Zapping Red-Wine Stains
"A dab of foaming shaving cream can help remove many red-wine spills from carpets."
Washing the Tub
'When it's time to clean my shower, I strip naked, hop in, and scrub, using any harsh cleansers with caution. When I'm finished, I step out and rinse it down, then take a shower myself to admire my handiwork."
Recruiting Help
"My sister and I help clean each other's houses. It's great to share the workload with someone who uses the same cleaning techniques, and it cuts the job in half."
Picking Up
"I leave a basket at the foot of the stairs and toss in any toys or miscellaneous items that were brought downstairs during the day. Whenever I go upstairs, I take the basket with me and unload. It beats running up and down the stairs all day."
Using Outside Services
"If you have an insurmountable pile of laundry that you can't bear to do yourself, find a Laundromat with wash-and-fold service. I pay by the pound, so it costs only a few dollars per load. And I can pick up my clothes the next day."
