House cleaning hacks/routines

Good evening :)

I despise housework. I don’t mind doing washing and drying. Hate putting it away. My house is lovely and clean but I really don’t enjoy it at all, I even have music on, make lists etc.

I just wondered what your routines were and any tips etc anyone has?

Thanks

At some point, you have to settle for more tidy, less clean.
After all, housework is just that : work, unless you can delegate and not do it all yourself of course.
Music helps me too, something that gets me moving, I make it my exercise, works for me.
Take one room at a time, keep clutter under control, clean the loo, not fun, but makes such a difference, declutter countertops, dry dishes, put away, just little things.
I also make lists, enjoy X-ing off, feels like I got something done.
I clean the loo on Fridays, makes me realize how fast time flies, as it comes round faster than I would like!

The best tip is to have as little ‘clutter’ as possible - so that includes having too much in your wardrobe. Only keep what you can handle.

Can you hire someone to keep on top of weekly things?

I did a version of this 15 minute a day routine for a long time, probably got it from here! https://www.jaroflemons.com/15-minute-daily-cleaning-schedule-printable-checklist/

I keep on top of I just really don’t like doing it 🤣
I’ve been trying to stick to ‘don’t put it down put it away’ to make life Abit easier!
