Housekeeping Grandma’s Way

Deep cleaning

Start with one room at a time, working from top to bottom. Dust, wash windows, vacuum or shampoo carpets, clean under furniture, empty cupboards, wipe down appliances, and launder curtains. Repeat this process seasonally.

When I was a child keeping a home followed a schedule and a set plan. Grandma always kept to a schedule. Even with six children, her home was always spotlessly clean. You could set a clock by meal time.

Laundry on Monday, Ironing on Tuesday, etc.Once monthly she would wash, iron and change the kitchen curtains. Seasonally she would do a deep cleaning, also called Spring cleaning. It’s funny when it came time to deep cleaning every season was “Spring”.
