    If you’re cleaning the toilet and doing laundry regularly you’re already ahead of a lot of men. As long as you have a clean way to prep food and no health hazards in the environment the rest is bonus points as far as I’m concerned. Yeah, there’s an unfolded bag of laundry in my room and clutter on the coffee table; I live here.

      There was a time that I had my slut-era post divorce and was seeing several different people. At one point, I was over at 3 different men’s houses over the course of a couple days and not a single one of them had handsoap anywhere in their house. I had a laugh ngl.

      But also maybe give the shower a scrub once in a while along with the toilet, yeah?

        Did you look in their showers? There’s perfectly good shampoo you can use for that /s

      I like to cook and preserve food, so my kitchen is clean. Also keep up on the dishes and do the kitchen floor twice a week. If I leave clean laundry around that’s where the dogs want to curl up and nap.

        Honestly, keeping the kitchen and the bathroom relatively clean is the key. Everything else can get cluttered until you have the energy and time! You’re doing great :)

    The biggest life upgrade for pets in the house is a robot vacuum. I’ve had one model or another for longer than I’ve had dogs and while it obviously isn’t the same as a good sweep and mop, running the robot vacuum daily is a huge improvement.

    Shout out to the Valetudo project for helping people to take their robot vacuum out of the cloud.

      That is awesome thank you for sharing. I just took mine off the WiFi and hit the button when I want it to go but would be nice to be able to use all the other functions.

    Pets make life so fucking hard to keep clean, don’t punish yourself for it.

    I’ve been tackling my house over several weeks by picking a different corner of the place and deep cleaning each day (though not every day). I spend about an hour on each area and it feels way less overwhelming than thinking I have to get an entire room or my entire place clean.

      That’s a good tip there. Focus on one small part of the job you can get done without stressing out about the bits you didn’t finish.
