Trying To Organize Your Housecleaning...
Yea, I know...the topic everyone hates to do. However, if you keep it very organized in your head, you can bang through it right quick! On a typical morning while the kids are getting ready for school, I run downstairs and run one load of laundry. Then I make up a weak bleach solution (1 tbsp to 1 gallon of water). I have a cutting from an old flannel pillow case to use with the bleach water. Immerse the cloth in the bleach solution and wipe down anything that gets touched in an average day: the kitchen chairs, tables, phones, door knobs, light switches, hand rails, computer keyboards and mice, bathroom counter, microwave panel, countertop, fridge/oven handles, kitchen/bathroom cabinet handles, bathroom counter and lastly the toilet. Be sure to do the toilet last, rinse cloth in cool water and place in the laundry using a new cloth the following day. Incidentally, be sure to rinse with a clean wet cloth any surfaces that you have bleached in use with food preparation (ie., countertops, kitchen table). This will allow you to keep viruses in check in the house and only takes about 10 minutes. Then, I empty the dishwasher that I ran before I went to bed. After that, I sweep all floors onto any available carpets. At this point, I kinda go through the house putting away clutter (because if you keep up with it every day, it puts away much quicker than if you were to wait once a week). About this time, I have to drive the kids to school. When I get home, I put that one load in the dryer, give hard furniture surfaces a quick dust (to keep up with son's allergies) with my cheapo swiffer duster, vacuum the carpets and upholstry (yea, I cheat with the upholstry - I have a canister vac and just vacuum the seating area of furniture.) After vacuuming, I make the beds, throw the dirty clothes down the basement stairs (which I sort in laundry baskets when I bring the clothes up from the dryer) and then I will take the remaining bleach water and give the floor a quick damp mop with it. There you have it...nice quick regiment, takes me maybe 1 hour every morning (as long as I do this every day...and no, I don't usually do this on weekends), and the house looks great!

Contributor's Note
I prefer to disinfect often as we have alot of people living in the house (between ages 2 and 49) and frequent disinfecting prevents viruses from spreading even if someone has one!
