Guys, it is important that we do our fair share around the house. That means understanding how your partner likes things done, and doing them to the best of your ability. We need to help put things away, dust and (here comes the "sucking" part) vacuuming. So really, I do hope you suck...up things out of your carpet.
This simply shouldn't fall 100% on your partner. You live there too. And besides, a vacuum cleaner IS a power tool, so how bad can it be?
Here's a basic overview of what needs to be done at a minimum when you clean.
Start by putting things away. Getting the clutter out of the way makes the rest of the stuff a lot easier. Oh - and "out of the way" means "AWAY", not just moved to another room.
Dust. Get a dust cloth and some Pledge. Spray a little Pledge on the cloth, move stuff off of what you're dusting and wipe it down. Tables, TV stand, TV, lamps, pictures. Anything with a smooth surface should be dusted. If it has a glass surface, use some glass cleaner with a paper towel (or the glass cleaner wipes).
Vacuum. Suck it up. Don't just do the main walking areas - vacuum the room.
The blog is starting to get a little long, so we'll talk about cleaning in the kitchen tomorrow. I'm just keeping it real...we gotta help keep it clean. Your partner will appreciate it. I've heard it said that a man doing housework is a real turn on with the ladies. Try it, you won't be sorry.
Stay in touch -
Mark
