Here are some tricks for keeping your house tidy: 1. Establish a cleaning routine 2. Create a priority scale. For example, in my case, because the kitchen, bar and dining room are vocal points (a house without partitions), they are on the priority scale for those cleaned first. 3. Wash plates, glasses, cutlery and cooking utensils immediately after every use. 4. Put things back, from where you took them 5. Now this is the key. “Cleaning as you go” It means: while you go about your daily activities, while you clean up. While passing by to go to the bathroom, want to pray, want to watch a movie, if you see things scattered or something dirty, immediately clean them.
