This post comes from Brentine Daggett at The Ktchn (www.thekitchn.com). Brentine kept a cleaning routine from the 1920s. It wasn’t easy. Why not? Simple. We have access to items now that wasn’t invented yet in the 1920s like Robo Vac. That wasn’t even an idea. Let’s look at what a cleaning process was then compared to now.
DAILY: Opening windows in the late spring till early Fall can be a wonderful thing. Plus it can save money by not running the ac which I don’t think every house had one in the 1920s. Of course, if you live in a Southern State like Florida, you can leave windows open year round. This would by done by 7:30 am. Do a basic tidying of each room.
WEEKLY: Turn mattress. Yeah! Turning your mattress will help extend the life of the mattress. Clean sheets and I would say pillow cases. Clear out pantry, fridge, and floors get washed thoroughly.
MONTHLY: Remove all items in the pantry and really scrub it down. Do what we call a derp ckeaning.
Brentine went into detail about what she did each day. Plus what she loved and hated. Plus she shared what she’ll keep doing.
