How to Make Your House Feel Clean Even When You Don’t Have Much Time

As any Lazy Girl knows, housework is the pits. Now, I know there are those of you out there that LOVE to clean. So, alas, what is a lazy girl to do? Well here a few tricks to help you house feel a bit cleaner, without taking 4+ hours or costing an arm and a leg.

1.

Pick up all the junk

Grab a bin or basket and throw in all the kid’s stuff. I put their stuff in the hall for them to put away. My rule is if you leave it there overnight, it will not be there in the morning.

Vacuum

I don’t know if it is in my head, but just vacuuming makes my house feel 50% cleaner!

2.

Do the Dishes

3.

Make your bed

4.
