This much having been done, the sweeping comes next. Now, it will not be requisite thoroughly to sweep the carpet all over above once a week; on the other six days, only those parts of the room chiefly used, will require sweeping, and this may be done with a dust-pan and a soft hand-brush. Then comes the dusting, and in doing this a feather brush should be used for the frames and chair-covers, and a duster for the furniture. On the cleaning day the carpet must be well swept with a carpet-broom and tea-leaves, the furniture well cleaned and rubbed, the mantel-piece and ledges washed, the inside of the windows cleaned, and every ornament well dusted. The street-door steps should be cleaned, the mats shaken, the passage swept, and the brasses polished before the family come down. The breakfast is then to be prepared; the cloth laid, the breakfast service properly arranged, the ham or eggs, or whatever it may be, cooked, the toast made, the butter set in clear, fresh water, the coffee prepared, and the milk boiled. The servant next proceeds to the bed-rooms, opens the windows, lays the bed-clothes back to air, and turns up the mattresses or feather-beds in each room, then empties the slops, cleanses and rinses all basins, jugs, bottles, &c., wipes up all slops, and brings fresh water to supply the wants in each room. The beds are then to be made, and the rooms dusted. On cleaning day, which should come for each room once a week, the chamber utensils must be well washed in warm water, the carpets taken up and shaken, the floor scrubbed, the curtains shaken, and the furniture cleaned. During the summer the floor under the bed should be washed over three times a week at least, to remove all dust and flue. Before all this can be finished, the breakfast will have had to be removed, and this should be methodically done; the china being gathered on to a tray without either fuss or rattle, the crumbs brushed from the cloth, and this latter doubled up in its original folds, and any crumbs which may have fallen on the floor swept up into a dust-pan. The servant will now get her own breakfast, and then wash up and put away the breakfast-things, having first set aside the eatables, giving the scraps to the cat, and taking care that nothing is wasted.
