Most women hate cleaning their house because they think that it is overwhelming and takes way too much time. Here is a solution for those thoughts and also a solution so you can have company over and never have to say 'Oh no,' again.

The first thing that you need to do in order to get your house so that 15 minutes works is break it into parts or areas. For the purpose of the article, I am going to use parts. When I say partsor areas, I mean areas of your house like the entryway into your house, the living room, or a porch. Once you have the parts in your mind, get a sheet of paper and write down parts numbered 1 through 4. After you have written these down, put your thoughts on paper. Write down each room by the part that you think it should go in (for exampled the front of your house to the parts no one really sees).

Next, with those 4 or 5 parts that you created, we are going to give it specific times of the month. Most of the parts will take a week, a couple of them less. For the easy parts like the porch and entryway, it can be broken down into 2 to 3 days. The parts with the kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom will take a week. The other part of that 2 to 3 day week will be the living room. With these large parts, you can add any extra rooms that you have such as an extra bedroom, an extra bathroom, an office, etc.

Then, we are going to make a list of what is important for you to do in these rooms. For most of them washing throw rugs, dusting, intense vacuuming or mopping are all going to be part of that list. The other things on this list are going to be what you want to have done in that room. For me, when I get to the living room I like to take the cushions off of the couch, sweep under them, and then vacuum as normal. This can all vary depending on what you like to do to keep your house clean for you.
