Cleaning the Living Room

Your living room can get messy very fast.

It is a room where you sit, talk, and relax.

First, pick up things from the floor.

A cartoon child placing a book on a shelf and a toy in a basket, looking proud, inside a tidy living room.

Put them in their right place.

Next, wipe the table with a clean cloth.

Dust the shelves too.

Then sweep the floor with a broom.

A cheerful cartoon person pushing a bright red vacuum cleaner across a living room floor, with small dirt pieces disappearing into it.

You can also use a vacuum cleaner.

Do not forget the windows.

Wipe them with a damp cloth to make them shine.

Empty the bin when it is full.

A bright, spotless cartoon living room with tidy cushions on a sofa, clean floors, and a vase of flowers on the table, warm sunlight coming through the window.

A clean living room feels great.

Your family will love to sit and relax there.
