Oh I love cleaning.

  1. Find a good playlist. I love listening to motown/Madonna/abba as reminds me of cleaning with my wonderful aunt. I can't clean without music.
  1. One room at a time. I live in a bungalow so work from bathroom to the kitchen. When I lived in a house it was start at the top work my way down. Just one room a day is fine so Monday bathroom, Tuesday bedrooms ect. Living room & kicthen gets done daily as most used.
  1. Set a timer. I have fibro & M.E now so I get exhausted quickly so I set myself a 20min timer so I don't over do it because once I start I sometimes can't stop.

If you can afford a cleaner just once a month to do a big clean or one off clean it will be easier for you to keep on top of. Xxx

Edited

Thank you
