Dirty clothes go in the hamper and jackets or clean clothes are hung in the closet.

Hook your glass cleaner and all-purpose cleaning spray on the loops to keep your hands free as you work around the room clockwise, cleaning from high (cabinets) to low (floors.)\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial\">Focus on one type of cleaning at a time. Wipe down fingerprints on all of the cabinets, for instance, before moving on to spraying and wiping counters. Then move on to windows and mirrors and appliances. Once that&#8217;s done move on to sweeping and then mopping floors.\n<p><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: arial\">For optimum efficiency, enlist the help of your family. If you can, divide the jobs among at least three parties: One of you can do the dusting\/vacuuming and changing beds, the other can do the bathroom cleanup, leaving only the kitchen and trash emptying for you to handle. The upside? You can get the whole house done in approximately 45 minutes, leaving more time on the weekends for fun.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>4: Set-up a weekly cleaning system Here are a few tips for keeping the mess under control from the experts.
