I need help keeping my house clean
I recently bought my first home a few months ago. I’m having trouble cleaning it. It isn’t massive. It’s 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, 1800SQFT. I’m married, we have two kids (3 and 1) and a dog. I feel like I am constantly cleaning. From sun up to sun down. And it’s still dirty. Our last home, a rental, I’m embarrassed to say had cockroaches. I don’t know how. I cleaned every day. But I’d constantly find them. We called an exterminator. But they kept coming back. When we bought this house I vowed I’d keep it constantly clean and not let that happen again. I’m doing my best but it’s like I can’t keep up. My husband is constantly at work, from like 4am until the night, he’s military and works very hard and simply doesn’t have time to help me unless he didn’t sleep. My dog gets hair EVERYWHERE, there are just piles of it in the corners even though I vacuum twice a day. My kids get crumbs everywhere even though I’ve made them only eat in the kitchen. There’s constantly crumbs all over the floors. There’s always a sink full of dishes and I’m having to do two loads of dishes in the dishwasher a day. At least a load of laundry a day. I try to clean the floors daily. But it just feels like there’s always something dirty that needs to be cleaned. I find that at the end of the day when I’m done sanitizing the kitchen down and constantly sweeping and vacuuming all the other floors the bathrooms get neglected. I’m so exhausted I can’t keep up. Is there a trick to this? I’m terrified I’m going to get cockroaches again. Thanks.
