Cum tinem casa curata

Cum tinem casa curata

Mana sus toate mamicile cu copii sub 4 ani care au strans, spalat, aruncat sau curatat ceva in ultima zi! Sper ca ati ridicat toate mana, altfel  o sa fiu convinsa ca Vladut este copilul atomic si am totusi o presimtire ca nu e el chiar asa de nazdravan!

EN: Raise your hands all mothers with toddlers under 4 who have washed, cleaned up or thrown out something today! I hope you all raised your hands, otherwise I will be convinced that Vlad is the atomic child and still I have a feeling that he is not that naughty!

Inainte de Vlad ajungeam sa curat prin  casa o data pe saptamana, poate chiar mai rar, fiind prinsa cu un program  absolut haotic si avand si ajutorul unei menajere. Ei bine, menajera o avem in continuare si probabil ca fara ajutorul ei am fi complet pierduti, insa brusc nu mai e plauzibil sa cureti casa doar o data pe saptamana. Lucrurile  se varsa, se pateaza, se murdaresc, se sparg si sunt imprastiate intr-un  ritm ametitor: daca nu strangem imediat, a doua zi deja suntem depasiti!

Spre exemplu camera lui o curat de vreo 2-3 ori pe saptamana, in functie de cate ori a decis sa dea de mancare la furnicute (nu avem, insa in ritmul acesta o sa ni se duca vestea prin cartier!), in functie de cate ori a pictat sau daca si-a dat seama ca probabil sucul de portocale sta mai bine pe jos si nu in pahar. Viata cu cei mici este amuzanta si interesanta insa ingrijorarea pentru sanatatea sa, mai ales din punct de vedere al curateniei a fost un lucru nou pentru mine.

A trebuit sa fac doua lucruri aparent complet opuse: sa devin mai stricta cu metodele si solutiile de curatare si in acelasi timp sa accept ca nu o sa pot controla totul si ca da, uneori va baga mana in gura dupa ce a scormonit sub pat sau ca va manca de pe jos. Sper din suflet ca regula de 5 secunde este inca la fel de valabila asa cum era cand eram noi mici, insa am incercat sa controlez ceea ce tine de mine. Asa ca fac curat prin locurile ciudatele unde stiu ca incap copiii care au maxim un metru si incerc sa cumpar produse  de curatenie antibacteriene, precum Dettol, dar care totodata sunt si safe pentru copii si adulti. Dettol omoară 99.9% dintre bacterii, reuseste sa dezinfecteze si sa previna raspandirea microbilor, bacteriilor si a virusilor – lucru ideal mai ales ca racelile si gripele dau multe batai de cap celor mici.  Dettol este aprobat de Societatea Romana de Pediatrie si poarta mesajul acestora: “Produs Recomandat de Societatea Română de Pediatrie”.

Voi ce suprafete curatati si cum le mentineti safe pentru cel mic? Caut orice noua strategie, pentru ca uneori ma simt depasita!

EN: Before Vlad, I managed to clean the house once every week, maybe even less than that, being caught up in a chaotic program and having the help of a maid. Well, we still have the maid and we would probably be completely lost without her, but all of the sudden cleaning the house just once a week is not enough anymore. Things get spilled, stained, dirty, broken and are scattered in a crazy pace: if we don’t clean up straight away, the second day we are completely overwhelmed!

For example, I clean his room about 2-3 times a week, depending on how often he chose to feed the ants (we don’t have any, but at this rate we’ll be famous around the neighborhood!), depending on how often he painted or realized that orange juice looks better on the floor than in the cup. Life with toddlers is fun and interesting but the concern for their health, especially when it comes to cleaning, was something new for me.

I had to do two seemingly opposite things: become more strict with my cleaning methods and products and at the same time accept that I won’t be able to control everything and that yes, sometimes he will put his hand in his mouth after putting it under the bed or that he will eat off the floor. I really hope that the 5 seconds rule still stands, but I have tried to control what I can. So I clean weird place in which I know that kids of maximum 1 meter height can fit into and I try to buy antibacterial cleaning products, like Dettol, but which are also safe for kids and grown-ups.  Dettol kills 99.9% of bacteria, manages to disinfect and prevent germs, bacteria and viruses- which is ideal especially since colds and flus are really hard on kids. Dettol is approved by the Romanian Pediatric Society and carries their message.  

What surfaces do you clean and how do you maintain them safe for your little ones? I am up for any new strategy, because sometimes I feel overwhelmed!
