It's that time of year, isn't it? And it's never as fun as she makes it look in the photo.
I thought I'd re-post Peg Bracken's snarky and fun housekeeping tips from the I Hate to Housekeep book again this year for the reluctant housekeepers among my readership (we are a silent minority, I think!). Reluctant to clean or not, everybody likes to live in a tidy space even if we would rather pursue our hobbies than clean house. As such, I find some of Peg's practical advice, originally directed to the 1960s housewife, to be applicable today:
And Peg's writing is always good for a laugh.
Do you have cleaning tips that make housekeeping faster, easier, or possibly even fun? Feel free to share them here.
I am retired and the first thing I said to myself is NOW I will have time to really clean the house. Guess what - you don't have time. My house was cleaner when I was working. My tip is always have baking soda and vinegar near by.
ReplyDeleteHa ha! I guess the only way to have a clean house all of the time is to hire a live-in maid (in my dreams, of course). I also use vinegar; it is one of my favorite earth-friendly cleaning products.
DeleteNo tips cause no matter what it's gonna get dirty - again.
ReplyDeleteSo true!
DeleteActually, you're not odd at all! I used to enjoy cleaning and love having a clean house but I don't enjoy it AT ALL anymore because of my health issues (it simply causes too much pain to vacuum, dust, scrub, etc). I do still enjoy organizing, though, and find that less taxing than the recurrent grind of cleaning.
