Instructions Remove The Language Barrier

Do you expect people to read your mind? When you simply tell your housekeeper or family members to clean the house, that’s what you are doing. So it’s no surprise when the doorknobs aren’t disinfected, the ceiling fans aren’t dusted, and the deck isn’t swept.

Geralin Thomas has created an exhaustive list of tasks that you can check off and leave for the person (or people) who will be cleaning your house. It takes the guesswork out of cleaning (Should I clean the top of the fridge?) The language barrier is removed because the instructions are also in Spanish!

As a professional organizer who occasionally works with cleaning services, Geralin’s list is helpful in saving time and who can not use more time?

¿Esperas que la gente te adivine el pensamiento? Eso es precisamente lo que estas haciendo cuando solamente le dices “Limpia la casa” a la persona que se encarga de tu hogar o el hogar de tu cliente. Si haces eso, no debe sorprenderte si las perillas de las puertas no se desinfectan, los ventiladores de techo no se sacuden ni se barre el porche de atrás.

Las “Instrucciones de Limpieza” creada por Geralin Thomas es una lista completa de quehaceres que se puede marcar y dejar para la persona (o las personas) que limpian tu casa o la de tus clientes. Con esta lista, no hay necesidad de preguntar si se tiene que limpiar arriba del refrigerador porque si esta marcado, se tiene que hacer. Y no habra malos entidos porque las instrucciones estan en español e ingles.

Para una organizadora como yo que de vez en cuando utiliza los servicios de limpieza, la lista que ha creado Geralin le ahorraría tiempo porque no habrá necesidad de pensar en y apuntar todas las cosas que se tienen que hacer en una casa. ~ Susana Enriquez, Professional Organizer
