Be Ready for Quick Clean-ups

There are likely some places in the home that are more prone to messes than others where you may want to be prepared for quick clean-ups.  The kitchen is an obvious one, but your bathroom is another one place that has frequent spills and messes especially if you have little ones.  If you have pets or frequent company, the most-used entrance might be the place that constantly where messes happen often.  If you have a wee one, it may be where they feed or play, or where they get their diapers changed.

Think of places in your home that spills and messes happen most often.  And when that inevitably happens are you running to your an upstairs closet or the laundry room to get the supplies?  What shoud take 30 seconds to mop up could take 5 minutes or more as you hunt for products around the house, clean up the mess that has since spread to 3 rooms because of a toddler or pet trampling through it, and then return them to there rightful place.  

Try keeping the most common cleaning supplies in the areas that are prone to these messes and spills.  You don't need to stock each space with every cleaning product you'll ever need; just the most common one or two that would be effective at cleaning that area's most common spills.  That mess will invariably happen.  Next time you will be prepared.

DONE Project (DO it Now, Everyone!):  Make sure those little messes can stay little messes instead of becoming an inconvenient ordeal!  Get those most regularly used products into those spaces today.  I doubt it will be long before you are glad you did.
