Light Housekeeping in Sunrise
This is not cleaning. Kitchen, bathroom, washing, and the floors crossed every day, held at the level that lets somebody go on living here, and logged, because a house changes before a person will admit to it.
Safety first, tidiness second, evidence after both
A kitchen that has got beyond the person living in it is not a question of appearance. It is food turning, a ring left on, a surface underfoot that slides, and bin bags nobody indoors can still lift outside.
It is also the simplest early warning on offer. Four decades of an immaculate house, followed by a house that is only almost immaculate, says more than any telephone call ever manages.
So the work is done and the condition is logged, week after week. By the fourth entry the direction of travel is usually plain.
Housekeeping happens within the visit rather than as a booking of its own. An aide with an hour in the house gets the kitchen and bathroom done while the kettle is on.
Where a house has fallen a long way behind, that is a one-off job for a cleaning firm, and we will say so rather than charge care rates for it.
What actually gets done
Fitted round the rest of the visit, never sold as a separate clean.
A kitchen you can cook in
Washing-up cleared, worktops free, the hob attended to, and a pass through the fridge for whatever is out of date.
A bathroom that is not slippery
Given a wipe, left dry underfoot, with the mat and the rails checked while the aide is in the room.
Laundry and linen
One load through the machine, dried, folded and put back where it lives, with bed linen changed on a fixed rotation.
The floors people walk on
Hall, kitchen, bathroom. Dry and clear counts for a great deal more than polished.
Paper, post and rubbish
Bins out, letters collected, and the heap on the table sorted into something findable.
The state of it, logged
A house starting to go is the first thing anybody sees, so it is recorded as a warning rather than as a chore.
Jobs this does not cover
- Deep cleans, and the annual sort of clean
- Outdoor surfaces, balconies and window glass
- Shifting white goods or heavy furniture
- Clearing a room that has been filling for decades
- Yards, terraces and anything growing
- Jobs wanting a ladder or protective gear
Frequently the easiest way to begin
Easy to agree to, obviously useful, and it puts a level-headed person inside the house once a week.
