Household cleaning

When building a house, many people try to create favorable conditions for their plants and flowers. The greenhouse or window intended for them is in a warm and sunny place, because without heat, air and sun, plants cannot grow and flourish. If such conditions are necessary for the life of plants, how much more important are they for our own health and for the health of our children and guests.

If we want happiness and health to remain in our homes, we must build them above all harmful fumes and lowland fog and give free access to heavenly life-giving remedies. Dispense with heavy curtains; open windows and curtains; climbing plants, beautiful though they are, should not close windows; don't let the trees grow too close to the house and darken the sun. Curtains and rugs can fade from the sun; framed paintings may fade; but the sun will give children a healthy complexion.

Those who have elderly people in their care should remember that they especially need warm and comfortable rooms. With age, vitality is declining, there is less resistance to unhealthy influences; therefore, older people need to have enough sunlight and fresh, clean air.

Impeccable cleaning is necessary for both physical and mental well-being. The body constantly releases waste substances through the skin. Millions of skin pores clog quickly if they are not kept clean with frequent baths; then the waste substances that must be secreted through the skin become an additional burden on other excretory organs.

Most people would greatly benefit from a cold or half-warm daily bath, taken in the morning or at night. A well-taken bath will never increase the possibility of contracting a cold, but, on the contrary, it will moderate against a cold, since it stimulates the blood circulation; blood runs to the surface of the body and blood circulation becomes more regular and free. Both the mind and body receive new powers. The muscles become more flexible and the mind clearer. The bath also calms the nerves. The bath helps the intestines, stomach and liver to function, gives them health and energy, and therefore aids digestion.

Keeping clothes clean is also important. Clothing absorbs waste substances that are released through skin pores; If you don't change your clothes often enough and don't wash them, the harmful substances will be absorbed again.

All kinds of disorder lead to disease. In dark corners and deserts, among rotting garbage, between humidity and mold, deadly microbes develop. Piles of crumbling leaves or vegetable waste that rot and poison the air should not be allowed near the house. Nothing impure or rotten can be tolerated in a house. In towns and cities where living conditions are considered perfectly healthy, there are often outbreaks of epidemics accompanied by high temperatures, which are caused by something rotting near the homes of inattentive owners.

Impeccable cleaning, plenty of sun and careful observance of cleaning rules in all the details of life are necessary to protect against disease and maintain the vitality and happiness of everyone who lives in the house.
