Housework blues.

The only daily chores are bed airing/making tidy/clean kitchen and bathroom. Other jobs get done as and when needed. If the windows look dirty I clean them if the floors dirty it’s washed. On wet days I’ll spend time doing kitchen cupboards or clean blinds hoover under and behind furniture nothing is done in strict order but the house remains clean and tidy all the time. I just feel happier that way.

I’ve still got beds to hoover under and skirting boards behind the beds to wet wipe and I’ve just noticed cobwebs around the patio doors in the back bedroom, so it’s a total blitz job in there today, whilst I’m waiting in for a delivery.( Kitchen and Bathrooms are always kept clean.)
Only another 4 bedrooms to do, I must admit to neglecting them but keeping the rest of the house clean, it’s always tidy, just don’t look under the furniture!

That was re BigBerthal’s whirlwind method.

All that in less than an hour?! I’d need to go back to bed!

Agree with E27 're one room at a time. I'm certainly neither expert or domestic goddess but I would start with the kitchen and then the bathroom before others. I was taught that tidyness 'gives the impression' of clean and I find that a comforting start. I'm basically lazy domestically and therefore find 'a place for everything and everything in it's place' works well for lazy me. Who cares who sees it? It's your comfort and state of mind that matters now and it does seem to be bothering you a little. Fix it at your own pace and to the standard that makes you happy. I hoover every year whether it needs it or not! Good luck.

I'm a routine person. I do the same things in the same order everyday. Boring I suppose but I get the house figure same way everyday, all over in less than an hour. Breakfast, clear up, prep evening meal, clean kitchen, clean downstairs loo, make bed, hoover, shower and change, clean bathroom, daily admin coffee break.

Concentrate on one room at a time, give yourself a target with a reward at the end, clear a cupboard, fill a black sack, tidy an area, work for 20 mins sort of thing then the reward is doing something you want to do. If that is done everyday it wont take long, and the more you do that improves things will encourage you to go on.
