When you take care of things, they typically last longer.
For example, if you never clean your stove top it becomes almost impossible for it ever to look like it did when you first purchased it. If on the other hand, you clean it after you finish cooking you can almost be assured it will look almost brand new for years. I know this first hand. When I sold my home last year, because I had properly maintained my property, the assessor thought my updates were far more recent than they were by more than ten years.
I know there’re a lot of people who can relate to this. I literally can’t go to bed if I leave a mess to clean up the next day – hence, it never happens. I also just like the idea of waking up in the morning and the house is clean, tidy and organized.
For me, it’s a beautiful way to start the day.
