The Hubster’s Man Clean Tips:
1) Listen to music or a book on tape when cleaning: The Hubster enjoys listening to books on tape and finds that it makes the time pass quicker and keeps him focused.
2) One room at a time: By focusing on one room at a time to clean you are ensuring that a thorough job is done. By mapping out everything you need to clean in a room before you start also makes sure that the room is impeccable clean before moving on to the next room.
3) Clean when no one else is home/around: It’s very easy to distracted when cleaning. By sending out your distractions aka kids, wife, pets you are ensuring that there isn’t much around to pull you away from cleaning!

I do one room a day this way its easier
I find that putting music on while cleaning makes it go by much faster!
I think that cleaning one area completely before moving on to the next is my only cleaning tip lol
Vinegar to get a shine on your floors! (Suzi)
My best cleaning tip is to make sure you do some everyday to stay on top of it.

bribe the kids 🙂
I start at one end of a room and clean across it systematically. It keeps me more focused on the,task at hand.
Make a cleaning list and follow it!
I like to listen to music while I clean!
I put music on and make a list, I love checking off each item as I complete them!
Pick up daily, then it doesn’t seem like such a big task.
Focus on one area at a time! Do not attempt to take on more than you can
have all your cleaning supplies on hand,get the family to help.
My best cleaning tip would be to get everyone involved and do a little bit of cleaning each day.
Jeannie lam
get someone else to do it :), no I would say try to pick up after youself when you can ,and then try to do one room a day
Do a little bit of cleaning everyday and then it doesn’t pile up
Pick up the little things or they will become a big pile
Stick to your to do list and do not get distracted from finishing your list!
Make sure you are picking up after yourselves, makes the big cleans quick
Clean up as you go.
Clean a mess as soon as it happens
Get a routine going!
Clean up in small sections
Clean one room at a time. Listen to music to make it more of a fun thing to do. 🙂

Do short regular tidies instead of long drawn out ones. We call a 10 minute tidy where everyone helps pick up and do a bit to clean up.
The best tip is just to not let things pile up.
pick up daily and put away. When cleaning do one room at a time and wash floors with a rag to get all areas properly
Focus on one area at a time!
I say baby steps if you are behind on routine cleaning. I try to focus on one room a week or a “zone”
clean up through out the day
Have a goal and stick with it
Start small, have music and a bottle of wine for a reward
I prefer to pick a day and do it all as opposed to little bits each day. I think routine is important-pick a day or time and be consistent or its too easy to put it off.
I clean one area at a time so it doesn’t become overwhelming.
Vinegar…i use that on everything, and buy it by that gallon…use equal parts vinegar and water.
Do small chores nightly and big ones on Sat morning 🙂
do daily cleaning,so things don`t get too messy
Pick up daily and put items away so when you go to clean you don’t have to spend time first putting everything away where it belongs.

LOL! I was scanning the comments hoping for some magic tip that would help me. I found it.
Start small, one room at a time.
Make a cleaning list. It is easier to get done when you are organized.
when cleaning windows use newspaper instead of paper towels or a cloth. Less streaking and nothing stuck on windows afterwords
I try and have one cleaning chore per day (aside from the usual dishes etc) So wether it is a floor or a set of windows or the shower stall, that way it all gets done regularily but I dont have to do monster big cleans all at once
Don’t try and do everything at once. Have certain chores for certain days!
Put things away after you are done with them
Well, I would say get a maid. But, since I can’t afford one, use products that can save you time, like Swiffer. I love Swiffer products.
My best cleaning tip is to separate laundry into proper colors
Do a little at a time so as not to be overwhelmed
start at one end of the house
I use newspapers and windex to clean glass.
One room at a time
My tips is to keep Clorox Wipes in the bathroom and kitchen, they are great for quick cleaning touch ups.
I do a bit every day.
Clean one room at a time
keep it clutter free!
Do a little bit each day so it doesn’t build up.
Start from one corner.
Clean as you go – daily.
