My tip(s): rest on your laurels and let those who can clean, clean. Or pay for a cleaner. Or keep your line of sight higher than the floor. Or lower your standards. Or only have boys in the house - they don't see mess and dust, in the main, (Maybe that is just my boys?!)<br /><br />Or do a little everyday. Declutter so it is easier to clean. <br /><br />But I prefer to have a mad moment of harridan-like screaming to get everyone on board.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889703609429110183.post-39546073667223401342013-10-26T22:35:19.220-07:002013-10-26T22:35:19.220-07:00I think our family functions better in a clean and...I think our family functions better in a clean and ordered environment. We both work long hours and I like a sanctuary style home and we entertain a lot so I like the place to be visitor ready.<br /><br />I think that doing things immediately is key- as soon as washing comes out of dryer I fold/iron it. I do not let tasks pile up, I don't let dirty surfaces fester, I never let washing up sit (we do not have a dishwasher). <br /><br />I have a girl who comes in once a week to do dusting and floors and I am always wiping crap up with baby wipes! <br /><br />Everyone is different and you should do what works for you. Because I am so busy I do not want to spend precious down time cleaning so I maintain everything to a high standard. Clutter makes it harder to clean- would a god purge help? I visit the Salvos often to rid myself of books, magazines clothes toys and miscellany.<br /><br />xFaux Fuchsiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317677066408030053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889703609429110183.post-24452453638115198312013-10-23T22:57:38.701-07:002013-10-23T22:57:38.701-07:00thanks for making me feel better Ruth and Naomi!thanks for making me feel better Ruth and Naomi!cilosophyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733313024890630138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889703609429110183.post-78178491945789836932013-10-23T22:57:07.921-07:002013-10-23T22:57:07.921-07:00That's a great idea CasieThat's a great idea Casiecilosophyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10733313024890630138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889703609429110183.post-52517049655347390522013-10-23T15:57:52.119-07:002013-10-23T15:57:52.119-07:00My place is clean, but can run a little untidy wit...My place is clean, but can run a little untidy with stuff. I have a 5 things rule. Everytime I go into a room input 5 things away. Big or small, they are just put away properly. That way I don't get overwhelmed.Casiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03944363162346785439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1889703609429110183.post-35117924277197062542013-10-23T00:51:13.454-07:002013-10-23T00:51:13.454-07:00Hmm, I don't think I have a domestic bone in m...Hmm, I don't think I have a domestic bone in my body... I hate cleaning with a vengeance, hence our house is often dusty etc.... Less said the better.
