Cordless stick vacuum kept downstair for hardflooor dustbunnies and random tracked cat litter ]
George Vacuum (3-in-1) lives upstairs (carpets) and can reach the stairs (if someone holds it steady)

Astonish tablet down the loo at night when it needs it
Sink filled with water a a squirt of bleach overnight .

Bathroom gets completely emptied , all the containers in the dishwasher . Good spray of cleaner on sink, tiles, loo . ( Astonish one at the moment though it smells like a swiming pool)
Dry off with some old white flannels -they go in with the white towels on a hot wash

Everyone has to make sure their laundry is inside out except socks , empty pockets

Employ a good cleaner who also does laundry and changes bed sheets

Magic erasers clean mirrors and glass amazingly and don’t leave a smear.

Declutter as much as possible
This is key. Otherwise you are just moving stuff around

Also batch cooking. That leaves me with a couple of nights off a week that I use to get bigger jobs done.

A good cleaner once a week. Changed my life completely.

I have a small whiteboard in the kitchen and every morning I write a list of jobs on it and generally I find they get done either by me or DH / DC. Majority of the jobs are cleaning but some are general to do's like the post office or making a dental app etc.

Citric acid on limescale is amazing! Just melts it off and leaves taps etc shiny.
