Cleaning, she believes, has gotten a bad name. I think it feels like drudgery to people who are made to do it, or remember the status given to it in an older day. I simply, profoundly disagree with that. In her home, Mendelson says her husband is much neater and a better organizer, so he takes the lead in those areas. She, on the other hand, likes ironing, vacuuming, and scrubbing.
Clean floors are a priority.
It comes in cycles. It's when you don't have a cycle or schedule that it's always shouting at you that it needs to be done. That means you have no sense of repose, no peace of mind. That's where some of those bad attitudes come from. Children, Mendelson believes, can be brought into the housekeeping circle.
