household chores

  Make a list and stick to it. Writing down everything that needs to be cleaned in your apartment will ensure that you never forget to throw away that smelly garbage. Here are the basic household chores you should aim to tackle around your home:

Sweeping and washing hard floors

mow the lawn

Vacuuming

Washing dishes

Throwing away all garbage and recycling

Cleaning the bathroom (toilet, sink, floor and shower/bathtub)

Dusting the entire apartment or house

Cleaning the refrigerator and cabinets

Doing laundry

Grocery shopping

Beyond these basic chores, you should also remember to tackle ones that may not come to mind right away, such as:

Washing your shower curtain and liner

Washing and changing your bed sheets

Cleaning ceiling lights and fans

Disinfecting doorknobs

Vacuuming your couch

Washing windows

Changing light bulbs and batteries in smoke detectors

These and other chores around your house may need to be done more or less often than the basics, so just be sure to add them to your overall to-do list.

Schedule

Before you start thinking that you need to do all nine of the chores listed above every single week, consider a few things. How often are you in your apartment? If you spend the majority of your time sleeping at your partner’s place, your apartment might have a lot less grime lying around than you think. Also, just do what you can with your own personal schedule. Between work, spin class and networking events, there might not always be a ton of time to toss a load of laundry in or sweep and wash every floor.

A basic schedule to keep in mind for cleaning is what should be done weekly, what can wait every two weeks and then what can be done monthly.

Weekly chores should include:

Washing dishes

Throwing away garbage and recycling

Cleaning the bathroom

Vacuuming

These chores should be done at least once a week to ensure that the areas you touch most frequently are clean. Washing dishes and throwing out the garbage and recycling should be completed as needed, if not daily. Vacuuming and cleaning your bathroom could take no more than one hour per week if you get into a nice routine. Doing these four chores per week will make you feel confident in your space.

Chores that can wait to be done every two weeks include:

Sweeping and washing hard floors

Doing laundry

Grocery shopping

Sweeping and washing hard floors can wait to be done every two weeks with a simple trick: vacuum them every week instead. Then, depending on how big your wardrobe is and how often you eat at home, laundry and grocery shopping may be best suited for twice per month instead of every week.

Pro Tip: Keep several sets of bed sheets on hand so you can change them every week without needing to wash them more frequently than your clothes.

Every month, at the least, try to accomplish:

Dusting the entire apartment or house

Cleaning the refrigerator and cabinets

Dusting can take some time, so add it to your calendar and get it done once a month. If you have bad allergies, you may want to dust more often than that, though, like every two weeks. Cleaning out your refrigerator and cabinets is important because different foods have different expiration dates. Just be sure to know what’s in there and when it needs to be tossed. It’s also important to deep clean your refrigerator with soap and water every three to four months.

Cleaning Supplies

Before you can even start cleaning your apartment, you need to have the right tools. A few standard cleaning supplies you should keep in your closet include:

Vacuum

Broom and dustpan

Mop and bucket, or Swiffer and wet pads

Paper towels

Anti-bacterial, multi-service cleaning spray

Furniture polish

A toilet brush or wand

Toilet cleaning solution

Shower cleaning solution

Multiple sponges

Garbage bags

Dish detergent

Laundry detergent

Dryer sheets

Rubber gloves

A few of these supplies are one-time buys, like a vacuum or rubber gloves, while others you’ll need to replace every few months. Be sure to replace your sponges frequently, and disinfect your cleaning tools before using them again.

Pro Tip: Save money by making your own cleaning supplies. And be wary of certain laundry detergent ingredients that could be harmful.

How To Do Laundry

Cleaning the bathroom, vacuuming, washing dishes — these household chores are pretty much foolproof. However, laundry can get a little tricky. Before you shrink your favorite dress or turn that white t-shirt purple, listen up.

Before doing laundry, separate everything in your hamper. Always wash towels, bed sheets and clothes separately. Next, separate your clothes into whites, lights and darks. You should also separate items by delicates, jeans and hand washables.

Next, wash everything on the cold water setting. This will not only help save the planet and you some money, but your clothes will also last longer. Then, be sure to change the setting on the machine to match the clothes you’re washing — delicates, permanent press (jeans, towels and linens), whites, colors, etc. Lastly, follow the directions for adding detergent to your washing machine. Some machines have a separate spot for the detergent, while others may have you just pour one cap full into the machine before you add your clothes to the water.

Once your clothes have been washed, they’re ready for the dryer (or just a towel rack in your home). Not all clothes should go into the dryer. Read the tags on your clothes before putting them in there. If your machine allows it, we suggest using warmer settings for clothing and hotter setting for towels, linens and jeans. Don’t forget to add a dryer sheet to the load to prevent static and soften fabrics, too.

Pro Tip: Depending on the cycle time, toss a load of laundry into the washing machine while you tackle a different chore on your list. Multi-tasking is highly recommended when it comes to cleaning your apartment.

or example, you may begin by listing daily chores like:

Sweeping

Vacuuming

Washing dishes

Feeding pets

Doing laundry

Preparing meals

Cleaning bathrooms

Dusting

Weekly

Next, you'll list weekly chores such as:

Washing bedding

Mopping floors

Watering plants

Mowing the lawn

Weeding the garden

Taking out the trash

Wash the car

Monthly

Monthly chores should be listed next:

Washing windows

Bathing pets

Clean refrigerator

Change air filters on a furnace or air conditioner

Clean blinds

Vacuum curtains

Yearly

Even yearly chores can be included such as:

Shampooing the carpets

Winterize the house

Clean garage

Prune trees and shrubs

By this point you have a pretty substantial list of tasks that need to be done on a regular basis to keep everything running smoothly. You can probably think of many more items to add from the list. You probably also see some that do not apply to you. That's okay. Simply create a master list that reflects what needs to be done in your family.

"Ozymandias" é um conhecido soneto de Percy Bysshe Shelley, poem

 "Ozymandias"  soneto de Percy Bysshe Shelley,

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said:—Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,

Half sunk, a shatter'd visage lies, whose frown

And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamp'd on these lifeless things,

The hand that mock'd them and the heart that fed.

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains: round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare,

The lone and level sands stretch far away.

"Ozymandias" é um conhecido soneto de Percy Bysshe Shelley,

I was refused a USA visa

 

Kathryn Berck

Former Foreign Service Officer at U.S. Department of State (1985–2011)Updated May 15

I was refused a USA visa on a counter interview. When I was asked “do you know anyone in the USA”, I replied honestly “no”. The same time she returned back my passport. What should I answer?

You weren’t refused the visa due to your answer to one single question. Your whole situation did not give the consular officer confidence that you intended just to visit and then come home again promptly.

What should you answer? The answer you gave, if it was true, was also the correct one. The more answers you might try to invent, the more dishonest you might sound and the less likely that anyone will trust you with a US visa.
