Aversions for Cleaning

Why do some people develop psychological aversions towards cleaning?

They need an attitude adjustment.

They

• Haven’t been taught pride in cleaning things the right way
• Haven’t been shown that they are responsible for their personal space’s appearance
• Haven’t been taught the right way to clean
• Haven’t been trained how to clean efficiently
• Don’t like the labor involved in cleaning
• Don’t have the proper tools
• Are allergic to the chemicals involved
• Have had a bad experience cleaning something
• Were trained to clean by someone that did not make it a positive experience

When you teach someone the efficient way to clean effectively and praise them for a job well done, they might not like doing the task; however, pride in themselves for completing the cleaning job well is priceless.

Always positively teach someone. Do not berate, holler, or shame the person you are preparing for the way that they complete the job. Give positive reinforcement when teaching someone to clean.

Many adults do not know the correct cleaning methods for specific tasks. They did not learn how to clean in the past, or they had an ineffective or detrimental teacher.

If you need to look up how to clean something correctly, YouTube has some fantastic videos.

As for me, I now dance with my mop. Beats having my back hurt from using a bad technique.
