Project 52 - Week 4

Cleaning Persona

I've decided that for better and not for worse I clean like my mother. I think the reason is two fold: 1) She taught me how to clean a house & 2) We have similar personalities particularly as it relates to orderliness.

As I was cleaning today I was pondering if everyone else tends to clean like their mother because that was the way they were taught. Or if some might deviate from that method because it seemed either too rigorous and structured or too lenient (depending on the Mother & Daughter's personality).

If I was able to do everything exactly as I liked and I had the time to do it:

• Mondays would be the day I clean the living room
• Tuesdays would be for Bathrooms
• Wednesdays would be Bedrooms
• Fridays would be the kitchen.

All because that is how we cleaned the house when I was younger each week. I also generally follow the order in which my mom cleaned things - such as you always dust before you vacuum (although others would say the opposite as the vacuum stirs up dust). I always clean the tub first, then the toilet, then the mirror & sink. And so forth...

So this week I want some interaction. Tell me how the way you clean relates to how you learned. Are you like me and pretty much model what you were taught or did you go off the "straight & narrow" and make up your own routine?

Phew - made this post on time this week.
