Cleaning

In our family, we adhere to one important rule – we do a general cleaning of the apartment together every week. Each of us has our own responsibilities. I do the dust removal, mom cleans the floors, and Dad vacuums the carpets and linoleum.

Before starting to remove dust from the shelves, I first put my room in order: I clean the table, throw out the trash and put dirty clothes in a special basket in the bathroom. Then I take a wet and dry cloth and start cleaning.

When everything is ready, I help my parents remove the chairs and wires from the floor so that we can move the carpet in the big room and do a full wet cleaning. After that, Mom starts mopping the floor, and Dad goes to the grocery store.

When we return, it's nice to enter a clean apartment where the floors are sparkling clean. However, there are still some tasks left – you need to clean the plumbing and wash your clothes.
Usually mom and dad do this, and I help them hang wet clothes on the balcony. Then I water the flowers and clean the litter of our dog from the wool.

When the cleaning is finished, we will have a well-deserved rest. Together with my parents, we enjoy evening tea in the kitchen. Dad lies down on the sofa to read a book, and Mom goes back to her room to do her sewing. Before dinner, I go to visit my friend Alice, who, like us, is always especially clean.
