Types of Home Cleaning

Back to: Pre Vocational Studies Primary 6

Welcome to class!

Hello my sparkling student! I’m so happy to have you back for another practical lesson. Today, we’re going to talk about “types of home cleaning.” This means the different ways we clean our homes, from quick daily tasks to more thorough cleaning we do less often. It’s like having different ways to tidy your toys – a quick tidy-up before bedtime and a big clean-up every weekend! Let’s begin!

Types of Home Cleaning

Keeping our homes clean is important for our health and well-being. There are different types of cleaning we do to keep our homes in good condition.

Here are some common types of home cleaning:

1. Daily Cleaning:

• These are quick and easy cleaning tasks that we do every day to maintain basic cleanliness.
• Examples:
  • Making your bed.
  • Sweeping or quickly mopping the kitchen floor after meals.
  • Wiping down kitchen counters and sinks.
  • Taking out the trash.
  • Washing dishes after meals.
  • Tidying up clutter.

2. Weekly Cleaning:

• These are more thorough cleaning tasks that we do once a week to keep our homes clean and organized.
• Examples:
  • Vacuuming or mopping all floors.
  • Dusting all surfaces, including furniture, shelves, and picture frames.
  • Cleaning the bathroom, including the toilet, sink, and shower/tub.
  • Changing bed linens.

3. Monthly Cleaning:

• These are deeper cleaning tasks that we do once a month to tackle areas that don’t need to be cleaned as often.
• Examples:
  • Cleaning the refrigerator.
  • Cleaning the oven.
  • Washing curtains or blinds.
  • Cleaning light fixtures.

4. Seasonal Cleaning (or Deep Cleaning):

• This is a very thorough cleaning that we do a few times a year, often during spring or fall.
• It involves cleaning every part of the house, including areas that are not usually cleaned during weekly or monthly cleaning.
• Examples:
  • Cleaning out closets and drawers.
  • Washing windows inside and out.
  • Cleaning carpets and upholstery.
  • Washing walls and baseboards.

5. Spot Cleaning:

• This involves cleaning up spills or messes as they happen.
• Examples:
  • Wiping up a spill on the floor.
  • Cleaning a stain on the carpet.
  • Wiping down a dirty surface.

Let’s use some examples. You might make your bed and wash the dishes every day (daily cleaning). You might vacuum the floors and clean the bathroom every weekend (weekly cleaning). You might clean out your closet every few months (seasonal cleaning). If you spill juice on the floor, you would clean it up right away (spot cleaning).

So, to summarize, there are different types of home cleaning, from quick daily tasks to more thorough seasonal cleaning. Each type of cleaning plays an important role in keeping our homes clean, healthy, and comfortable.
