HAVING A CLEAN HOME FEELS GOOD:
It doesn’t matter if a home is old or new, large or small, professionally decorated or filled with hand-me-downs, rented or owned, it always feels good to have a clean home to live in. Once a housewife has an established housework routine, it feels good to accomplish the routine knowing that it creates a level of clean that can’t beat; and when a housewife has to take time off from her routine due to illness or another unforeseen interruption, it always feels good to get back into the swing of the routine and make home clean again.
