Sorting Out the Odd Things!
Well, it is an open secret.
Your apartment is dirty. But you never feel like cleaning it. The soiled
clothes are piled up on the bed. Magazines are thrown all over the
living room. You have a bath tub but you use it hardly. When you use the
bathroom you don’t even look at the toilet bowl. After all, the sight of
the stained toilet bowl is a nightmare to you. The kitchen too has its
name on the list.
Well, you know everything.
Your mom screams at you every morning over the phone for wearing the
same underwear for seven days. But what can you do? You do not have
time. You work the whole day at office and then party till late night.
Amidst all this, you naturally don’t see the pile of dust on the sofa.
Stop behaving like a kid
who runs around the house because he doesn’t want to drink the glass of
milk. You are a matured man. I referred to the reader as a “man” because
women are more sensible and bother about cleaning a lot more than men
do. You will have to clean it one day or the other. How many times can
you put off the cleaning schedule? How long can you wait? At one point
of time you won’t even feel like coming back to the apartment. Start
cleaning before that happens.
First select a date. It may
be a holiday. Don’t delay the cleaning schedule even if you have a party
with your friends. You can even go for a regular cleaning regime where
you will have to work for fifteen minutes everyday. Select a target
area. You cannot clean the house in fifteen minutes. Clean your bedroom,
kitchen, and bathroom one by one. Cleaning a bathroom takes a lot of
time. It is best if you hire someone or clean it in the weekend.
Make a list of things that
you need to buy. Write down the most trifle things that you require on a
piece of paper. You have wooden furniture, glass panes and electric
appliances in your house. Life is simple but not very simple. You cannot
clean everything with anything. It will either permanently destroy the
appliance or will leave some indelible marks on it. The glass panes can
only be cleaned with a glass cleaner. The wooden floors can be redeemed
only with a proper wood polish. Don’t get excited and waste your money
by buying unnecessary things.
How about a business?
So do you clean the house
regularly? You know what detergent powder has to be used on the floor
and what detergent solution can be used on the sink. You have become an
expert in cleaning stains and blots. Initially a small blemish would
scare you but now a completely tarnished surface doesn’t bother you. You
know what to use and how to use. Start a new business. Start an
apartment cleaning business. Distribute leaflets in various existing
apartments. Tell them about your new company and why should they choose
you. Offer free trial services to them. Try to win more customers and
not profits in the first few months. This will establish your business.
Cleaning an apartment is a
good business only if you know the pros and cons of it.
Everyone dislikes cleaning.
Your hands suffer. Your body suffers. Your mind suffers too. You feel as
if you have been imprisoned somewhere. But if you infuse it in your
daily schedule then cleaning the house will not seem to be a huge task.
Your house will always look as new. Your love for the house will also
increase. A warm and comfortable house becomes more inviting when it’s
clean. |
