Coming Clean 2

Until someone out there introduces a universally free household cleaning service, most of us will continue to tackle the less-than-thrilling task of cleaning our own homes each week.

Still, you can make this routine task more pleasant, and shave precious moments off your overall cleaning time in the process. 

Start cleaning in the lightly soiled bedrooms, dining room, and living room. After you've completed those areas - and with a sense of accomplishment - work your way into the more challenging kitchen and bathroom.
