On window Sill example you would have Window Sill Clear
Window Sill uncluttered.
But you are correct I do not go dusting.
Hi Ian
The day i see an unlcuttered window sill is the day i change all my opinions on children and decide to have some of my own
. In otherwords, never!
See, thing is, i am from the Anthea Turner school of thought, i make my life so easy by only buying the things that wont attract dirt, by keeping rooms decluttered, by having a wipe-as-you-go policy which means that -come sunday afternoon- all i have to do is a quick 'do' of the bathroom and change the beds.
But for the other 6 days of the week i'm out in the real world where i help the folks who just haven't the time or understanding to help themselves re:housework. I no longer question 'why' people do what they do, put things where they do, keep the things they do. I just accept it. No two houses are the same, no two people want the same cleaning.
Only if all surfaces were clear, all gangways empty, all floors free of clutter, could we even begin to start working out exact times for tasks.
Even dusting is a minefield in itself, what with evaluating if you need to dust dry, damp-dust, suction-dust, dust with a cloth, dust with a brush, etc etc etc. I only wish i could transfer to words how it is i 'know' how long a task will take me, but i just can't. Its like was said already, its experience and instinct that tells you.
Cheers
Stephen
