Study Notes

Maintaining Cleanliness and Orderliness at Home

A clean and orderly house is more inviting and can help prevent the spread of diseases.
Everyone in the family should help with household tasks, as it is a shared responsibility.
Create a list of daily, weekly, and occasional tasks to help organize chores.
Daily tasks: include cooking, cleaning the house, setting the table, washing dishes, cleaning bathrooms, and watering plants.
Weekly tasks: include marketing, ironing, laundering, defrosting the refrigerator, and mopping and waxing the floor.
Occasional tasks: include cleaning windows, walls, and floors, changing curtains, and minor repairs.
To maintain a clean house, have a designated place for everything and always put things back in their place after use.

Living Room Care

The living room should be kept clean and attractive as it reflects the residents' personalities and style.
Keep newspapers and magazines in their designated areas.
Arrange decors properly and ensure the room is cleaned daily.

Bedroom Care

The bedroom should be a personal space for sleeping, resting, and getting dressed.
After using items, return them to their designated places.
Place used clothes in a laundry basket or bring them to the laundry area.
Clean the bedroom daily or weekly, with thorough cleaning weekly.
Sweep and mop the bedroom floor regularly.

Bathroom Care

Users should always leave the bathroom as clean as they found it.
Disinfect the bathroom to kill germs and bacteria.
Scrub the toilet bowl daily and wash bathroom floors and walls once a week.
Use a suitable cleaner for removing stains and dirt from the tiles.

Kitchen Care

The kitchen, being the food preparation area, should be the cleanest room in the house.
Screens are recommended for protection against flies and insects. If not available, cover all food.
Use hot water to sanitize dishes, glasses, and flatware and then keep them in dish racks or dish dryers.
Clean stovetops and refrigerators with an abrasive cloth.
Unplug the refrigerator while defrosting it.
Baking soda mixed with cleaning liquid can help neutralize refrigerator odors.
Empty and disinfect garbage containers regularly. Keep them clean and covered to prevent flies and insects.

Work Simplification Techniques

Work simplification involves finding the easiest, simplest, and fastest way to accomplish tasks.
It emphasizes comfortable working positions and efficient effort to avoid stress or strain.
Tips for efficient work:
- Finish all tasks of the same type before moving to another (e.g., scrub floors before sweeping, wash all windows before cleaning walls).
- Start cleaning from the ceiling and work your way down to the floor. Clean upstairs before downstairs to avoid unnecessary repetition.
- Correct hand and body techniques:
  - Push instead of pull whenever possible.
  - Bend from the knees, not the waist, when lifting heavy objects.
  - Use the whole body weight, not just the arms, when pushing heavy objects.
  - Keep tools and cleaning equipment within reach to avoid strain.
  - Sit while working whenever possible, for example, when preparing vegetables or washing clothes.
  - Combine tasks by doing two at the same time, such as setting the table while cooking.
