[quote=Anonymous] -keep an open basket style hamper in kids room. a three year old should be able to take off their clothes at night and drop them right in the hamper. But if it's down the hall or has a lid, forget it, it won't happen. Same for toy storage. Open bins look slightly less clean but are way easier for cleanup. -second the 10 things cleanup or 5 minute family clean. -robot vacuum has been LIFE CHANGING for us. Expensive but so worth it. I hate vacuuming and never got the damn thing out. We keep a small hand-held vacuum on the counter for small messes and run the robot vacuum downstairs almost every night. Little kids enjoying running away from the vacuum--make it a game that they have to get EVERYTHING off the floor and put away, otherwise the monster vacuum will eat it up! (you can also put googly eyes or other decoration on your vac to encourage this "game" -get rid of stuff. We had friends who lived in an apartment half the size of ours but it always looked immaculate. It was because they kept very little by way of toys and clothes. [/quote]
