[quote=Anonymous]Start with you and her sharing the task.  Buy her gloves for the task.  Teach her how to clean each thing.  For example, scrub the inside of the toilet first with the designated toilet scrubber in a long handle.  Second, spray down the toilet seat, etc. with Clorox spray.  Then wipe the actual toilet seat first that you sit on and the handle that you touch area.  Lastly, wipe the under side of the toilet seat where stains are gross at the end. Go over this process for sanitary practice.  Also, it becomes a structure for her to follow.  Teach her how much spray, etc. to use.  There is much to learn. Work with her for several weeks.  Teaching her how to stand back from sprays and odors.  And how not to over spray. You don’t want to just say, “You are cleaning the bathroom now.”  And, walk away. Do it together for several weeks. Eventually you can clean the sink while she cleans the toilet. You scrub the floor while she scrubs the tile in the shower, etc.   or vice versa.  You can monitor and build her up to the tasks. You’d be surprised with how much technique there is to explaining spraying the mirrors down with Windex and wiping the mirrors to get them very streak and dust free. [/quote]
