If you didn’t know already, there is only one right way to sweep. The broom should be held with one hand on top and the other in the middle, like a canoe paddle. Begin each sweeping stroke from the outside and work towards the middle so that you don’t miss any spot. Making it easier to pick up the dust and dirt from a center point.
As a general rule of thumb, a broom with fine split end bristles should be used for indoor surfaces. And for outdoor, thick and stiff bristles without split ends works well.
Brooms should be stored hanging about the handle cap, or if your broom doesn’t have a hang hole, then keep it handle down in order to protect the bristles from bending.

Now that you have decided to clean your house, it’s important that you get all of the essential equipment right and have a bucket or anything similar to enable you to carry it from one room to another.

Ideally a separate cleaning kit needs to be maintained for washrooms given its going to be the most germ-infested area of your house. Having another color would go a long way in helping to categorize.
Make it a habit to dust first before sweeping or vacuuming so that any dust or dirt that falls to the ground get picked up.

Mopping, unlike sweeping has to follow an 8 figure motion, tackling a small section at a time and flipping it over halfway through before wringing it in the bucket.
Do not rush the cleaning chores by deciding to overload yourself with the entire house on a day, plan and decide which areas you want to clean first by prioritizing. And complete a section each day so that it doesn’t become overwhelming.
Importance of Delegating! Cleaning is not just any one individual responsibility within a household, but rather everyone’s. Based on their age and/or maturity, task should be assigned accordingly. Ensure everyone is aware of their own responsibilities and appreciate the time and effort required for cleaning – could lead to a possibly more responsible future behavior (especially true for teenagers!).
Even if you may not enjoy cleaning, best try to make it more enjoyable by putting on some rousing music or maybe even invite a willing mate to tag along to help while having a good gossip! (You can return the favor on another day). And make sure to reward yourself once completed!
