I thought we should start a thread to post our tips and tricks for housework. |
Housework? I'm allergic to it.

Oh, I think I forgot to mention that I live alone. :roll: :lol: :cry:

I love this board! |
I vaccuum my house once per week, and use my little dirt devil mini vaccuum during the week as needed. I make sure my bed is made every day before I leave for work, and try to pick up as a I go. I work part time, volunteer part time a few days a week, shop, laundry, iron. I only deep clean, really deep clean, every 3 months, and I no longer worry about that deep cleaning. My niece always needs a little extra cash, so I pay her to come over for one day and she does everything, waashes and waxes all my floors, cleans the refrigerator, dusts the walls and shelves down completely. She does all the odd jobs I neglect and she enjoys doing. I can keep up during the week, but i have someone else do the really deep heavy cleaning.

I cannot survive without Krud Kutter, only place I've ever found is at Home Depot. Other than that, I don't worry about it a lot
Keep it clean enough to be healthy and messy enough to be happy |
I can't help in the house any more, my poor hubby has to do it all, I will try to push the vacume from time to time to help out, but that will put me down for a few days. God bless.

I have really been working on my house and I had to go back to work after vacation but I am doing stations. Over my washer I had decorating things on a shelf but I really needed it for storage so I put all my clothes washing supplies there and its great. I made a basket for the dog and cat supplies so if I run into anything like that while I'm cleaning it goes in the basket. I tried to do seperate drawers like for socks, underwear etc. and that is all that's in the drawer. I love the pinesol in a spray bottle answer. Hope this helps and the 15 min. really works especially if you are in a hurry.
