I can offer up little advice in the way of keeping a house. My house remains in a constant state of clutterfulness, even though I work on finding order in the chaos nearly every day.
But never fear, my toilets are safe to use, and the kitchen surfaces get well washed and even sanitized – I know how to use hot water and make decent cleaner from vinegar and baking soda.
The best advice I can give is to get ideas and help from others. You know:
* The Flylady
* Heloise Yes, I grew up looking at back issues of Good Housekeeping magazine
* Your friends. And I don’t mean the ones who hire cleaning ladies. Wait, maybe I do.
* Your mom. Mine loves doing little cleaning jobs, so I just save some for her when she comes to town
Most of all, don’t give up. I will keep working on my house until it’s as good as can be.
Of course by then, my kids will teenagers and I’ll probably have to start all over again.
