What else would any self respecting mother be doing at almost midnight?

I know, I’m a sick girl – but I’ll tell you what, That 15 minutes that I force mysefl to do these few things is the greatest investment. I wake up to a clean kitchen and bathroom every morning.

And when you take a few minutes and hit it every day, there’s no build up. It really only takes a few minutes.

Or maybe you prefer spending your Saturdays cleaning house? Dragging out the sandblaster to get the bathroom clean?

Seriously – here’s what you do:

Wash all of the dishes. Wipe down the counters and stove and sink. It takes only a couple of minutes. Just do it.

Squirt some toliet cleaner in the toliet. Do a quick swish.

When you’re done with your shower – squeegee the shower walls.

When you’re done with the sink – take a paper towel and wipe down the sink, towel bars, and quick wipe of the toliet.

Keep paper towels and glass cleaner in the bathroom so it’s easy to do a quick clean up.

That’s really all there is to it. You’ll hardly ever have any hard cleaning to do if you just do little things consistently.

Just a life saving tip.

Did you ever notice that sometimes you can’t just do one thing? That one thing just leads to another, and another, and another?

I had one of those episodes tonight.

The dog is shedding. The cats aren’t shedding much yet. So nice of them to take turns. But anyway…

I brushed another bucket of fur off hyper dog – which is another exercise all in itself. He should be bald by now!

So, then I had to vacuum – myself first, then the furniture because I don’t want people to have hairy butts when they sit on my furniture. Nice of me, isn’t it?

Then the carpet.

Then the comforters on the beds, and the bedrooms.

Then the tile floors.

And while I’m at it, might as well wash the floors.

Why would I do that on Friday night instead of watching the CSI marathon?

So the house is ready for the weekend.

That’s when most people are home. Why leave the housework for time when you’re supposed to be relaxing and enjoying yourself?

Since it’s the time when people will be in the house more, it’s important to remove allergens.

Guests won’t be afraid to eat in your house.

Oh yeah, and people won’t have hairy butts.

It only took about an hour. I could still catch some CSI if I really wanted to.

And I don’t have to worry about it over the weekend.

I’ll be buying and planting more flowers, and cooking, and relaxing.

Whatever you’re doing, I hope you have a great weekend!

Did your mom teach you how to clean house?

I’ll bet if she did, it was probably the old weekly marathon event. Remember that? Every Saturday morning… Wasn’t that awful?  But that’s what Mom knew.

The ritual began with picking up, sorting laundry, throwing laundry in, scrubbing (and I mean really scrubbing) the bathrooms, dusting and vacuuming end to end, washing the floors, taking out the garbage, and then - there was still yard work (unless Dad finished it). And what about that range-hood? Ick. That got ignored for months.

But we just don’t have a day to dedicate to house cleaning, and even if we did, who wants to?

Now days, a lot of people still leave housework for the weekends. They come home and plop in front of the TV every night. By the time Saturday rolls around, it takes an atomic bomb to get it clean – so it never really does get clean. And it’s so depressing, isn’t it?

 That’s not for me! How about you?

I have some secrets.

I only do a top to bottom cleaning of the bathroom about once a month. Sounds gross, doesn’t it? But it’s clean – all of the time. I just don’t have to spend a back breaking day to do it. I use a squeegee, or sometimes a daily shower spray when I remember to buy it (I love the Method ylang-ylang one). I wipe up things every night – takes a few seconds.

I do one extra wipe up in the kitchen every night when I do the dishes. One night the cabinets, one night behind all the stuff on the counters, one night the microwave.  I wipe down the stove every night before the stuff dries up on it. The kitchen is always clean. And since there’s never any build up – it only takes a few extra minutes. It’s a breeze.

 I throw in a load of laundry almost every day. No build up there either.  And how much time does that really take?

I have 2 cats and a dog, so I vacuum a lot. That’s where my biggest amount of house cleaning time is spent. I keep the furnace filter clean. So there’s not a lot of dusting. A lot of times I cheat and just do a quick feather dusting.

That’s it. Just a few minutes here and there. And you’ll still have plenty of time for whatever else you’ve been wanting to do!

Of course, if you’ve been letting it go for a while – it’s going to take some concentrated effort to get it to where you can clean like I do. But I can help you with that too. In Secret Confessions of a Clean Freak, I give you a step-by-step plan to get the whole house tip to bottom clean.

It’s like anything else in life – once you have a system, it’s easy!

My daughter has a complaint. And it’s a valid one. She says, “People don’t know how to wash dishes.”You see, at her father’s house, they just pile stuff in the sink without rinsing and leave it for her to clean up. I myself have seen people complain about how hard it is to keep up with dishes. Washing dishes should only take a few minutes, it you do a few things first -When you’re done eating, scrape the leftover food into the garbage or garbage disposal.

Thoroughly rinse the dishes.

If you’re using your dish washer, you will skip the next few steps. I don’t care if you have one of those dishwashers that can handle washing plates full of food, If you want cleaner dishes, and your dishwasher to last longer, rinse them off first.

Place silverware and plates in the sink first, they are flat and you can place bowls and glasses on top of them.

Run hot soapy water.

You can’t fit all of the dirty dishes in the sink at one time. Run some hot soapy water in the pans to be washed.

Let dishes soak for a little while. Go take a walk or something.

When you come back – washing the dishes will be a breeze.

Let them air dry.

Put them away.

After washing the dishes, wipe down the stove before everything gets too dry and caked on. Take a few seconds and wipe down counters, range-hood, fridge and stuff like that. If you do it all of the time, it only takes a few seconds. Get in the habit of taking just a few extra minutes and your kitchen will always be clean.

You don’t have to work hard to keep your house clean – Just work smart.
