How do you clean your living quarters?

Wife?

Maid?

Parents?

Just wondering because what I'm doing now ain't working.

 

lysol wipes. But do not mix with bleach wipes!

 

Parents now, Wife later (hopefully, i will help though )

 

I'm thinking just throw everything away. I have a magical trash chute in the hallway, I throw anything down it and its gone forever!

 

Use the trash chute and get rid of anything you haven't used in the last six weeks.
Then hire a cleaning lady to come once a month.

 

me...leave a spray bottle of all purpose cleaner on your kitchen counter...you will clean more

....do 5 minutes of cleaning every day, dont wait for it to pile up to a half day job

 

I do it myself. And my chick helps.

 

In my bachelor days I used to get up at five in the morning, take a couple of bong hits, run around and pick things up real quick, vaccum, wipe off counters, take out trash, another bong hit and then back to bed. We called it a BLITZKRIEG. We were half awake and loaded and barely noticed what we were doing. When we woke up in the morning it was like the fairies had cleaned up overnight.

 

lol...same idea but I clean when Im drunk

 

that's an awesome way to live.

 

give me your tools, dont throw them away...oh and your workout equipment

 

Parents have a condo in LA. Maybe I'll just dump a bunch of crap over there.

My dream is to make my place like a hotel.


Currently, i have a lot of random shit...lots of kicks, lots of old electronics. I have a strange obession buying t-shirts too.

the thing is I am good at hiding the mess inside closets and under the bed so when people are over, its actually pretty nice.

 

I generally always clean up after myself (try and get into that habit, makes life easier) but if my flat starts to get dirty I'll make a mental note to give a good clean that weekend, or whenever I have free time. My method rarely works for other people.

 

Keep the place tidy (easy, no man lives there!) (yes I am stereotyping) and give it a good cleaning every Sunday morning. I use only scent free cleaners since scented products make me really sick. Basic cleaner, cheap and effective, one part white vinegar, the cheap kind sold by the gallon, 3 parts water in a spray bottle. Good on any counters and surfaces. For floors, 1/2 cup vinegar in a gallon of water.

Take cat boxes and compost bin outside and soak for an hour in water with unscented bleach, then air dry - the sun (unless it's raining) deodorizes.

 

I hire a naughty maid.

 

Does your house smell like a hospital?

 

Actually, it probably smells like cake, since she is the Cake Lady.

 

I would like to try her cake.

 

Just do it my way. Never let anyone in. You might have to mow the grass once every summer to keep the nosy neighbor off track. Always borrow her mower and that will make her back off.
