Spring Cleaning

January 29th, 2011 | Author: Denesa

Each year before the Lunar New Year, like many other Chinese, we will start the spring cleaning of our house.

Since our domestic helper left, it has been difficult for us to spring clean the house regularly.

For those who have no domestic helper, who have no time or who find it physically strenous to spring clean the house…

Fret no more!

Like us, this year, we turn to the cleaning company for help to do our spring cleaning.

Within 9 hours and with 4 cleaners, they pack our kitchen cabinets, vacuum the house (including hidden corners upon our request), clean the floor (include removal of marks), clean our 3 toilets and all our 5 fans, dust the wall, scrub our balcony floor and wash our balcony wall, clean all shelves, wipe all 7 “window grilles and glass” (till they shine) and outdoor grilles, wipe our doors and gates, clean unreachable corners with tall ladders, and carry all our junks and unwanted furnitures away for disposal.

Phew! For Papa Ed and myself, who have been busy days and nights, we cannot imagine how it would be like if we have not engaged a spring cleaning service.

[An advice though is to at least monitor the cleaning to avoid surprises of some uncleaned areas after payment.]

Actually, we put in effort during the spring cleaning too. Half the time, I was actively with the cleaner packing those stuff in the kitchen cabinets, laying the cabinets with paper, exploring junks in the inner world of the storage areas. Haha! I never skive :)

Oh! Mine! We never know how much junks we have accumulated until we started digging into the cabinets and storage area. I guess this is the result when I have relied on a domestic helper for too long and did not spend time auditing the stuff at home.

Fortunately, we manage to donate much of our unwanted but usable items away :)
