Whole house needs to be spotless by tomorrow

I have a lot to do. It's been needing a good clean for a while due to work commitments etc.
Bathroom needs deep cleaning, kitchen, dining room, lounge, hall and master bedroom. A lot of stage stuff isn't actually mine, should I just label a few boxes with names and put stuff in?

I am armed with: numerous cleaning sprays, a steam cleaner and a Hoover.

Any tips? anyone from Bedfordshire want to come and help me?

Same here. At least you're doing something about it. I'm just lying on the settee worrying about it. Sad

You can do it perplex! Are you watching something you enjoy? Maybe clean around where you are? :)

Boxes are a good idea for clutter, Duckling, or reusable supermarket bags. Start at ceiling level and work down, hoover and mop/steam last. If you have other family members/house mates around, get them to tidy up other areas ahead of you, tackle washing up, laundry or pick things up from floors. Good luck!

How is it going? Are you horizontal on the sofa feeling smug yet?

I'm half way done!! Everyone else going/one to bed! I'm carrying on :)

Why does it? Is there a rule on here they houses need to be tidy before Christmas?

There was me thinking it was all about family and creating memories not rushing round cleaning

You need Bags, lots of them & a big out of site cupboard. You can sort them out bit bit later.

It's done! Thanks all :)
