The Toughest Room to Keep Clean & Organized
FamilyHost_Cheryl - September 12, 2009
I thought it'd be interesting to see which room give us the most grief in keeping it organized and clean. For me it is my bedroom. It becomes a magnet for clutter. All the other rooms in the house stay under control pretty well, but not my bedroom. What room is it for you and why?

For me it is the extra bedroom we have since my oldest moved out. For some reason my family thinks it is a storage room! I go in about once a month and clean it out but it never lasts long!

No cleaning ever seems to last long enough, does it?

My basement playroom is so very hard to keep clean. I think a big problem is the kids have way too many toys. No matter how much I try and remind them to clean up one toy before playing with another it just never happens. I'm just glad it's in the basement, that way when company comes over I don't have to worry about cleaning it I just close the door!

I have a spare bedroom that has become the 'catch-all' room. It needs several hours of moving stuff to the garage, cleaning it thoroughly, and it could actually use a coat of paint. I know it needs attention, I'm just an expert procrastinator.

For us, it's our living room and master bedroom. My husband is the really messy one and the couch is his "catch-all". He comes home from work, sits down and everything from his pockets gets dumped onto the couch next to him. Then he takes his shoes & socks off and they stay on the floor in front of him. That's where it stays until I clean it. I work 2 jobs so I don't get home until late in the evening. Every Saturday, I clean the house (living room, kitchen, bathroom and wash clothes). I've given him a little basket to put all the stuff in his pockets into, as well as a key rack to hang his keys on when he gets home (because he's always losing them) and a laundry hamper. He doesn't use any of these! As for my master bedroom, I don't always get to it on the weekend because I'm always tired from cleaning the rest of the house and it's so easy to close the bedroom door so guests don't see the mess in there. :-)

The spare bedroom, because its the catch-all place, and it accumulates so quickly.
