room is complete for a day, then no more tallie to add up to that room untill the next day.

You can try restricting the amount of times you have to clean a room based off of the tallys per week.

The idea is to reduce the emediate stress feeling of having to clean up a bunch of rooms, while also giving you feedback to clean a room with good activity that might need it.

Here I am posting another #TipOfDay, what the heck—why not, in the face of pervasive societal anxiety and continuing traumas as fascism coalesces daily. Here’s a teeny tiny bright spot I enjoy and have a bit of control over. I finally have my full arsenal of household cleaning brushes. Latest ones include the crevice brush and a new favorite the small slim white brush with stiff bristles that go over the top and continue on a curve back down. This one is perfect for all the percolator filter basket parts. Great to get coffee grounds out of this filter basket with small slits. #Brushes #Cleaning

Almost a dozen cleaning tools laid out on the counter on a black silicone mat with 2 red round silicone trivet mats. The crevice tool brush is at bottom. The favorite slim white brush is 3rd down, under my standby old toothbrushes.

I burned a pot making stew (rescued the stew, all good) and I was NOT looking forward to scrubbing it. But I remembered seeing a thing on the interwebs last year that suggested boiling lots of water with a dishwasher capsule in it to lift the burned bits up.

10/10 all of the burned bits came off really easy after boiling for 10 mins with dishwasher detergent.

PS. it helps to occasionally scrape the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon while the detergent water is boiling.

Eine der Branchen, die wir als Gewerkschaft vertreten, ist die Gebäudereinigung. Häufig kommen die Kolleginnen kaum über die Runden. Gewerkschaftliche Organisierung wird uns erschwert oder unmöglich gemacht, da die Kolleginnen in ständiger Angst leben, ihren Job zu verlieren. Und im Alltag sind sie oft unsichtbar, da sie vor oder nach der Arbeit der anderen kommen. #reinigung #cleaning #gewerkschaft stern.de/gesellschaft/lohn--ei

This is a well designed piece of research. It finds, unsurprisingly, that better cleaning = fewer hospital acquired infections = reduced costs.

How astonishing that such an argument needs to be made!

If we had more #respect for the #work done by #cleaners the connection between how well resourced they are to do their work, & outcomes for patients & costs to the hospital, would be obvious to all of us. Even hospital administrators.

When cleaning is contracted out & budgeted through line items that are separate from those used for clinical services, perverse incentives are created to ‘economise’ on non-clinical functions to improve a notional bottom line. I would guess something like this is at play here.

As is so often the case, the funding model is the problem. #health #hospitals #cleaning

Good morning tooters, welcome to #Friday & a lovely day ahead. It’s around 14c right now & heading to a rather warm & sunny 29c.
Yesterday didn’t go to plan at all, too much faffing around by me meant I didn’t do my balance class, nor did I go swimming 🤷🏼‍♀️. I did make my new little inground composter & set that up & moved the other inground composter I have, to a new spot. So I did actually do something but it was certainly a very slack day for me compared to my usual.
This morning is clean & dust the house & then head for a swim, probably straight after lunch. Young Miss 7 was going to be spending the day with me, but decided she wanted to go to work with her Daddy instead. He’s a concreter, so I think she will get very messy 😂, but she’ll enjoy her one on one time with him.
Hope everyone has a fabulous #Friday, enjoy the day 🌻.

Btw I’m sure some folks are waiting for the exciting conclusion of washing my runner that was dreadfully dirty and clogged with ground-in dog hair. Ta-da, here it is and look it’s not just all dirty gray and beige. A pattern even! If interested the photos and story was in my posts yesterday afternoon. #Cleaning

Part of a long gray and white carpet runner I had to spend hours cleaning. My posts yesterday tell the story of all the dog hair in it and dirts. It’s partly outside here so we could vacuum it after drying overnight. The vac is in foreground.

Here is that same dirty gray and tan carpet runner now soaking in the utility sink outside. This is the second soak. The first soak I used only water. Drained it and now soaking in Super Washing Soda. One more soak with a light detergent coming up next. #Cleaning #TipOfDay

Thus tan and gray carpet runner shown in the sink is on the 2nd soak as described in post. You can see the water is still dirty light brown. There are various bottle and cups on the top ledge of the utility sink outside. The spray faucet is far right.
