I love some of these tips more than others. Have you ever red Don Aslot’s cleaning books. He had a math equation for how to figure out the difficulty level for cleaning your home. It went something like number of rooms x number of people x how much too much stuff divided by number of people cleaning. Life changing idea for me years ago. (He said work to get that number below 5 & mine is currently over 15, but was over 30.) He also had great pro cleaning tips to make things easier. I think if he, or his son, put out a book today he would put homemade cleaners from eco-friendly ingredients in that book. I hate that I still struggle to get 5 kids to do their chores, but chore rotation board has really helped. TY TY TY

This year I’m going to try to get a really really deep clean so thanks for the tips! It definitely gets overwhelming until you break it down into something like this and it helps me not forget anything! The information really helped me realize that cleaning should have a game plan to follow. I have always been a list-maker so, this was easy to incorporate into my cleaning routine.

In reply to Sandra D. Rosemary, I agree with Sandra. If you stay in this abusive relationship you will regret it. Your husband is selfish and abusive and it will only get worse. His behavior proves that he had no respect for you. I’m sorry that you have had to live with this situation and I hope that you can get past your fears and get the happiness you deserve.

In reply to Rosemary. Rosemary, Many may disagree with this but I speak from personal experience. Behavior like that is abusive. Emotionally tearing you down everyday so you feel like you do nothing right is ABUSE. I spent 10 years in a relationship like that. When he finally cheated enough and I had had enough to leave when he found another woman I realized how broken it had left me. Do not put up with that. YOU ARE WORTH MORE! More then that your Children shouldn't learn that that is okay. I know being a single mom is a scary idea in this world but you can be okay. Most of all healing from that situation will give you a life full of love and freedom. Trust me I have been there. I have been divorced 5 years now and still am healing from the shit but I'm healing! My ex is now on wife #3. They don't change. No matter how much you pray or blame yourself its THEM! Feel free to reach out if you need someone to talk to.

In reply to Rosemary.

I am sorry. While I stay at home, and the majority of the cleaning falls upon me still as the “homemaker” my husband has never said that cleaning was “my job.” He willingly helps out and tells my children to help out. We all pitch in around here… like yesterday when my potty training child had a huge accident after nap time. He was right there helping me and so were my kids as I worked on cleaning up the child and doing the laundry.

I am grateful that men in general are taking a much more active role in their homes than previous generations.

I cried when I read about getting family members to help with the cleaning. whenever I would ask my children to help in some way my husband would berate me for not doing MY job of cleaning. I remember the time I had spent several hours cleaning our shower, we have high iron content in our water which turns the walls orange. After I put a hand towel in the bathroom and asked my husband to wipe down the walls when he was finished showering. I worked 40 plus hours each week and he worked afternoons so he often took his shower while I was at work. After I asked him to wipe down the shower he just looked at me and said “why should I do your job?” I simply told him that he didn’t have to help do anything but that I would NEVER clean the bathroom again! This man would not even pick up after himself. One time I cooked lunch for him before I went to an appointment, when I got home several hours later his dishes, mustard, ketchup, mayo and milk were still sitting on the table. I proceeded to throw it all away! Anything to do with the house was MY job, all he did was MAYBE mow the lawn and once a year clean off the work bench in the garage that was a “catch-all!”
