• Cement / concrete floors — found in many houses and around the courtyard. Easy to sweep and mop. 🧹
• Tiles (ceramic) — common in kitchens and living rooms. Smooth and simple to wipe. 🧽
• Wooden floors and doors — need gentle cleaning so they don’t get damaged. 🪵
• Mud / clay (earthen) floors — found in some rural homes. Sweep often and keep dry to avoid dust and dampness. 🚶‍♂️
• Kitchen counters and stainless steel sinks — where food is prepared; must be cleaned well. 🍽️
• Bathroom surfaces (tiles, plastic, metal taps) — can get wet and slippery; clean often to stop germs. 🚿
• Furniture surfaces (tables, chairs) — wipe after use, especially after meals or craft work. 🪑
• Glass (windows, mirrors) — use a soft cloth and glass cleaner (adult help). 🔍
• Plastic toys and small items — clean frequently, especially for young children. 🧸

1. Remove loose dirt: sweep or dust first. 🧹
2. Wash: use warm water and soap (or washing liquid) on a cloth or mop. Rinse and wring the cloth so surfaces don’t stay too wet. 🧼
3. Disinfect when needed: adults can use a diluted bleach solution or disinfectant on places like kitchen counters and doorknobs. Always ask an adult to make and use these solutions. 🧴
4. Dry: keep surfaces dry to stop mould and germs from growing. Use a clean towel or let air dry. ☀️
5. Clean high-touch spots often: light switches, doorknobs, phone screens and taps need cleaning every day. 🔁

• Kitchen counters & cutting boards: clean after preparing raw meat or vegetables to avoid food poisoning. Use a separate board for raw meat if possible. 🍗🥬
• Bathroom floors and tiles: clean weekly and dry to prevent mould and slippery areas. 🚿
• Toys & baby items: wash small toys often in soapy water; adults can disinfect sometimes. 🧸
• Cloth surfaces (rugs, curtains): shake outside, wash when dirty, and dry well in the sun. ☀️

• Always ask an adult to help when using bleach or strong cleaners. ✔️
• Never mix bleach with other cleaners (especially ammonia) — it makes dangerous fumes. ⚠️
• Wear gloves if you can, and wash your hands after cleaning. 🧤
• Use soft cloths on wood and glass so they don’t scratch. ✋
• Keep cleaning products out of reach of small children. 🔒

• Daily: wipe table after meals, sweep kitchen floor, wipe sinks and taps. 🕒
• Weekly: mop floors, clean bathroom tiles, wipe cabinets and countertops. 📅
• Monthly: wash curtains or mats, deep clean the kitchen and check for mould. 🧽

Walk around your house with a notebook and write down:

1. Five different surfaces you see (e.g., tiled floor, wooden chair, stainless sink).
2. How you would clean each one (sweep, wash, wipe, dry).
3. Who will help you (mom, dad, elder sibling). Ask them to show you how to use cleaners safely. 🤝
