CMs. How do you keep your house clean?

[welcometomyworld2]

It drives me mad. I am considering getting a cleaner as I find it so disheartening that as soon as the house is clean, the little angels muck it up again! Does anyone have any top tips? I manage the washing, shopping

(home delivery) and superficial wipe round while the dc are here, but the house gets filthy so quickly it really is getting me down.

Get a cleaner!

I have a cleaner.

Thanks. I think I will get a cleaner. Do they come when you are at toddlers?

Yes mine does. I don't think she could clean around us. Means we have to plan to be out quite early in the holidays too though.

I just resign myself to washing the floor three times a week.

cleaner twice a week, Friday afternoon so it's all clean for the weekend and midweek.

I have been thinking exactly that, I seem to be spending far too much time cleaning at the weekend.. Is a cleaner an allowable expense?

I know how you feel- use to spend my weekend catching up on cleaning and never had time for own kids/self. I have a cleaner for a few hours once a week and it is the best thing I've done. She does toilets, bathroom, skirting boards, oven n fridge,windows, hoovers etc- all the jobs I hate!! The house still gets untidy (as with every childminder) but at least its clean underneath :)
