.Hoover, light dusting once a week.
Windows - once in the summer.
Dishes - do em while waiting for the kettle to boil - or when waiting for whatever so you don't waste time.

Re: Please help get me organised! :)
Mondays are my designated 'housework' days and I have a six week rotation plan.For example:
Week one - Sitting Room completely 'bottomed', curtains washed, windows cleaned, all furniture polished etc., - everywhere else has a general tidy up.
Week two - Kitchen - windows cleaned, cupboards/shelves emptied and
washed, washing machine/fridge/cooker pulled out and cleaned behind - everywhere else has a general tidy up.
and so on. It means everywhere has a thorough clean every six weeks without it becoming a major task.

I have my backup plan and it involves my sister. She is damn good at housework. I try to strike a deal with her such as I will fix her computer or whatever in exchange for a good house clean.See - Barter WIKI ...

Can you use a Karcher indoors (for windows)? I hadn't realised that.
Any more please?

Re: Please help get me organised! :)
I find that watching an episode of a programme like 'hoarders' or similar gives me such an incentive to clean.Seriously though like many have said little and often, do the bathroom, sink, toilet, shower every day and it never gets too bad and is much easier to clean, plus you don't get a build up of limescale.
I tend to do a bit of hoovering every day also as I hate 'bits' on the floor and I keep the top of the cooker clean, wiping up any spills straight away which again saves a 'big' clean.
The Karcher is good for windows.
