Whistle while you work
Posted by Brittney | Filed under Cleaning Party
While home improvement sort of took over our life when we moved into our humble abode, we also had another challenge. Keeping our house spic and span. I’m definitely a cleaner. Matt is not. I think he’s more of a hoarder. He thinks I clean just for fun. I would have to agree. I love the feeling of accomplishment after scrubbing the tub or putting away the last of the clean clothes (don’t judge). We’ve got quite the cleaning system down now, but it hasn’t always been that way. Now we have routines that keeps our Happy Home running smoothly.
Matt puts away dishes and takes out the trash. I do the dishes and the laundry. He does all of the outside upkeep and I do all of the inside. We’re all about equal cleaning opportunities but I hate taking out the trash and Matt hates laundry so this just works for us.
Our evening and morning routines also keep our house from becoming an overwhelming pit. Just by picking up at night and wiping down the bathrooms in the mornings keeps our “deep cleaning” to a minimum.
On Saturday mornings we have a “Saturday Morning Cleaning Party.” Turn on the music, whistle while you work and scrub the house down. Fun times.
One of our friends keeps her cleaning schedule on the fridge, so we thought you might want to see ours.
So tell us, do you whistle while you work? Love to clean? Hate it?
Some of my favorite cleaning resources.

Hoarder!?! Seems a little harsh…
