A Cleaning Story

The last time I cleaned was before my parents came to visit. Our flat lounge doesn’t stay clean for very long and once it’s dirty it stays that way until someone can be bothered to clean it. My parents were coming down for the weekend so I had a panic and thought I had to clean it or my mum wouldn’t have been impressed at all. I had some spear time so I thought it would be a good idea to clean it otherwise it wouldn’t be done by the time my parents were here. I was bored and sitting in front of the tv was going to feel like a waste of time.

None of the other flatmates were at home so it was a good chance for me to get it done without being interrupted or having them follow behind me messing it up again. We all eat our meals in the lounge as we don’t have a table so there is a lot of dishes that get left there and forgotten about so first I had to get all the dirty dishes from the lounge and take them through to the kitchen to clean them. I then had to take a rubbish bag in to pick up all the rubbish, there was so much that I had to drag the bag around with me. I had to drag around another bag for all the recycling. This took a while picking up all the rubbish as I thought that I should do under the couches to. After all the rubbish was gone I had to sort out peoples belongings that were left in the lounge and throw them in their rooms.

Once the floor was clear it was safe for me to vacuum the floor. This was the end of cleaning the lounge. I thought I may as well continue vacuuming as I had nothing else to do and no one had come home yet so I vacuumed in the kitchen, the hall ways, the girl’s bathroom and my bedroom.

Going and sitting in the lounge after its big clean was a good feeling as I didn’t have to walk around the rubbish and dishes and didn’t feel foreign object under my feet. When the other flat mates came home they were surprised by the cleanness as they hadn’t seen it clean for ages so it was it was a good feeling that they noticed what I’d done.
