I HATE doing all the cleaning on Saturdays. Who wants to be cooped up inside all day long when there are more exciting things to do on a weekend? That is why in my house I have designated Thursday as our cleaning day. We do all the dusting, mopping, vacuuming, and bathrooms on Thursday evenings so we only have to do a quick pick-up on Saturday. Pick a day that works best for you!
If your house is anything like mine when I was growing up, you will find lots of cups spread across the counter. My dad would get frustrated if we put his cup in the dishwasher because he was "keeping it to use later". But, if you are like me and can't stand the clutter on the counter, here is a simple solution. Give everyone a water bottle that fits in the door of the fridge. When they are thirsty, they can get a cold drink of water without dirtying one single cup.
If you don't have time to wash all the pots, pans, and dishes before your guests arrive, stash them in the oven! They won't have to know your little secret. Just make sure to check the oven before you preheat it or you might end up with a bigger mess!
If you are out of paper towels, but you really need to clean those windows or mirrors, use old newspaper.
Keep your clothes smelling fresh by placing an unused dryer sheet in your clothes drawer.
