My home is hardly ever 100% clean. There's always something, somewhere that needs cleaned. Although, it looks better than it has been...at least in the publc areas. The bedrooms look like they've been hit by a tornado. I started working on the kids room this morning. Wasn't able to get much accomplished, but it looks better.

I know what you mean, most of the time when my girl and I go out for work we usually don't have time until the weekend to do house chores.

We might do a little here and there during the week but normally we come back from work awfully tired and just want to eat something and rest for a while.

There are times when I come home from work, and the last thing on my mind is cleaning. I just want to get something to eat, and veg in front of the television or just head for bed.

I think our home is quite clean
If something needs cleaned it gets cleaned there and then
The living room and bathroom are always clean and tidy
Bedroom can be a bit of an untidy mess at times and the spare room is a dump,

Hi Sunrise,

All the peoples would like to have the home with very clean
because to looks in the way of professional with more beauty, so
we have to clean the house everyday and also need to do more decoration
in order to have the beautiful looks. So most of the times I am concentrating
on my house and need to be clean as much as possible and also need to do
lots of more decoration in order to have the good and professional looks
in the interior and also appreciated by many more visitors. So we have
to try our best to keep the home in clean condition.

Have a nice day.

I make an effort to try and keep things in their place. I try not to let the piles get to big before I do something about them. Clothes get put away, though they may spend a few days in the dryer. My biggest mess is the dust. I dont do dusting. Sometimes the dust bunnies get big enough to hop away on their own:). I also hate doing the dishes. I dont have an automatic dish washer, I do them by hand. I live alone and dont generate enough to make it worth running a dishwasher before I run out of certian bowls.

I know that it is harder to maintain order with kids, your house sounds just like that of my friends who have kids. I wouldnt worry to much about it, just try to keep the disaster look down to a min when people are coming over. and get your kids to clean their own room.

Our home is clean, it is just usually messy. We have 4 children so it is very hard to keep all of the toys and stuff kids are playing with put away all the time. I wouldn't call it unclean, we do the dishes and clean floors regularly but there is always something laying around where it shouldn't be. My goal is to usually pick up kids stuff a room a night.

That sounds like the game I play at times. Although, I sometimes play that game in the afternoon, especially if I have to work that night.

Never as clean as I want it! I'm no neat freak but my kids are SLOBS! You know when they show footage of litter bugs that drop wrappers right on the ground without even thinking twice? Those are my kids!
I want public rooms to look decent as well but our house is sooo small it seems an imposible task to do with out tossing out all their things. I can spend all day in just one bedroom and then still just make a dent into it. And of course while I'm in their room they are trashing the rest of the house. It's very hard on a person to deal with this bs. My hubby says I yell too much but if I don't correct them how will they know they are doing wrong? Praise them for their piggy ways? I AM NOT A MAID!

My house needs a lot of help I can hardly keep up with the mess that my family makes. Some days I wish that I could hire a cleaning service to come in and help but we don't have that kind of money to spend. I try and follow the routine from flylady.net and for the most part that has help. They e-mail weekly and daily tasks that would need to be done around the home and each week their is a different "zone" to be tackled. For example, one week would be the bathroom and another week would be the living room.

Most days I do set a timer to 15 minutes a day. You would be surprised at how much cleaning can be done in just 15 minutes. When it comes to laundry I usually fold the laundry at night when I am watching my favorite tv show.

Our home is not totally cleaned 100% most of the time. But all members of the family do its share. Each member had t keep their bedroom clean. Kitchen is very well maintain, the sinks are free of any uncleaned utensils. The bathroom is cleaned daily, I make sure of it. The living room is cleaned twice a week. The garage, twice a month. Every weekend, each member of the family has its own chore to take to see to it that the house is well maintained and cleaned in an appropriate manner.
