my house is a sh*t tip but where do i start?
 
I actually clean other peoples house for a living but my own house is complete and utter sh*t tip. Upstairs is worse than down (that's not too bad) I have 2 bedrooms and 1 box room which is where my computer is, all of the rooms are in a mess and cluttered with stuff, so drawers and wardrobes and stuff all need to be sorted out. My question is if your house was the same which room would you start in? would you start computer room as its the smallest? It has a desk with drawers which all need sorting out and also the airing cupboard with bedding etc in it. Or would you start with the main bedroom which has fitted wardrobes and a bookcase in plus 2 plastic sets of drawers. There are actually clothes all over the floor and magazine etc. Or would you start in the other bedroom which has a wardrobe full of crap which really, really needs to be sorted out, There are also some clothes on the floor in there and some shoes and a bed. HELP I don't know where to start. Im having my tea and watching some tv 1st so its going to be about 8pm when I start tonight though.

actually if I have my tea when watching the chase I could make a start @ 6pm for maybe an hour then have a break for the soaps.

I would start where ever you spend most time in

smudgie 25-09-2013 03:59 PM

Hard one this.

If I am having a really Lazy day, I tidy and hoover etc the front room, kitchen and cloakroom in case we get guests.

Start upstars with the bathroom,smallest room and can look good without too much effort.
Then attack the master bedroom, maybe decide to do a good clear out of one wardrobe or set of drawers at a time.

If you have kids then get thm to sort their own room out, just shu the door on it until they do.:hugesmile:

That's a hard one as I spend a lot of time in the computer room on the computer lol but I also spend a lot of time in my bedroom as I sleep in there and get dressed etc in there. Rules out the back bedroom though. I should do a poll lol

My bathroom in miniature I think they forgot to put one on and added it @ the last minute so that's ok, I normally have the loo etc ok. The smallest room is the computer room. No I don't have kids just dogs pity they cant tidy lol

Start with the bigger of those rooms then, get the harder one out of the way first

Oooh dear no hope for you then:hugesmile:


I used to love it, now it is just a chore.

Don't mind the big spring clean or Xmas clean though as it becomes a mission, but everyday cleaning is o be avoided at all cost:spin:

Niamh. 25-09-2013 04:10 PM

Also, stop procrastinating, you'd be nearly finished the computer room by all the time you wasted looking for advice :nono:

Marc 25-09-2013 04:10 PM

Procrastination in the best form :amazed:

mizzy25 25-09-2013 04:22 PM

You should use the OP on your leaflets for your cleaning business.

Cherie 25-09-2013 05:00 PM

lol

Mizzy choose one room, toss a coin if you must and stick at it even if it takes a week until it is done, then move on to the next. Not sure why you are sat watching the Chase when you could do up and at it:nono::joker:

Start by grabbing a bin bag and laundry basket and picking up everything from the floor, put magazines and stuff you don't need into the bin bag for throwing out and the clothes that are being kept into the laundry basket for washing, once the floor is tidied move onto thing likes drawers, bookcases , wardrobes etc.

If it's a right mess then do one room at a time and don't leave the room or sit down, check the pc etc until it's all done.

I would throw out anything I hadn't used in the last 6 months.

I can't be doing with clutter tbh, I can't even actually sit and watch tv or anything like that if there's any clutter or mess around me.
