Beyond Spring Cleaning, your home can be clean year round. The biggest cleaning tip we can give is get organized. There are many good books on the market. We recommend Julie Morgenstern's Organizing from the Inside Out.
- Organization Plans give you the control of your personal time, and set your course to maintain a utopian home environment
- Multi-task plans include errand trips with several stops, operate appliances like dishwasher, washing machines and dryers while you do something else.
- Delegation plans help you appear like a Superhuman. Requiring children to help in the maintenance of a household teaches them that they are an integral part of the family unit.
When cleaning, begin by gathering all of the needed supplies and carry them with you.
Last, but not least, take care of yourself. Most people work long hours only to come home to domestic chores. A Personal Elf's main purpose is to give you back your life. When you trust the care of your home and errands to A Personal Elf, you free to enjoy your leisure time, your family and the quality of life you deserve.
Maintain a master list and calendar for all members of the household. Everyone knows where everyone should be and what he or she will be doing at any given time.
Adhere to the old adage, "A place for everything, and everything in its place." In today's lifestyles, we have more to our disposal and therefore much more to keep up with.
Create a map for cleaning, so that there is no backtracking. Begin at the far end of the house, moving toward the front. In each room, begin from the top and clean going down
.

Ongoing grocery lists. Errand lists. "To do" lists. Keep lists and use them. They can be a key in your organization.
Don't stack clothing or mail and wait to go through it again to sort. Decide where it goes and put it there now.
