If you do it every week, it doesn't add up, and its that much easier to do.

I think I'm going to give myself a bracha that one day I will live in a house big enough for me to find it overwhelming to clean the floors

Amen! But be careful what you wish for! I'm exhausted. And trust me, my house isn't exactly a McMansion. It's pretty small (most people here make extensions). I'm happy to see that a lot of people doing the Cure aren't done with their floors and are still working on them today. I think it's really only doable to do all your floors in one day (since frummies don't have Saturday) if your floors are clean to begin with, or if you're in an apartment. That's the feeling I get from reading the Apartment Therapy comments, at least.

It takes much less time when you do it frequently because you're doing mostly maintenance cleaning rather than deep cleaning.
I also do a lot of "clean as you go" and try to minimize messes in the first place.
I'm also big on decluttering. It's much harder to really clean when the floors and surfaces are cluttered.
I make sure everything has a place. So when I'm picking things up off the floor to sweep/mop, I don't have to think about where to put anything. It just goes right back in it's place.
I probably don't spend more than an hour on cleaning each day. Some days more, some days less.

I dusted the end tables and moved the plants into the kitchen and sprayed them with my sink sprayer. They're drying now. My children are driving me absolutely nuts though. Bedtime cannot come soon enough. Will tackle the rest of the downstairs when they're in bed IYH. |
That's fantastic! Congrats!
