Ambience

Ambience is used to describe the activity as a whole. Cleaning is an activity that is carried out in everyday life. Some people identify cleaning as being a part of their roles for example mothers or wives feel it is their role to keep the home clean and warm for her family or so that it is welcoming to their guests. If you walk into a house that smells and you cannot see the floors and there is rubbish everywhere you are not going to feel very comfortable staying in that house for a long period of time, however if you walk into a house that is regularly cleaned with no rubbish anywhere but the rubbish bin, clean floors and dirty dishes in the kitchen ready to be washed then you won’t mind having to stay in that house for a long period of time.

I have cleaned for all of my life. My mum likes to have a clean house and my dad vacuums the house almost every day because he doesn’t like having dog hair everywhere. I believe the way I was brought up has influenced my cleaning habits. I believe that my spirituality and beliefs also affects my cleaning habits. I have been brought up in a house where the mother creates a warm clean home for her family and that is what I like to do. I like to share my cleaning with my flatmates and will clean the common areas of the flat so that they are comfortable hanging out in the flat without feeling like they are surrounded by rubbish.
