Used dishcloths soon start to smell, requiring a regular bleaching if they're not to be replaced - something your husband may not notice without it being pointed out to him, but easily addressed. It doesn't do to fill the sink with grease before turning to the glasses, but a man won't make such a mistake more than once when it means having to empty it to do them again. A dirty grill pan will require more effort before it will squeak, but it's good introduction to working up a sweat, as well as teaching a novice maid the importance of thinking ahead. Regardless of who prepares the meals, the cooker and microwave are ideal for adding to his responsibilities, once again needing nothing more than a once over with a wet cloth to start with. Once your husband is used to having a dishcloth in his hand, he can be asked to attend to the worktops as well, wiping up any spills or crumbs - especially if those were produced in the course of him making himself a snack. Again, he should put everything away afterwards, familiarising himself with the arrangement of the cupboards in the process. It's easy to make such an appliance his sole responsibility, expecting him to wipe out its inside each time. Many houses these days have a dishwasher, but that doesn't mean your maid can't do the dishes, whether that merely means loading and unloading the machine, or hand-washing any glasses and cutlery that may be damaged by its detergent. Using a tea towel rather than simply leaving things on the draining board naturally leads to him wiping down the latter, with the sink itself benefiting from similar treatment - even if only a quick once over.

When you're happy your husband has got to grips with the very basics, raise the bar slightly by insisting that he gives everything a rinse before drying it and putting it away. As we've already seen, it's an ideal task for starting a man's service as a maid, not only being one that he's more than likely to be familiar with, but benefiting from him wearing an apron and rubber gloves as he works. Remember, however, that to start with, it is sufficient for him to simply try his best, however meagre that may be.ĭoing the dishes can be the simplest of tasks, requiring no more than filling a sink with hot, soapy water before systematically working through a pile of dirty plates.

In due course, you'll want to make things more challenging for your husband, so we'll be considering ways to do just that - not just stretching his abilities, but keeping him on his toes if you so choose. We'll begin each section with something simple enough for any man to be able to take a reasonable stab at it, before moving on to more demanding duties. In this chapter, we'll look at some of the things your husband can take care of for you, systematically working our way around the house as well as examining other matters that are well-suited to being performed by a male maid. Before you know it, he'll have enough experience to be able to make more decisions by himself, allowing you to be less specific as he grows in proficiency. Once he's become comfortable with a particular chore, it can be extended or added to, with the sense of success that comes from a job well done boosting his confidence.

Without a well-defined plan, it's all too easy for a man to feel overwhelmed by a seemingly endless series of chores, the apparent impossibility of finishing the housework leaving him in danger of ending up demoralised - especially if he'd much sooner just be slumping in front of the television to start with! Rather than risk him throwing in the towel, or even finding yourself writing off his ability to help around the house entirely, it's better to begin small, breaking things down into manageable tasks and spelling them out clearly so that your husband knows exactly what to do. Although rarely used utensils benefit from a good cleaning once in a while, is that really the most productive use of your maid's time, or would you rather he'd simply given the floor a once over with a wet mop before heading on to the bathroom? Worse yet, chores have a habit of multiplying - you might leave your husband wiping down the kitchen worktops, only to come back an hour later to find the contents of the cupboards scattered everywhere. It's no good just telling him to go and clean the house if he doesn't know what that means, with the sheer scope of such a command seeing even the most enthusiastic of men at a loss for where to start. Whether your husband is raring at the bit to be your maid or rather more reluctant about helping around the house, it's essential for him to understand what's expected of him in the way of chores.
