Service Master has developed a little piece entitled “Miscellaneous Cleaning Tips."

"Make a Schedule"

We especially enjoyed their tip to “Make a Schedule” .  To set aside a short period of time each week for the family to straighten up the house.  It teaches good habits to the kids and gives the family a project to do together.  I can attest to this!  As a little girl of 7, my mother would have me dust our Windsor chairs every week.  Today, 5 decades later, I am still dusting the same chairs that are now in my own home, and on a regular basis.  Each week, I smile to think of how long I’ve been dusting them and have loving memories of my mom.
