I wait until people are coming over, and then I panic and try to make it LOOK clean.
Every night I try to straighten up and wipe up the kitchen.... the rest lies in wait for panic mode.

A Dyson and a Hoover Floor Mate. I LOVE the feel of my tile right now! The water that is in the dump tank on the other hand...EW!

Ohh a floormate sounds divine!! And I thought I loved my swifter vac for all my tile.

I used to do Flylady and when I am really cleaning I do do it that way, and I guess I keep some of my habbits, but I usually do the evening routine int he morning b/c the evening I have zero energy and if I do I'm playing with you girls!!! But I HAVE to have a clean kitchen if not I feel closterphobic. I mean I really get into a panic. So I start there and then to the tile I vacuume it. And then tidey the rest of hte house and if I have energy I do dusting (light dusting with a duster only if someone is coming over or I'm specially crazy will I pull out the wood spray and wood cleaner). And then vacuume the carpets. I try and clean up the counters in the guest bathroom every few days.

but I hate cleaning so the rest, I have to set a timer just for me to get off my a$$ and do it. I dont like the bathtub cleaning, and if I do that I do enjoy using baking soda. It just gives me pleasure I dont' quite know why.

DITTO!

Oh how I wish I didn't clean this way, though!! But I'd rather spend my time playing than cleaning!

This is my new technique that seems to be going pretty good for me....As the girls are eating lunch I clean the kitchen.... then when they go down for their nap... I brew a pot of coffee and while that is brewing 12min to be exact! I run like a mad woman and do my "10-second tidy" I vacuum the living room and finish what is left of the kitchen then give the main bathroom a quick BLEACH wipe down (just so it smells clean )

Then my coffee is ready and I come up stairs to chat with you all!
