I always notice the smell and clutter when I enter another person's house. I do a quick cleaning (90 seconds) of my bathroom and the guest bathroom every morning. My DH takes care of his. Neither one of us can stand clutter, so that's under control. I try to never leave a room in worse condition that I found it in. I have a general rule that if something takes 30 seconds or less I do it then; i.e., hang up a sweather rather than toss it on the back of a chair. We have a yellow lab and due to all the dog hair I sweep everyday and steam mop the living room and entry hall at a minimum. I try hard not to be a slave to housework because I'd much rather be quilting!
