And check out these cleaning hacks from some of the internet’s funniest moms:

Pour water on the floor. Give kids towels. Voila! Clean floor. –Jen Simon, Writer

Make your kids do it all.  Use chores as consequences. This was my BEST mom shortcut idea yet. Anytime one of my kids gets in trouble, I simply add another chore to their chore list. I ran out of ‘currency’ a while back and thought oh yeah… that’ll do. It’s not perfect, and the house will never be spotless but I’m lazy, so it’s good enough. -Christine, The Mom Cafe

I use my wet towel that I used on my hair after a shower to “dust” the dressers in my bedroom and wipe out the bathroom sink. -Sara, Motherfluff

When in doubt, throw it out. These days, our house looks pretty bare. In the play area, we only have books and a box with building blocks. That’s about it. Cleaning still isn’t fun, but at least it’s not so frustrating anymore. When we get overwhelmed again, we give or throw away more things. Because the truth is, the less stuff you have, the faster you’ll be done putting it all away. -Olga, The European Mama

Insisting you meet company outside at the park, especially on a gorgeous summer day, so you don’t have to worry about cleaning or laundry piles. -Eileen, Autism with a Side of Fries
