Paper bags are made to carry aluminum cans, glass jars and other things. Recycling is possible with some kinds of litter.
Clutter problem
Clutter is belongings that have not been put away into storage locations designed for them. If there are not enough shelves and drawers and hangers and there can’t be more, this is a cause of clutter. There is a limit to the number of possessions that can be neatly stored in a home. A tangled pile of old coats, mittens, scarves, hats and boots occurs in some hall closets.
Dustiness
Over time dust accumulates on household surfaces. As well as making the surfaces dirty, when dust is disturbed it can become suspended in the air, causing sneezing and breathing trouble. It can also transfer from furniture to clothing, making it unclean. Various tools have been invented for dust removal; Feather and lamb’s wool dusters, cotton and polyester dust cloths, disposable paper "dust cloths", dust mops for smooth floors and vacuum cleaners. Vacuum cleaners often have a variety of tools to enable them to remove not just from carpets and rugs, but from hard surfaces and upholstery.
Dirtiness
Although one meaning of housecleaning is "improvement," the primary meaning of housecleaning is "the cleaning of a house." A goal of housecleaning would be the removal of mold from shower grout or smudges and splatters from a kitchen wall. Examples of dirtiness or "soil" would be dry coffee spills and jelly drips or muddy footprints on carpet. Soap and water is a "cleaner." Equipment used with a cleaner might be a bucket and sponge. A modern tool is the spray bottle, but the scientific principle is the same.
Training
