Identify ways in maintaining cleanliness and orderliness at home Maintaining Cleanliness and Orderliness at Home  A house, no matter how small and simple, can be attractive and inviting if kept clean and orderly.  The incidence of diseases spreading in the Philippines and the rest of the world like COVID-19, dengue, SARS (Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome) hepatitis, among others can be controlled through cleanliness. The Department of Health (DOH) has issued an all-out campaign on cleanliness to keep everyone healthy. The best place to start this, is in our own home.  Housekeeping must, therefore, be every family member’s task. A good homemaker knows how to distribute tasks to be able to get the work done. First, determine which tasks are done daily, weekly or occasionally. Then, determine the bulk of the tasks each family member has to perform. It would be good to keep a list of activities.  In keeping the house neat and clean, group the work activities according to: 1. Daily tasks - cooking, cleaning the house, setting the table, washing the dishes, cleaning bathrooms and toilets, and watering the plants. 2. Weekly tasks - marketing, ironing, laundering, defrosting the refrigerator, mopping and waxing the floor 3. Occasional tasks - cleaning the windows, walls and floors, changing the curtains, minor repairs  Housekeeping is a never-ending task that has to be done repeatedly. It is not just one task, but several tasks are done regularly. A good plan helps give the house the care and maintenance it needs.  Remember to have a place for everything and see that everything is in its place. Living Room Care  The living room gives an impression of the kind of people who live in it.  It should always be kept clean and attractive.  Newspapers and magazines should be in their proper places.  Decors should be put up and arranged properly.  Cleaning the room should be done daily.

If done weekly, it must be thoroughly cleaned.  Floors should be swept and mopped. Bathroom Care  One who uses the bathroom should leave it as clean as he finds it.  It should be cleaned with disinfectants to destroy germs and bacteria.  The toilet bowl should be scrubbed daily and bathroom floors and walls, washed once a week.  Find a good cleanser or a similar product to remove scars and dirt accumulating on the tiles. Kitchen Care  The kitchen should be the cleanest room of the house for it is the place where food is prepared and served.  Screens best protect the kitchen against flies and other insects. If screens are not used, food must be covered.  Hot water is best used for sanitizing plates, glasses and flatware, and then kept in dish racks or dish dryers.  Stovetops and refrigerators can be cleaned with an abrasive cloth.  Refrigerators must be unplugged while being defrosted.  A little baking soda with the cleaning liquid can keep refrigerator odors away.  Garbage containers should be emptied and disinfected regularly.  Always keep these containers clean and covered to keep flies and other insects away. Work Simplification Techniques Work simplification means looking for the easiest, simplest and fastest way of accomplishing work. It needs the most comfortable position in working and the best effort in doing these to avoid stress or strain. Following are good reminders: 1. Finish doing all tasks of the same type before starting another. Scrub floors before sweeping. Wash all windows before cleaning the walls. 2. Start from the ceiling, down to the lowermost part, the floors. Clean the area upstairs before the area downstairs. This routine prevents doing unnecessary tasks like sweeping the floor repeatedly. 3. Use correct hand and body techniques: Bachelor of Technical - Date Developed: Vocational Teacher Bulacan June 2020 Education Major in Food Polytechnic Page 5 of 6 Date Revised: Service Management College July 2020 Home Economics Literacy Document No. Developed by: Revision # 02 HE 213 40-HE 213 Maria Erica SD.
