Monday Maintenance: The Golden Rule of Cleaning
I know that today’s maintenance tip will seem ridiculously simple to some. It’s so simple, in fact, that each time I’ve thought about posting it I’ve managed to talk myself out of it.
But today it occurred to me – to some people the concept of spending less than you earn is so patently obvious they’d never think to include it in the list of financial must-dos. Still, there it is — on lists everywhere as the Golden Rule of financial solvency: Spend Less Than You Earn.
So, without further ado, here’s the Golden Rule of Cleaning: If you clean it while it’s clean, it will never get dirty.
I sure wish I’d grown up with that philosophy of cleaning and maintenance. It would have saved me a lot of hassles and frustration over the years. I know now that cleaning a clean toilet is just so much easier than cleaning a dirty one. Amen to that!
