What is below was originally a page, but because I have not updated it regularly enough I decided to turn into a post. I plan to add-to this post as I learn new information related to this, and have found reading books on cleaning helps but it ultimately a time investment and it helps if clutter is minimized. This was a topic I took an interest in because I was never directly taught it and people can be very picky and appreciative of cleanliness and it is practical and I can appreciate rooms and homes that are clean. It is something to strive for.
