How to keep your house clean?

;) Okay so my house is a sty again:rolleyes:
I am wondering how everyone keeps their place tidy?
What short cuts, little tips do you use?

Everything was fine until DD2 arrived lol, now I have lost the plot:doh:

Any thoughts here?

We clean as we go. So if we are doing something, we will clean up before doing something else, IYKWIM?
It does help a LOT that my DF is very particular about tidiness and cleanliness. He does the majority of the housework.

don't feel dumb.
I can only echo BD though. Making sure the adults put back after using is the biggest tip.
Oh and a load of washing every day.

Wear blinkers and you cant see the mess LMAO.

I do the best I can, washing daily is a good start and stack dishwasher after every meal keeps kitchen bench clear.

I am a person who starts sorting and puts things in piles unfortunatly piles tend to stay where they start accumpulating as i loose motivation for going on with clean.
