Photo by lusiI mean, I'm really going to clean the house today. I'm usually pretty good at keeping the house clean, but once in a while, I like to go through more thoroughly than usual.
Beside the usual stuff like dusting, vacuuming and all that, I find that it is really gratifying to grab 2 big garbage bags and do a house walk-through.
One bag is for Garbage; the stuff that no one in their right mind would want (and why would I have that cluttering up my home?).
The other bag is for Donation. Things that will not be missed, but is still in good condition.
I'm pretty ruthless about it, but I find that this method does keep my home less cluttered. I think it's my favorite "chore".
What do you do to make cleaning your house easier?
Don't tell me to hire a maid. I wish I could. Then again, no. I don't know if I can get used to the idea of someone else cleaning my stuff.

Ha- I am NOT the right person to ask!! We're getting ready for a purge, though- you're right, it's a very gratifying chore!
Ugh...the MESSES are the worst around here. I grab a huge tote bag and walk from one end of the house to the other, grabbing up anything that is in the wrong room. Then, I walk back the other way, and put it all away!
Oh, and I give the mop to BBJ. ;-)
