[quote=Anonymous] 1) Don't make a mess to begin with (ex. leaving toothbrush in the sink after brushing, dirty towels on the floor). 2) Clean as you go (ex. wipe down counter tops each use; put dirty dishes directly into dishwasher after rinsing; dirty clothes get dumped directly into washing machine). 3) Create an environment that's easy to keep clean (e.g. no over abundance of toys; easily-accessible crates for toy storage). 4) Everyone participates (ex. my 2yo knows to put all of his bath toys in the wall frog container at the end of each bath). 5) Fit in small tasks throughout the week. For example: I'll vacuum the small carpet (5x7) in the living room if I see my toddler's getting cranky. It's a distraction that's useful. While he's busy in the tub, I may wipe down the bathroom. I mean, I have to be there anyway! I'll sweep the room if the kids are engulfed in some tv program. Etc. [/quote]
