1. Run the dishwasher after supper, empty it first thing, fill it as you go ...
2. Never let towels out of bathroom - they will be left in a soggy heap
3. Bathrooms get mucky after a few days so a big weekly clean a waste of time
4. Quickly wipe round bathroom basin, top of bath, loo every other day
5. Keep cleaning stuff in each bathroom / cloakroom
6. Keep bin bags upstairs so can easily empty bins without bringing down
7. Enforce ALL dirty clothes in laundry basket before bed time stories rule
8. Hang up clothes that could be worn again ... cuts down laundry
9. Have a laundry routine and stick to it ...
10. Be absolutely brutal about ironing - work & best clothes only
11. Hang everything up as soon as it's dry ... iron when it's needed
12. Make it fun ... but enforce 2 minute "tidy up time" of toys every day
13. Have a large basket into which stuff to go upstairs can be stashed throughout the week
14. Empty the basket & put things back where they belong once a week
15. Making the beds only takes a minute & it will make you feel more in control ...
16. Get everyone to take shoes off when they come in house
17. Start a basic housework routine ... that actually works for you ...
18. 15-30 mins housework daily more effective than a big blast
19. Clean against a hard deadline e.g. school run ... you'll be much more efficient
20. Start cleaning from bottom of house ... this is the bit visitors see
21. Stock up on baking soda & white vinegar ... there's not much they can't clean
22. Get a telescopic real feather duster ... it will dust a room top to bottom in no time
23. Run baking soda & vinegar through your dish washer every 6 months
24. Run vinegar through the washing machine every 6 months to keep it fresh
25. Give children a spray bottle of water & a cloth so they can "help"
26. Get a "spring" cleaning check-list & do one thing off it every week
27. Even if just a few baskets & a pin board have a "command centre" for post & notices
28. Always cook double quantities ... and freeze one ...
