*************************
What is "swish and swipe"?
It's a quick clean of the bathroom. Just swish the toilet and swipe the counters. This is not a deep clean!
What is a "daily focus"?
I follow Flylady' s pretty close, but made a few changes.

What is a "Weekly Home Blessing"?
Basically it's the things you only need to do once a week. For me, it's...
1. Water plants
2. Clean the dog bowls and beds
3. Set up meds for the week
4. Vacuum livingroom
5. Sweep and mop
6. Dust
7. Sweep entry and deck
8. Clean out fridge
9. Take out all trash and wash cans

What is a "Hot Spot"?
You know, that spot where things pile up? If you don't handle it now, next thing you know it's out of control like a wild fire!
What is "zone work"?
It's the deep cleaning broken down into small tasks throughout the week. Flylady works on one zone each week. I have a detailed list of things to do.
Here's my zones:
Zone 1 - the entry, deck, laundry room
Zone 2 - kitchen
Zone 3 - bathrooms
Zone 4 - bedrooms
Zone 5 - living room, dining room
If you have any questions about how I do any of this, just ask. I'd be glad to share.
