Think of the counters that get dirty every now and then and you have to rush to any shop to get the cleaner. That cleaner too does not stay long and disappears due to much use. Now, you need not worry about that since you have your own cleaner that will not only be readily available but much less expensive as well.
Lastly, one of the things in this regard that needs telling is to be conscious of hygiene all the time. One of the ways is to install dustbins in the house and dump all the wastes onto it. Secondly, we have observed much of the dirty in the house is transferred from the outside. So, it is always advisable to have Mats On The Doorsteps so that when you enter the house you properly clean your shoes and do not carry dirt along.
Also, try to maintain discipline in your life. Your room and washroom must be your responsibility. Once you own it and take the responsibility believe me you would not create a mess. Mostly, it is our carelessness and irresponsible behavior that account for the mess around us. We kind of take for granted who does the cleaning. Today onwards, pledge yourself to be organized and keep up cleanliness around!
