Heck no.
I get the kids to clean.
The only time I "clean before quilt" is when I vacuum the floor I'm going to lay my quilt on to look at it or layer it.
Actually, I clean when the level of tolerance is passed. That was about a week ago. I do spot clean when I feel like it and that usually means the bathrooms first.
Don't get me wrong, our house is basically clean, just dusty.
