Tidying Versus Cleaning<\/strong><\/h2>\nKnow the difference between tidying and cleaning.\u00a0 You can tidy as you go, day to day or room to room.\u00a0 Before bed every night or whenever you are finished using a room, quickly tidy everything up, pick up any trash or used cups, fold the blankets and leave it as you found it.\u00a0 The room will be ready to go the next time you use it.\u00a0 Tidying can also make your house look cleaner automatically.\u00a0 Even if your floors are in desperate need of a mop, the room and house will look cleaner if everything is straightened and neat.\u00a0 It buys you some more time until you can get out all your cleaning supplies.<\/p>\n
