____ 1. Shake out any entryway rugs. Rugs placed at doorways can hold a lot of dirt that gets tracked in from outside. If they're not too heavy, take these rugs outdoors and give them a really good shake. If it's too cumbersome to shake them outside, vacuum them well. The less dirt on them, the less dirt that will get tracked inside your home.

____ 2. Match up your plastic storage containers: When you purchase plastic storage containers, they come with one lid and one base. For space saving purposes, the containers often get 'nested' (one inside the other), and the lids often get separated from their mates. Take some time this week to match up the pieces, making sure every base has a corresponding lid. There is no reason to have a lid without a base, or vice versa, so recycle any pieces that no longer have a mate. This is a good time, as well, to weed out your storage container collection if it's overflowing.

____ 3. Clean out your freezer: Although freezing food does make it last longer, it's not going to keep your food fresh forever. Packages that have been opened and then put back in the freezer are especially prone to freezer-burn and can even absorb odors. Toss out anything showing signs of damage or that has been on ice for an overly long period of time. Then, make a point to only buy frozen items that you know you will be using in the not too distant future.

At the end of the day or on the weekend, the last thing that you want to do is clean your house, right?! It's definitely not what I want to be doing. After all my hard work, I want my nights and weekends to myself...for family and fun stuff. In light of this, I searched for and found a wonderful resource that helped me..and can help YOU get your house as clean as you want it to be, without taking up all of your time in the process.

The difference is that it helps you to clean smart instead of cleaning long and hard. You'll have the clean home you've always wanted, AND you'll have tons of time to enjoy life.
