I totally understand.
Cleaning Your House
Toys- Organize into boxes and put under bed,table, in playroom
Paper- Sort through the ones you need and put the rest in the trash
Clothes- I usually just throw all clothes that I find left all over the place i n the wash. They’re usually, dusty, furry, and smelly.
Shoes- Get 2 boxes for each room.One for everyday shoes and one for slippers or boots.
Carpet/Curtains/Fabric- spray with FeBreeze or fabric freshner
Sticky Surfaces- Scrub with cleaning spray and polish with appropriate product
If you need any more help- just contact me!

A few simple rules I live by as a self-diagnosed clean/neat freak are:
1. Find a place for everything. When you want to buy something at the store, can you visualize where it will go? (Obviously not discussing food here, but kids toys, shoes, etc). For me, if I really want it and don’t have a justifiable reason to buy it, I make a deal by getting rid of something similar to replace with the new item….such as another cute pair of black flats, picture frame, or pair of jeans.
2. When it comes to actually cleaning your bathroom, kitchen, floors, etc. work from the top down. Dust all surfaces, wipe away cob webs from ceiling corners and off fans, then work your way down past counter-tops and surfaces to the floor. Finish with vacuuming/mopping/polishing.
3. Baking Soda. I’m not sure why this non-toxic, CHEAP alternative is not discussed more often as an awesome cleaning product. It is biodegradable, earth-friendly, non-toxic for you, kids, pets, and is an amazing degreaser/cleaner. It is the only way I clean my oven by spritzing it with a spray bottle of water, enough to get the soda to stick in as much as 1/2 an inch of the stuff, let it sit even overnight and simply wipe away. In your oven alone, you’ll be amazed by how much it soaks up! Of course, be careful on certain surfaces for it can be abrasive.
Basically just starting is your biggest hurdle. The trash got their piece by piece. So , if you start picking it up and putting it where it belongs(it is not gonna get there by magic) you are making headway. Just don’t expect it to be done in a day.
