The many made statements about cleanliness are nonetheless true; in the sense I find it. Cleanliness is a reflection of something beyond our environment and property, but a reflection of one's character and inner personality. As much of what you can tell about a person's cleanliness springs from within the person. The expressions outside are just a reflection.
To be clean is one thing every person should work towards. I've managed to consider and analyse somethings in life, and something I find of no true advantage or goodness on its side is not being clean. Ranging from the unwelcoming nature of it, to the health implications, it's hard to find any good thing—maybe impossible, yes!
It's then needed on our part to be clean from our closest surroundings out to our environment and then the planet at large. And that I believe it's what this community; Clean Planet, stands for. So, it's first something that begins with us from our homes and surroundings to the bigger picture. I always agree that little things are the way to making big things happen.
Today, I try to keep my home and environment clean in several ways could. "Charity" they say "begins at home". In keeping the home clean, I do things like a regular sweeping and other forms of cleaning. Things that are menials and can be done daily or consistently; to things like cleaning up cobwebs which comes up in a while, maybe within the week or more. Little chores such as washing the dishes, washing the toilet, mopping the floors are also things I find doing on a consistent basis to uphold cleanliness in my house.
A place can only be clean as much as it is organised—my consideration. It's something I've come to perceive and agree with. A well cleaned space can look otherwise without proper organisation. To keep the house clean, I learnt to always keep it in a well-organised state. This includes putting the dishes where they should be, folding neatly all clothes, not loitering around or on the bed clothes, keeping dirty clothes and dirt in a right place and so on.
Talking about dirt, putting off and disposing accumulated dirt in the right and proper location is another. This is to enhance the cleanliness of my environment beyond my home. And of course, doing this in the right manner. As much as it's needful to keep the environment clean, putting such dirt in a wrong place can aid in dirtying the environment rather. It's necessary then to find a proper place of disposal where these dirty things are properly gathered and sent.
One other I can't skip is keeping the surrounding environment clean by weeding. The grasses that grow out of place can be a nuisance; and surely, they are, due to their detrimental effect to our safety and health on the long run. Weeding these grasses at certain intervals are some actions I take to keep my environment clean. It's very much necessary if the environmental cleanliness will be maintained.
As simple as this may seem, I learnt to stop loitering carelessly on the ground sachets of things I've opened. This only ends up dirtying the environment I'm supposed to help keep clean. I try to hold on to it till a proper disposal is found and I believe it will help in a long way to keep our immediate environment clean if this is upheld.
