Question

My house is a total mess i don't know how to begin cleaning it.?

Answer 1

Start with 15 minutes a day. If you have a lot of trash. Commit to one bag a day. Set a timer and go. Get trash or giveaways.

Even if you feel inspired, stop after 15 minutes. When all the trash is cleared, start combining all the like items. All the office supplies in one box or area, all the clothing in one area etc.

Another strategy is to pack up boxes of like items and store the stuff. Many people have a hard time deciding what to keep and what to discard.

Avoid that decision and just pack stuff up that you don't use on a daily basis. If you have bought things as gifts for other-pack up a box of those items too. Then when you've cleared everything away-go through 1 box a week. And distribute the item

-trash

-giveaway

-donate

-fix

-keep

Best of Luck!

Answer 2

Someone on here helped me and it made alot of sense...

Take one week and do a room a day.

Thoroughly clean one room

Bathrooms and hall ways and laundry room make in one day.

Keep up with the dishes every night or as you dirty them

This way you are not so overwhelmed with trying to make it right all at once.

Now I have more time to do other things.

EX:  Monday- Kitchen

Refrigerator/Freezer

cupboards

counters

appliances

floor

and anything else you need to clean

Tuesday:

Livingroom

dust

windows/windex

vac

Wednesday

laundry (wash dry fold and put away)

I do my bathroom now too

hallway vac

mop laundry room

Thursday

My room

change sheets

dust

vac

Etc..

Good luck!

it worked for me

Answer 3

Start with 1 room, but have am other room box ready.

Pickup and put away the largest items first. (helps with a sense of accomplishment)

If you find something that goes in another room you should put it in the box.  This keeps you focused on 1 room and being distracted by the other rooms.

Once things are put away, start cleaning.

Once finished put things from the box away.

Repeat doing at least 1 room a day.
