To keep the glass scratch free, think in two phases. Remove grit without contact, then deal with oils with a tiny bit of moisture. Hold the that model so the front faces downward and give it a few gentle taps to let loose dust fall away. If you can move clean air across the surface without touching it, do that next. The goal is to clear anything abrasive before you wipe. For smudges, use materials meant for coated optics. Put a drop or two on the material, never on the glass, then wipe from the center outward in smooth spirals with the lightest pressure you can manage. Rotate to a clean section each pass and let the surface air dry rather than buffing. If a fingerprint is stubborn, touch the moistened area to it for a few seconds and lift, then make a fresh pass. Skip shirts, paper products, and household cleaners. Less is more. If you ever feel unsure, a local shop can do a quick clean and check the seals while they are at it.

For a that model setup with stairs and tight sidewalks, tbh focus on a true one hand fold and a standing fold so it doesn't touch gross floors. Keep weight under about 14 pounds so it's easier on the stairs. Since your that model is three months and make sure the seat reclines deeply and the harness is snug, because a lot of tiny that model ones are meant for older babies. Good brakes that click solidly and front wheels that can lock will help on uneven sidewalks. When it arrives, practice folding it while holding something in your other arm which, yeah if it feels fussy now, it will be maddening at rush hour. Works great.

Fancy chore charts die by week two. Do fixed morning blocks and a hard cap (10–15 minutes) with a physical timer; if you miss your window, you wait. Clean your own mess immediately after you're done, then one person does a proper weekly clean on rotation. One shelf per person, one communal bin, and consumables are either split monthly or the buyer gets reimbursed that day. No guests during primetime hours and no grooming projects that take over the sink.
