Cleaning with Kids

Learning to maintain a house is important for boys and girls. Sure, for big messes and deep cleaning it's probably smarter to call http://www.thesteamteam.com/  or something, but for every day maintenance it's just smarter to crank up the music and embrace the task of cleaning as an act of love. This is so much smarter than making it a chore or punishment because those methods only teach children that cleaning is an undesirable activity. Since we've been cleaning with joy in our hearts, the kids are so much more eager to help tidy up. I can't imagine why we ever thought it was wise to associate cleaning with negativity. 


Sure, there are some tasks that require professional help, like fire and flood damage austin for example. And national air duct cleaning austin is another one, I mean can you imagine asking your 7 yr old to clean the air ducts? I know my daughter would be climbing through them with a wash cloth.  I'm not sure how the professionals do it, but I think it would be smart to seal them all off and then just vacuum through them with a powerful sucking device. I know that if you don't clean them regularly, the dust builds up and can cause a fire. It also reduces the air quality in your home because germs, bacteria and mold spores can live in there.  In our house, it could be woodpeckers or field mice. WHo knows? Either way, I know it's important for home maintenance, that's for sure.
