Flyledi Marla Silli recommends that everyone - both housewives and working ladies - get a timer. Firstly, in order to spend no more than 15 minutes on daily cleaning, and secondly, knowing that work time is limited, women will not be distracted around, and this will help them focus.
Why do most women find time spent on cleaning lost?
Fly Lady Marla Silli, the author of an ideal house cleaning system, believes that the reasons for the lack of interest in such an activity as cleaning lie in its monotony (monotony) and the fragility of the results, as well as the need to breathe dust and harmful fumes, which exuding detergents and cleaners.
In addition, cleaning takes too much time, especially if you have to deal with the so-called "complex" pollution.
Marla Silli sees the solution to the problem in a systematic approach, which should be preceded by a fight against the following obstacles:
- The main obstacle is psychological. Only by abolishing this “bandwagon” under the name “victim’s syndrome”, which the subconscious substitutes for her, can a woman with a calm conscience, in a good mood and on a full “automatic machine” combine professional activity with boilerplate household duties.
Marla considers a no less important obstacle a painful state, overcoming a woman, confronted with the fact of the inevitability of a total cleaning of the family nest. Flyledi urges the women of the planet to simply abandon the exhausting and lengthy general cleaning, replacing it with short-term, but daily restoring order.
Marla Silli: how to restore order in the house
According to Marla Silli herself, she has already built a whole methodological system, having mastered that, women will be able to do much less homework daily and spend less time cleaning.
Marla Silli believes that the first step towards freedom is to rid the home space of unnecessary junk. In every house, according to flyledi, there are things that are easier to throw away than to wipe from dust weekly and put them back in place. How to find out that this thing is not needed? If it has not been used for a year, then it will never be useful to the owners.
Having completed the program to get rid of trash, I am sure “a flying housewife”, a woman will be able to reduce the time she needs for daily cleanliness to 15 minutes. Marla devotes her minutes to washing corners and closed areas - shelves, stuffed with household items and the space hidden under cabinets and sofas. At first glance it may seem that 15 minutes is too little, but when the daily short cleaning becomes a habit, this time will be quite enough.
The following rule of flyledi says: “Do not give any chance to dust and dirt”, that is, to be in time to remove before the pollution has formed. An important skill Marla Silli considers the ability to clean "on autopilot."
In addition to daily 15-minute cleaning, there is one more - a weekly hourly. Weekly cleaning, which consists of changing bedding and surface cleaning of home territory, flyledi came up with a very beautiful name: "blessing at home." Marla calls surface cleaning the cleaning of those parts of the house that are in sight.

Routines are a part of original slang, the author of which is Marla Silli. “Flying housewife” calls routines actions that women have to repeat so often that they are performed automatically.
