    Question How to keep your house clean?

    Okay so my house is a sty again
    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

    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.
