We would all like to have the perfectly clean home as well as be the perfect spouse, mom, or dad. Unfortunately, that can’t always be the case, so here is a real mom’s guide to the perfectly clean house.
Daily Cleaning Tips
- – Close all the bedroom doors, so you forget how messy they are.
- – Walk into each bathroom to see if it smells funky. If you do, light a candle.
- – Soak dishes in the sink, so you feel like you are making progress.
- – Let the dog get the crumbs on the floor. If you don’t have a dog, get one.
- – Get a basket for the mail and only look at it every three weeks.
- – Pick up stuff on the floor and shove it in a closet.
Weekly Cleaning Tips
- – Scan your car for cups or fast food bags with rotting food.
- – Pile recycling next to the trashcan.
- – Run a Clorox cloth over a few counters.
- – Consider dusting and then reconsider and go watch TV.
- – “Think” about where the vacuum is, then go out and buy yourself a Roomba.
Monthly Cleaning Tips
- – Think that it might be easier to burn down the house and clean it.
- – Have a good cry.
- – Spend an entire day cleaning and make your kids help.
- – Cry again because the kids messed up the house right after you cleaned it.
- – Repeat all steps forever.
