I always look for ways to get the cleaning done on autopilot. Today, I’m glad to tell you that after years of trial and error, I finally discovered some effective techniques.
In all sincerity, I’m inclined to clean a little bit every day rather than deep cleaning once in a blue moon.
I’m always hunting for tips and tricks to help me keep my house clean without even knowing.
When I first tried this cleaning method, my house-cleaning was done on Autopilot.
I ensured that I stick to this cleaning method. And as the months went my house looked and felt clean without much effort and thought.
Also, the need for deep cleaning has been banished.
Firstly, what does getting cleaning done on autopilot mean?
You accomplish things on autopilot when you do them without even thinking.
Automaticity occurs when a certain action is overpracticed or overfamiliarized.
There are so many things we do on Autopilot every single day. Example: taking a shower, making coffee, checking your phone notifications, etc
We don’t need to plan or think before doing the foregoing things, right?
That is because you are experienced in doing these things. Since you’re at ease in doing them, you don’t have to think about them, and they get done on autopilot.
Similarly, to get cleaning done on autopilot, you need to be seasoned in it. This is possible when you grow used to or get into the habit of cleaning.
The easiest way to practice cleaning is by following good systems or routines.
DAILY CLEANING CHECKLIST
Our home appears fresh and beautiful, besides safe when it is clean.
Daily cleaning prevents the chance of disease and brings a bright outlook to our lives.
