Easy Cleaning For Seniors

• Just because youve reached your senior years,
  doesnt automatically mean that life gets easier
  and a cleaning doesnt have to be done if only
  that were true! However, you should be able to
  enjoy your life as you approach retirement and
  cleaning should be made as easy as possible. Here
  are a few cleaning tips to make life easier if
  youre a senior
• Dont be afraid to ask for help
• Cleaning your entire home can be overwhelming,
  and there are usually people in our lives that we
  can reach out to for help, we just dont like to.
  However, while we may not enjoy asking for help,
  our friends and family members are usually only
  too happy to assist and are grateful that we have
  trusted them enough to ask.

• Have a cleaning checklist
• A list of what needs to be cleaned, along with
  how often, can not only help you to focus your
  cleaning efforts but can be helpful to those whom
  you have asked to help. They can simply walk in
  through your door, look at the list and get to
  work! As a senior citizen, it may also be that
  you have some memory problems, and for that
  reason alone, a cleaning list can be extremely
  useful.
• De-clutter as much as possible
• Hoarding items, no matter how much sentimental
  significance they have, can simply mean more
  items to dust and can lead to your home looking
  unnecessarily untidy.

• Try to be ruthless when it comes to items that
  you have no use for, and which are taking up a
  lot space, and get your friends and family
  involved if youre not able to move the items
  yourself, or if you want help deciding what to
  keep and what to get rid of. Have a garage sale
  and lend the proceeds to your retirement fund or
  donate unwanted items to local charities.
• After de-cluttering, try to keep it that way!
• Once youve gotten rid of all unwanted items, it
  will not only be much easier to see what youve
  got left, but it will be easier to keep clean,
  too. Try to not replace items with other clutter,
  keep your home as object free as possible.

• That isnt to say that you cant have ornaments
  and objet dart, of course, but try to have only
  those items that you really enjoy looking at, on
  display. If you have a lot of ornaments and
  trinkets, consider displaying them in an
  attractive cabinet to reduce your cleaning even
  more.
• Consider getting professional help if the latter
  years of your life are being hindered by
  cleaning, then you should seriously consider
  employing someone to help you keep a clean home,
  while you enjoy your retirement. They need not
  cost the Earth and can greatly improve your
  quality of life.
