Want a clean
house but don't have a lot of time? The key is organization and scheduling tasks.
Organize and schedule? Who has time for that? Believe me, this is the only way

Buy a large
basket or a handled, plastic container. This is where you will store all of
your cleaning supplies. Select a convenient place to store the basket such as
beneath the kitchen sink or in a pantry. Do the same with the broom, mop, vacuum,
dustpan and bucket. Always return everything to its place after using and make
a note of needed supplies before you run out so you always have what is needed
while cleaning.
Time to
Clean:
Decide on a
routine. If necessary, write down your schedule and carry it with you in your
supply basket. Whatever schedule you select always remember to clean a room
from the top down to the floor. Here is a sample schedule based on a three
bedroom, 2 bath home
