История

It’s Saturday afternoon, and Alex decides to clean the house. The house is a little messy after the busy week, and it’s time to organize everything. Alex starts in the living room. First, he picks up the toys and clothes scattered on the floor. He then dusts the furniture, including the coffee table and shelves.

After that, Alex sweeps the floor to get rid of dust and dirt. He uses a broom and a dustpan to collect everything. Once the floor is clean, he mops it with a wet cloth to make it shine.

Next, Alex moves to the kitchen. The dishes are piling up in the sink, so he decides to wash them. He fills the sink with warm water and adds dish soap. After washing the dishes, he dries them with a towel and puts them away in the cupboard.

In the bathroom, Alex scrubs the sink, toilet, and shower with cleaning products. He wipes the mirrors and makes sure everything looks tidy.

Finally, Alex takes out the trash and empties the bins in every room. After finishing, the house looks neat and fresh. Alex is satisfied with his hard work!
