“Cleanliness is next to godliness.” As tempting as it is to put off the cleaning tasks for a later time, it is only a matter of time that you can include this habit in your daily routine. Cleanliness at home and at a workplace is an absolute must to keep yourself away from irritants and dust. What’s the bonus? It motivates you to work and live at peace.
