I had to get more robust about cleaning when I graduated university and rented a 1 bedroom apartment of my own.
- You can’t expect ladies to stick around if you live as a slob and they see it upon visiting you at your 1 bedroom apartment.
Tidying and keeping a living space organized is just half of the war. There are so many other chores and aspects of cabin service that go well beyond that. I never realized how much dust I was neglecting in my one bedroom apartment until I bought an extension wand duster from the dollar store and used it on fan blades, walls, ceilings, behind beds and electronics, and any surfaces that aren’t constantly sanitized and cleaned. I was ashamed on a single hand because of the huge amount of dirt and dust I collected that afternoon, but I was also so proud of myself for taking the initiative to do something that was extremely necessary but I was neglecting. Aside from limiting dust in your lungs and other organs because it’s not capable of flaking off and getting into the ambient air around you at your desk or while you doze off, this level of cleaning also keeps that dust out of your cooling set up filter, thus making it last longer and clog much slower than it would if you weren’t cleaning your home. These are all fantastic reasons to be a tidier person, even if you’re not trying to impress a potential loving partner as I was for so many years. And when you develop healthy and smart and good habits, you can settle into wonderful behaviors for the rest of your natural life.
