I have a couple of things I try really hard to live by (but alas, I am human, and sometimes let them go) that allow my home to be of the upmost cleanliness. Which is basically code for I won’t have to spend more than 10 minutes cleaning for at least two weeks.

• do all the mundane every day tasks (uhm) everyday - this prevents a four hour job of stuff that has piled up and drove me nuts for days on days end
  • things like dishes, putting shoes away, going through the mail
• vacuum it makes any room look better
• do it right the first time - don’t use cheater methods because I end up redoing it anyway
• make my bed - this makes my room look magnificent - and it definitely helps to have nice pretty bed spread and pillow cases

BUT THE BIG TIP OF THE DAY IS

• before I go to wash the towels I clean all the sinks in the house with that wash cloth or towel
  • this prevents using eight million little paper towels or cleaning pads (environmentally sound)
  • I get rid of all the hair and grime at least once a week
  • I don’t have little towels hanging around drying waiting to be washed because they go straight into the washer
