Here are some cleaning tips to help you get your kids to start cleaning your house. Simple cleaning solutions.

Aloha, I am a former teacher and now the owner of Aloha Maids house cleaning in Orange County, California. I am about to have a baby, so I am now thinking back to my teaching years, and wanting to apply some of those skills to teach my son one day how to clean up and why it is important to stay clean. I have created a lesson plan. If you are not a teacher, pretend it is a menu. Follow each part step by step, and add your own person notes to make the lesson even better.

Procedure:

Introduce the question, “Why do you think it is important to clean your mess?” Ask as many questions regarding the topic or “clean” in order to engage your child or to create curiosity.

Next, introduce the concept of germs and bacteria. Let children know that germs can make you sick. Ask questions like “Remember when mommy or daddy had a cold?”

Introduce the microscope and describe that we are going to look at mold through a microscope. Teach your child that one thing that mold and germs have in common is they are hard to see and can make you sick. If you eat mold you will feel sick.
