How do you keep up with routine cleaning?

Working together with my partner. It’s never 50/50 and it never will be. Not that you shouldn’t always try for it. 60/40 is not so bad, even 80/20 sometimes will happen, even 80/70. But the time that something needs to change when it becomes 40/40, or 20/30. Because 100 is possible with one or two, doesn’t mean it only has to be you two and help is always possible. Whether it be from friends, relatives, or just a neighbor. Don’t be afraid to ask, but don’t lean on asking or it will be answered by a no, again and again.

Depends on what’s your challenge. I’ve paired it with other things. I don’t clean everything in one go. In the last to shower and I clean the bathroom as I finish (a quick wipe everyday, scrub the shower base today, the screens tomorrow, toilet the next…). I put out the trash in the evening and tidy the hallway as I come in. I have swiffers hidden everywhere 😉.
The kitchen is the hardest. My partner and I take turns every evening to “reset” the kitchen to clean and ready. In the weekends I food prep and put in a good hour into deeper kitchen cleaning.
That said… things fail… some weeks are clean, some weeks are just tidy and some are neither. It’s okay
