Want a few domestic cleaning tips that will help you clean less?  The key to speed cleaning is prevention!  Laminate this list and keep it in a noticeable place.  You can check things off and wipe it clean the next day.  Your house will stay tidy and your weekly tasks will seem much less daunting.

• AVOID CLUTTER
  • Put things away after you’re done with them.
  • Stack things (a little clutter is okay when it is stacked neatly, like magazines, for example)
• Retrieve and sort mail.
• Pick up den at the end of the day.
• Pick up all trash and take it out when it’s full.
• Make beds and pick up room clutter in the morning.
• Wash and dry dishes.
  • Immediately after use put dishes in soapy warm water to soak.
  • Hand wash or put in dishwasher after each meal.
  • Make sure you grab dishes from all rooms (if you sometimes snack in your bedroom or living room, for instance).
  • Put the clean dishes away.
• Wipe kitchen counters after each meal.
• Hang up bath towels after use.
• Wipe down or squeegee shower after each use.
• Put dirty clothing in the hamper.
• Hang up clean clothing.
• Clean stains or spills as soon as they happen.
• Sweep entryway.

To avoid smells in smelly places use baking soda:

• Sprinkled at the bottom of the trashcan.
• An open box behind the toilet in the bathroom.
• Sprinkled at the bottom of the laundry basket (I sometimes use a dryer sheet there instead).
• In a bowl placed in the microwave between uses.
