While house cleaning might never have been a favourite chore, as people age many tasks which keep homes spruce can not only be tiresome but difficult to manage.
To make life easier check out the following:
- Clean by choosing one small area at a time, e.g., the doorknobs or one shelf. If more energetic, choose one room at a time or just one bigger task e.g. kitchen drawers.
- Sit on a chair or stool to fold laundry or do cleaning – not lazy, just smart.
- Install grab rails in your bathroom/shower area.
- If you find your large-sized bath towels too heavy to manage after your shower, use a couple of separate hand towels; it’s much easier to manage as well as to wash and dry them.
- Tidy up at night before going to bed, and prepare for the following morning.
- Don’t hesitate to ask friends or family for help with jobs you cannot handle.
