School is out and summer has arrived! Are you worried about how things are going to go this summer? It gets so busy and so messy with the kids home from school all day. They seem to think that the kitchen is a 24 hour diner and since they are on vacation from school, they should be on vacation from house cleaning chores too! I’ve been doing some brainstorming on how to deal with it this summer.

One of the best ways for me to clean is to do ‘hotspots’ and ‘decluttering’ daily.Each day I declutter a different room. I spend 15 minutes in the room, straightening, throwing out garbage, putting things where they belong, and organizing the messiest area in the room.Also, each day I clean ‘hotspots’ in 2 different rooms. Hotspots are areas in your home that tend to collect clutter….tabletops, counters, shelves, etc. I spend 5 minutes, clearing off and organizing the messiest area in those rooms.For me, when the clutter is under control and I don’t see piles of stuff laying around, I find it much easier to do my other cleaning…it motivates me to get more done in the house.Although I dont follow Flylady to a ‘T’…these are a couple of the helpful tips I learned from her.Thanks for the great giveaway!jackieinmi67@gmail.com

The way I used to wash my boys baseball caps is this. Find a cooking pot that is about the same size as the cap. Turn the pot upside down and place the cap on it. Using some Dawn and a fingernail brush, scrub some of the dirtest spots. Then place the pot with the ballcap still on it, in the top shelf of your dishwasher and run it through complete with your choice of dishwashing soap. Then dishwasher is finished, take the pot/ballcap out, and set on the counter to dry. They always came out very clean.

My favorite cleaning tip is to wipe down your bathroom every morning. The counters, the mirror and a swish in the toilet. It really helps keep it from getting yucky. (This is a Flylady tip…She calls it the “Swish & Swipe”)
