Whether this means cleaning for a little while on the weekends or cleaning a couple of days after work, getting yourself into a habit of deep cleaning will really help. On other days, you should be doing your daily cleaning tasks. I do power hours where I pop music on and just get on with it, It helps.

Think Of Absolutely Everything
