Having commonly used cleaning supplies and tools on both levels of the house allows the client to conserve energy by not having to go up and down the stairs multiple times to retrieve items. This also allows the client to clean as necessary without having to wait for a specific day or time, providing flexibility and further conserving energy. Option B may be taxing on the client's energy reserves as cleaning the entire house in one day may be too much. Option C may not be feasible for the client's schedule or energy levels. Option D is a possibility, but it may not be cost-effective for the client.
