Understanding the Layers of a Clean House

Cleaning a house is often misunderstood as simply moving from chaos to perfection, but there is a critical need to recognize the various layers involved in maintaining cleanliness. The first layer involves daily tasks such as washing dishes and tidying up, which, if neglected, can accumulate and create a much larger burden. A key insight is that many people, including the host, only clean when their house is overwhelmed, leading to the exhaustion of spending hours on what could have been a swift task if tackled daily. By incorporating small, manageable habits into a routine, such as a quick five-minute pickup, individuals can prevent their homes from descending into chaos.
