Ladies, what are your tips to maintain your house clean and beautiful?

This one kitchen tip I read once: “dont waste your time when you are in the kitchen”, meaning while you cook, you can wash, dry dishes, etc. This has been a huge time saver for me.

What are your tips?

    I live in a one bedroom apartment so it really doesn’t take very long to clean my place. So my tip is: live in a one bedroom apartment.

    I recently got a candle warmer and I love it. Not only it makes my house smell nice, but my candles last so much longer plus the nice indirect light from it looks really pretty. I also got a Bissell cordless rotating mop that makes the process of cleaning the floors sooooo much faster

    Don’t live with someone you have to clean up after.

    I do things here and there, not really a big cleaning day. Also of I’m waiting for something to cook, brew, heat, etc. I’ll do something like put stuff away.

    Reset whatever room you use.

    So when I finish using the washroom, I ready it for the next use before I leave.
    When I finish using the living room – the blankets and pillows I used on the floor are put back where they belong before I leave.

    This has helped me sooo much.

    I kicked out my ex, that did the trick

    Less cooking, less dirty dishes to wash, toilet doesn’t smell, laundry is always in the hamper, no dirty socks/soda cans/wrappers lying around

    Now I just do that cute 15 min-a-day flylady thing

    I do things for my future self. Like, when I’m getting ready to go bed if there are dishes in the sink I think about myself in the morning and how much better she’ll feel if the sink is empty. Same with a cluttered living room or counter top. Before I leave for work, I make the bed because later tonight me will appreciate getting into a nicely made bed.

    It really helps me keep with day to day things that I used to let pile up.
