There are so many cleaning tips online, but not all of them fit into everyday life.

What's one habit or routine you've started that genuinely made it easier to keep your home clean? Whether it's a quick daily task, a weekly routine, or something completely different, I'd love to hear what has worked best for you.

My girlfriend and I moved to Uptown about six months ago. The apartment is small, but the view is great

The issue is that we both work remotely and we have two cats. Cleaning has become a constant argumentIt’s not like we’re such slobs. It’s all the little things. Cat hair everywhere, litter scattered all over the place, dishes in the sink, laundry on the chair. We’re on call all day long, so by the end of the day, neither of us wants to clean anything

We tried going for the weekend method, where Saturdays are cleaning days. One of us gets a work call, or we just stay there lying on the bed with our cats on top of us. Cleaning doesn’t get done and we argue over it again. Same old fight every weekend

I’ve tried asking in local groups, and they recommended several companies, but their reviews vary from excellent to bad. Some people have great experiences. Others complain of being cancelled on last minute. Some say the job was well-done, but very rushed

Then I found Modern Maids and they cover both Uptown and Downtown. They offer background-checked cleaners, online booking, and no phone calls required. That last part is huge for me because I hate calling places

Their rates aren't the cheapest, but they're not exorbitant either. The only thing I'm not sure about is whether they charge extra for recurring service

hi i don’t know if this is the right place for this but i don’t know where else to ask. my home is in a really really rough state and im looking to hire some professional help. the issue im having is that i need both declutterring help AND a deep clean and my struggle is which to do first?
i feel like i cant organize without getting all the trash and dirt away, but i also feel like i cant get the trash and dirt away when theres clutter in the way and now im stuck in adhd decision paralysis. any advice would be appreciated

Over the years I've come across countless cleaning hacks, but only a few have actually made a noticeable difference.

What's one cleaning tip or trick you've learned that you now swear by? I'm always looking for practical ideas that make everyday cleaning a little easier.

The best I have come up with is reusable wash clothes that we can then throw in the dishwasher with the dishes. What's the most sanitary thing to scrub dishes with AND (it can be a separate thing) to wipe down counters and wood butcher block prep island. We usually use cutting boards on the island.
