Home Moving Tips: 5 Stress-Free Experience

1. Tell Friends & Family

Your friends and family will naturally need to know you’re moving and where you’re moving to.

Tell them early so they don’t end up going to the old house when they’re supposed to see you in the new one.

A Clean Home is a Happy Home

When your surroundings at home are clean, you feel happy, motivated, and healthy. However, hearing the word ‘cleaning’ turns away eyes to avoid shouldering the responsibility as some may find it tiresome or boring.

So, fret not as Clorox Philippines, one of the country’s leading providers of cleaning and disinfecting products, provides you a long-term solution to keep your home neat and clean all the time – a cleaning calendar. Why? Because cleaning your household can be fun and meaningful when the cleaning schedule is done right.

To help you decide whether having a cleaning calendar is better or not, here’s why it’s important to adopt in your household and encourage your family members or housemates to start doing their part when it comes to cleaning.

Everyone shares responsibility at home

Whether daily or weekly, having a cleaning schedule helps you and everyone in the household share responsibility in keeping your home clean and tidy. You can help them choose a specific task that they will enjoy doing, like sweeping the floor or making sure that they follow proper waste segregation.

In the long run, you will not nag them anymore to remember since keeping the house well-kept all the time will be second nature to them.

Ensures that all tasks are not falling on one person

From commercials to TV dramas, homemakers tirelessly doing the house chores all by themselves is a familiar scenario. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Planning a cleaning calendar puts everyone at work. Someone must be assigned to wash the dishes after eating, vacuum the floors, wipe down the kitchen counters, disinfect doors and walkways, clean the bathroom, and so much more.
