Tips For Keeping Cleanliness

To keep the house clean and yourself, in Islam is called as half of Islam (Nisf Imman).

• Clean A Little Every Day
  • Staying neat and organized is an ongoing process. Spend a few minutes every day tidying up the “hot spots” in your home where messes happen often. Wipe up spots around the kitchen sink.
  • Pick up clothes off the bedroom floor and toss them into the hampers or back in the closet.
  • Put away mail, backpacks, and shoes that collect in the front hallway.
  • Separate stacks of papers into smaller “to-do” and “to file away” piles.
• Regularly clean and wipe down.
  • Make a schedule for bigger tasks. They’re easier to tackle if you do them regularly.
  • Vacuum rugs and under sofa cushions and the kitchen table.
  • Rinse off items that get covered in sticky fingerprints, like booster seats and toys.
  • Throw out any old foods before they turn your fridge into a giant science project.

• Find Little Helpers like kids at home
  • Get your children in the habit of being Mom’s — and Dad’s — little helpers early on.
  • At age 3 or 4, they can start matching socks on laundry day or putting toys away.
  • By age 6, kids should be ready for bigger chores — like setting the table or folding laundry.
