[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Messes are one of the primary things my H and I fight about.  He likes things really neat.  (I, on the other hand, like things really clean -- there's a difference. Like, he'll put away a dirty pot to avoid looking at it on the counter.  Yuck.)  I'd love to stop fighting about it.  We already have cleaners that come 2x a month, but they don't put anything away or anything -- so it actually causes more stress because we all have to clean for the cleaners to come.
For those that keep recommending a daily housekeeper, how does that work?  is there really someone that will come and just spend 1/2 hour or an hour a day putting everything away where it belongs and doing general clean-up?  I would do that, but I always figured it isn't worth it unless you live in a mansion that takes hours and hours to clean.

[b]How does it take you 30 minutes to tidy things up?[/b] Barring chores like loading/unloading the dishwasher, laundry, and mopping/vacuuming, you should not be spending 30 minutes putting things away every day. I have little kids and tidying up everything, including toys, paints, dress-up costumes, etc, takes MAYBE 5-10 minutes maximum, and I'm not a naturally tidy person (ugh, DH is). I'm baffled, not trying to be snarky. [b]Do you just have a lot of stuff?[/b]
