According to the training videos Ehrenreich watched, the steps that are involved in cleaning a room are dusting and vacuuming. To prepare a room for dusting, Ehrenreich was first instructed to spray rages with Windex, wood polish, and disinfectant. The next step is to divide a room into sections and begin dusting from left to right and top to bottom. The first step in vacuuming is to strap on the ten-pound vacuum to your back. Next, the carpet needs to be vacuumed in a fern like pattern, which adds a “cosmetic touch” to the room. Finally, as a sign that the room has been cleaned, the room is to be sprayed with the company’s floral scented air freshener.

room. My mom questioned why she should have to clean her room while her brother didn 't
this frustrates Doris as she would rather be doing this herself to ensure that they are done properly. 'Zulema doesn't dust. She half dusts.' This shows that Doris is unsatisfied with Zulema and is rather fussy when it comes to cleanliness.
Have you ever known somebody that liked for everything to be neat, orderly, and perfect? If you do you would probably say they have OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder, it is defined as a psychiatric disorder characterized by obsessive thoughts and compulsive actions, such as cleaning, checking, counting, or hoarding), but they are most likely just a perfectionist. In the story "Pancakes" by Joan Bauer, the character Jill is a perfectionist. In the story she tells us that she can not stand dirty mirrors, which is not hard to believe because I do not like dirty mirrors either. When you read that Jill has a stain removal kit in her top dresser drawer, it is a little hard to relate to because I sure do not have one in my dresser. I know people
She continued to achieve a higher rate of success with organizing and disposing of trash than with folding and storing her clothes properly. Mary was not able to complete either step of her room cleaning chore with any less than three or more verbal prompts. She required physical prompts on two occasions in order to store her clothing properly.

Until about 6 months ago, I lived in a house with 2 other roommates over a period of almost 2 years. We all had jobs that had different hours; therefore we were usually home at different times. After the newness of living away from home with other people than my parents or on a campus, I realized I was the one usually picking up everybody else’s mess. I would often go home and find dishes in the sink, the stove covered with dirty pots and pans, clothes throughout the house. Some of the time I would just go ahead and do the dishes, clean the stove and put their clothes in their rooms, but other times I would just get mad ignore the mess for a few days until it got to the point where I had to clean up.
My sister does not like clean her room, so she would not clean her room for months.
I thought it was a good idea to have Ms. Orbach prep the living for the Cleaning Services. She has a lot of bins with toys, shoes clothes, and other fabrics. There is a smell lingering for some of the bins where the cats used the bathroom. I had her start in the front of the living room where the flyers are mostly at, the shoe bins. I had her divide the shoes in to a three piles, Keep, May Keep and Donate. Ms. Orbach did not want to throw any of the shoes.
Calling my friends messy would be an understatement. My friends: Tony, Adrian, and Erick, all have filthy rooms; therefore they are filthy. First, Tony, being the least sloppy of the three, tends to leave his dirty clothes all over his room. Usually both his floor and bed are submerged in used garments. Second, Adrian, also is not the cleanest person. I have convinced myself that he does not know how to wash dishes, so he lets them stack to the ceiling hoping one day they will disappear. Lastly, Erick, takes the prize for being the most slovenly. He usually has both plates and dirty clothes blanketing his room, along with collection of soda cans and potato chip bags. Finally, it is now known that some of my friends are

I chose this term due to the fact that psychosomatic illnesses refer to illnesses that affect the mind and the body. So I think choosing the term Mind & Body simplifies/clarifies, and also makes the definition more easily for people to understand. Every disease comes with some sort of mental aspect attached to it, and then with some mental disorders that manifest physical system such as anorexia. So when treating psychosomatic diseases the health workers or mental health workers must look at a patient overall status when treating diseases. For example if a patient has been diagnosed with cancer the health provider might prescribe drugs that ease stress and anxiety for the
