There are two types of cleaning: &#8220;cleaning after it gets dirty&#8221; and &#8220;preventive cleaning to prevent it from getting dirty. Many people may try to clean after it gets dirty, but that takes a lot of time and effort. Preventive cleaning can be done in 10 minutes &#8220;on the side&#8221; of something. Preventive cleaning is much easier. It should also be less burdensome for busy fathers.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000Handy mop, microfiber dishcloth, and Japanese towel are useful tools for &#8220;Tsudete Sweeping. A handy mop can wipe away accumulated dust without making it fly around. The microfiber dishcloth is useful for wiping up the kitchen, as its microfiber fibers collect dirt and absorb moisture. Japanese tenugui cloths are made of cotton, so they do not leave lint on the wiped area, which gives them an advantage in dry wiping.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center; font-size: 0.8em;\" class=\"fontL\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-1-2-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Recommendation of 10 minutes a day of \"Tsudzuki\" cleaning\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2799\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-1-2-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-1-2-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-1-2.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/>From left to right: Handy mop, microfiber dishcloth, and Japanese tenugui towel.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000All of these tools can be easily purchased at 100-yen stores, but the key to using them effectively is to keep them ready for use at all times. Since they can be used at any time, you can &#8220;clean while you clean&#8221; in a short time. Decide where you want to put the three tools and make it a habit to return them there after use.

It is better to ventilate after wiping off all the accumulated dust. Or, if you open some windows to create a breezeway, the dust that has flown in will be blown out.<\/p>\n<h6>The table doesn&#8217;t end when you wipe the top.<\/h6>\n<p>\u3000In the dining room, you may often end up cleaning up spills on the table or floor.

However, this is when the front side of the garment is soiled. If the front side of the garment is not particularly dirty and you are concerned about sweat on the back side that has been in contact with the skin, we recommend that you wash the garment inside out. Laundry with prints on the outside may also be better washed with the garment still inside out.<\/p>\n<div class=\"papa_flag2\">\n<h6><span><br \/>\n  <span>Pre-wash tips Part 2<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span> Oxygen bleach for blood stains<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u3000Blood stains that form when a child is injured or has a bloody nose are one of the most difficult stains to remove. Blood stains are composed of protein, so baking soda or oxygen bleach will remove them well. Apply the bleach directly to the clothes before putting them in the washing machine. (If using chlorine bleach, be careful not to use it on patterned or colored clothing.)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-1-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Oxygen bleach for blood stains\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2811\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-1-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-1-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u3000After that, soaking in lukewarm water of about 30\u00b0C to 35\u00b0C is more effective. This method is effective not only for blood, but also for breast milk stains, which are composed of the same protein.<\/p>\n<p>\u3000In addition, mud stains on socks and pants should be scrubbed with a brush while they are dry to scrape off as much of the mud as possible, because if they are wet, the mud will get entangled in the fabric and will be difficult to remove.<\/p>\n<div class=\"papa_flag2\">\n<h6><span><br \/>\n  <span>Pre-wash tips Part 3<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span> Dishwashing detergent for shirt collars and sleeves<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u3000Dishwashing detergent that removes grease can also be used for laundry.

When drying hard-to-dry items such as sweatshirts, parkas, and denim, fold the hangers so that the laundry becomes three-dimensional, which speeds up drying time.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-3-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Laundry should be placed so that the wide side of the laundry is exposed to the wind.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2814\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-3-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-3-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-3.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"papa_flag2\">\n<h6><span><br \/>\n  <span>Tips after washing Part 2<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span> Fold into the same size using a paper pattern<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u3000Folding laundry into the same size is a difficult task if you are not used to it. This is where we would like to take advantage of cardboard for crafts. If you fold laundry by wrapping it in the same size of cardboard, the folded laundry will be the same size. This makes it easier for children to help.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-4-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Fold to the same size using the pattern paper1\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-4-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-4-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-4.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-5-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Fold to the same size using the patterned paper 2.\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2816\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-5-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-5-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-5.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-6-500x333.jpg\" alt=\"Fold to the same size using the patterned paper3\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-2817\" srcset=\"https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-6-500x333.jpg 500w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-6-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/team-kaji-ikuji.metro.tokyo.lg.jp\/hp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/15-1-2-6.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"papa_flag2\">\n<h6><span><br \/>\n  <span>Tips after laundering Part 3<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span> Ironing from a small area<\/h6>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u3000The basic rule of ironing is to iron from the smallest area. For shirts, first the collar. Next, iron the cuffs, then the entire sleeve, then the front, and finally the back.
