HOW MUCH HOUSE WORK CAN I DO IN 2 HOURS

This week is a week to help out a friend.

This is a 2 bedroom apartment, very tidy person, so nothing on floors.

The Lady likes to leave a list of what are the most important things that she would like to be done on the day.

So today, the kitchen, bathroom and some ironing

STEP 1

• Go around and empty all the rubbish bins and check if anything needs special attention.

STEP 2

KITCHEN

• There are a few pots in the sink

• Clean cooker

• Give a quick wipe to the toaster ( remember to check the crumbs tray) and the kettle ( mainly to remove fingerprints and watermarks).

• Wipe all the kitchen surfaces, remembering to remove the stainless still rods that are used to rest hot pans.

• Wipe all watermarks from the backsplash around the worktop and cooker.

• Give a quick wipe to all the cupboards doors and handles ( they are not dirty just have a few water marks and fingerprints)

• Kitchen table

• Wipe fingerprints from the glass door (not the ones that go outside, just the one in the kitchen)

• Clean sink and tap

• Sweep the floor

NOTE I like to pour a bit of bleach in the drains after cleaning the kitchen, not only keeps a clean drain it also removes tea stains from it ( do not leave it for too long)

STEP 2

BATHROOM

She does not have too many things on surface’s top.

• Clean basin and taps

• Clean shower

• Clean toilet

• Wipe the dust off the bathtub (no one used it, so it is clean but has a bit of dust )

• Dust off the worktops and remove watermarks around the basin

• Sweep floor

STEP 3

IRONING ( let’s see what we have )

2 fitted sheets

2 double duvet cover

7 pillowcases

1 t-shirt

2 Napkins

ALL DONE

Because I still have a few minutes left, I went into her bedroom, puff up the pillows and straitened up her duvet and made the bed.

Give a quick sweep to the floor with a duster Sweeper

All rubbish out: normal rubbish, recycling and food recycling waste.

All done in 2 hours

VERY IMPORTANT: This Lady is super clean and does not have too many things on top of surfaces, does not cook that much, so a cooker is pretty easy to clean and she puts all her dishes in the dishwasher. This is the reason I can do so much in two hours.
