What Should I Clean First When My House is a Mess!

When I come home from work and find my house in total disorder, (yeah it happens to me living with three daughters), I always start in the kitchen. Now if you were a client of Annie's Cleaning we would start upstairs and work our way down; but being in the business, I always keep my bathrooms in order and the girls... well, they are on their own for their rooms, so in my own house I start on the first floor. The kitchen and family room is the messiest in my house. Dishes,clutter on the counters,blankets scattered on the couch,magazines, nail polish and what-not, just makes me want to scream when I walk in the backdoor.But, I take a deep breath and begin.I always empty the dishwasher, sweep the floor and put the clutter where it belongs, mostly in my girls' rooms. I then wipe the countertops and appliances,put dishes in dishwasher and always leave an empty sink.For me, having a clean kitchen and family room is most important because that's where we spend our time.I vacuum almost everyday because of our two dogs and spot wash the floor in-between major cleanings which I do once a week.I recommand you clean the rooms you spend the most time in and keep up with it. It's like shoveling sand against the tide in my house but I feel so much happier when things are clean, orderly and put in their place. No one ever sees my second floor so I tend to be a little less fussy.
Your house will not clean itself, it takes constant work and upkeep. Hire a cleaning company to come in once a week and you will never go back to your old ways. Having the whole house clean and shiny and just waiting for your arrival is worth every penny you spend!
