Use lemon halves to clean your microwave. Pour boiling water over the lemons in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook for five minutes. The steam loosens particles, letting you easilywipe it downand the lemons smell great.

I start dinner. Water boils. The microwave runs. I put away all dishes. If I have time, I wash any sink items from earlier. I rarely keep a pile of dishes or more than a few utensils in the sink overnight.

As a half-Japanese guy, I follow a strict "no shoes in my house" rule. Guests always remark on how spotless my floors look. I vacuum maybe twice a week. I live in AZ, a dust center.

I playCall of Duty. Between rounds, I pick up, clean dishes, make my bed, put clothes in the laundry, dust, wipe surfaces, etc.

I have a clean house by the end of a gaming session.

For bonus points, I sit on an exercise ball while playing.

I game guilt-free because I stay productive.

Pick up clothes on the floor or in piles. Put them away or into the laundry bin. Close all drawers and doors for a tidy look. Some people have 'tiny pile issues.' Spending ten to fifteen minutes to handle items is a life hack for those with 'tiny pile disorder.' Make your bed daily.

I have a love affair with the Magic Eraser. Use a bit on your car windows and wiper blades. It is FANTASTIC!

Clean ceiling fans with an old pillowcase. Slide it over the blade, pull back, and dust falls into the case. Shake it out after finishing.

Put a trash can outside the door. Do not bring in items to throw away, like junk mail or packaging. This is the best thing I ever did.

Put two or more trash bags in the can. This way, the next bag is ready when the kids take the trash out.

If laundry is part of cleaning, use my method: Buy a hamper on wheels with three sections. Label each section "colors," "whites," and "darks." When a section fills, you have enough for a full load. You will never need to sort again. This saves time.

Buy a hamper on wheels with three separate compartments (Dollar Store find). Label the top of each section with "colors," "whites," and "darks." When a section fills up, you know you have enough for a full load, and you will never have to pre-sort again. Saves time.

Wipe the shower after every use. Use the damp towel to clean surfaces. Spray scrubbing bubbles after each shower to coat the tub or shower, then rinse with the next shower. Or, keep a squeegee in the room and use it after every bath.
