常见的打扫房间方法有两种，“区域清洁法”和“任务清洁法”。来了解下它们的区别吧！
Zone Cleaning 区域清洁
Clean room by room.对每个房间进行逐个清洁
Task Cleaning 任务清洁
completing one chore, such as dusting, throughout the entire house, before starting the next.
先对整个房屋完成一项清洁任务，比如擦灰，然后再进行下一个任务。
铭铭妈认为采用“任务清洁法”要更高效一些，这篇文章也讲解此种方法的六个清洁步骤。当然学习清洁步骤为辅，主要还是让大家了解相关的英文表达。
Our Ultimate Cleaning Guide 我们终极清洁指南
Top-to-bottom, left-to-right.
从上到下，从左到右
For each task, start at the highest point in the room (if dusting, this might mean high shelves), and move from left to right across the room.This way, you don’t miss anything, and you won’t accidentally knock dust onto already-cleaned lower shelves.
对每项清洁任务，都从房间的最高处开始（如果是擦灰，那意思就是从高的架子开始），然后这样从房间左边移动到房间右边。这种方式的话，大家就不会落下任何地方，而且也不会不小心把灰掸到被擦过的低的架子上。
