Thanks for the tips. I have been working on cleaning as I go with the dishes. I also have started spraying down the shower, toilet, and sink after I shower and brush my teeth int he morning. I don’t scrub and just leave it on there until the next person showers or uses the restroom. Slowly but surely the shower and toilet are much much cleaner! I also try to clean my dishes at the end of the day at least. I am just so frustrated because it seems every time I clean a surface my husband thinks that it means he mas more space to spread his things out! I try to keep a counter clean and next thing I know a ton of papers are milled about everywhere! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! I can only hope my daughter learns from me and not him. I am not here to clean up after him, he is responsible to clean up after himself!!!!

Having 2 little ones, means your cleaning work is never done. Fun should be to get your kids and hubby involved so they know how much fun it is (sic!) :-)
I do use some of the tips but some days I wish I had Mary Poppins magic!! i

Great tips! I’ve also been employing the ‘never leave a room empty handed’ since my days as a server – That was the mantra going in or out of the kitchen by all the management and it’s carried over to my real life! ;)

I learned a great way to clean the kitchen that doesn’t make it so overwhelming. You start with an empty dishwasher. Then move through your kitchen in sections, entirely cleaning one section before moving on the next. If you get interrupted, at least you will have thoroughly cleaned one part of the kitchen as opposed to having everytihing halfway done. I leave sweeping the floors for last.
I also try to practice “mindfulness” while cleaning the kitchen, paying attention to the task rather than trying to “get it over with”.
Thank you for your very practical post!

Can’t say I love cleaning but I count it as a workout so that helps:) Yes, baby wipes are the best. Holey old tshirts are good too for wiping skirting boards and so on. I just cut them up, dampen them, wipe whatever and bung them straight in the washing machine so it’s all quite ecofriendly too and cheaper than wetwipes:) Thanks for writing.

I love the tips. I actually have been thinking about putting cleaning supplies under each sink like you suggested, as I thought this would streamline my cleaning time. And I’m a big fan of cleaning as you go!!!
