CLEANING IS CIVILIZED:
To be civilized is to reach an advanced stage of development, which means rising above living in filth.
While the outside environment may be beyond one’s control, the home is within one’s control especially the control of a housewife who makes it her mission to clean her home every day.
When a home is clean, the people who live in it can focus on raising themselves to new heights at work, school, or any other endeavor; they don’t have to worry about returning to a home that is uncared for, which means they are uncared for as well.
Cleaning home every day raises the standard of living in a home and raises the people in the home, too.
How do you know if the dishes in the dishwasher are clean or dirty? Read the magnet! Flip the flamingo magnet to 'clean' or 'dirty' to indicate the state of the dishes. When the magnet is set to 'clean' then it's time to put the dishes away and make room for more dirty dishes -- and don't forget to flip the magnet to 'dirty' to avoid putting away dirty dishes before washing! Magnet can be customized for a personal touch.
