Seeing lots of threads on cleaning so...

[adrianabelshaw]

what is the best cleaning tip you have? What are the most powerful words of wisdom that helped you prevail? (too much philosophy? ) Do you have a cleaning lady or you do it by yourself? Anything related to cleaning down there.
PS: Having struggles cleaning lately (moved to a bigger property with 5yo DS, so having lots of fun) so looking for your tips/pieces of advice on how to handle it all/not to worry about anything, hire a cleaner and get drunk

Cilit Bang - don't accept imposters!

Oooh I love a good cleaning thread!
My main tip is to live tidily. Sounds easy and obvious but if you spend the extra minutes (seconds actually) just finishing the job, the house really does stay tidy longer.
My tips are mostly from here! Bicarbonate and vinegar for the oven is my current favourite
Dishwasher for all kinds of stuff, bins, all sorts. (Whole other thread!)
Flash sponges for all the grubby marks on paintwork
I do my kitchen worktop with window spray and it shines like glass.

Oh and yes to Cillit bang. Especially the green one for grease - I just deep cleaned my whole kitchen with it, it's marvellous!

And these, one for each child to take up when they go

Don't put it down put it away !!
