I buy a big bottle of Awesome cleaner at the dollar store. I dilute it according to directions and put it in spray bottles. One in the kitchen, one in each bathroom. I also have a small bottle of window cleaner in each place. No running back and forth and it's easy to spray and wipe surfaces every day. I keep a cloth with each bottle in the bathrooms.
At my house keeping surfaces cleared of junk is a big problem. My DH thinks every surface needs to be filled with his stuff. I use small baskets for some things, like pocket change and pens.
I generally vacuum and do the other floors once a week. My house always looks lived in, but I try to keep it within reason and generally clean.
Since my DH retired, I have had to relax my standards or pull my hair out. The bald look is great on him, not for me!! :lol:
