I totally understand....I love what my mom used to say..."make sure the kitchen and the bathrooms are clean and the rest of the house will take care of itself!" Seriously, I try to clean one day a week and I focus on one or two rooms..I wouldn't want anyone to come see me with white gloves for sure! I would hope they were coming to see me and not how well I clean! Right now my cat, Mr.Peach, is shedding and so I am having to run the vacuum cleaner almost daily. YUK!
