No, 4 year olds are not too young to help. My 2 (almost 3) year old LOVES to “help,” and while it may be more trouble than it’s worth, teaching her now to help is what’s important.

FlyLady has a rule to keep your sink shiny. I find that if my sink is shiny, then I want my kitchen “shiny,” too. If my kitchen is shiny and I fix dinner, then I want my table to be clear and shiny so we can eat on it. And then I want my table cleared of dirty dishes, so we put them on the sink, which has to be “shiny.” It’s a nice cycle to get caught up in.

Hugs,
Melinda

Silly question alert!!
I have tried to clean my floors on my hands and knees but just seem to make a bigger mess. Can you give tips on cleaning your floors by hand, please!
Maybe I should make this question anonymous?? No, Im going to be brave and put it all out there! LOL

Ooh, clean potties top to bottom. Less dirty up top and the cleanser drips down (evil gravity).

And wherever you are, don’t forget to clean light switches and door knobs. Those get SUPER germy.

Great post!! I always get overwhelmed at the thought of cleaning the whole house. It’s not that I don’t know “how” to clean it’s that I need a plan and your advice gives me just that.

I don’t know if Kix Brooks has a nasty bathroom, but apparently Martina McBride might…
