Good Morning bloghoppers! Welcome to iDreamofClean!

clean,cleaning,mom

A little bit about me.

I’m a wife. I’m a mom. And I don’t like to clean!

That’s right. I don’t like to clean!

But, I DO like cleanliness!

That’s why I’ve made it my mission to find the best tips and tricks to make the inevitable task of cleaning easier. If there’s a solution or product that can make cleaning a bit more bearable, I’m going to share it with you.

A little bit about the blog.

This journey began 4 1/2 months ago and it’s been a wild ride ever since! Apparently there are moms everywhere who need a little encouragement and help when it comes to cleaning. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could just all hire professionals? Well, the next best thing is to have a cleaning schedule and implement the tips and tricks you learn to make the job easier, so we’ll be releasing some schedules very soon! Until then, I’ll share with you some of the most popular posts so far:

You are the reason for this blog. If you have a tip or trick that would be beneficial to others, please contact me about guest posting. Or, you can always share your knowledge in the comments. I try my best to respond to questions so please feel free to ask!

Let me know a little bit about you today…who you are, where (or if) you blog, and do you like to clean?

I’d love for you to stick around, subscribe via RSS or email, and connect on facebook or Twitter. Let’s get to know one another!

I’m a wife. I’m a mom. And I don’t like to clean! With a house full of boys, though, cleaning is inevitable. That's why I've made it my mission to find the best organizing and cleaning tips. Hopefully, those tips will help us spend less time cleaning and more time with the ones we love.

I dream of clean also and yet dislike the activity of actually cleaning. I’d much rather crawl around and play with the toys with my boys. :-)

I’m enjoying this blog hop and finding such great blogs as yours that fit me so perfectly! Thanks for sharing!! Thanks for stopping my blog also!!

I hate cleaning! I like to be able to check off something completely on my to do list. It seems like I can always clean something more often or more completely. So because of my OCD nature, that is hard to do. I need to go for a walk before it gets too hot, but want to read your ideas! One of the best things I can do is get it done early, so I can quit dreading the task, but I still struggle with that, too. Sorry I sound discouraged! However, part of my problem may be laziness, too, and wanting to do just what I enjoy-like be on my computer!! :-) Thanks for your honesty and help!

Ha! I completely understand about just wanting to be on the computer :-) One thing that helps me the most is to set a time to clean…even if it’s only 5 minutes. I can do anything for 5 minutes!!

Stopping by from the Blog Hop! This is definitely a blog I need to bookmark. I don’t like to clean and it’s hard to find the time, but I don’t function well when it’s messy!

Thanks for stopping by!! As much as I don’t mind messy, I’ve found that I function much better in a clean environment too.

Going back to work will definitely be an adjustment!!! At least you won’t be home as much to make a mess! Wonder if that will make a difference? :-)

I am SO with you on not liking to clean! BUT my mom (and her mom) are clean-freaks and have set the bar very high. Alas, I need to clean out of sheer peer-pressure. I try to do it when I’m upset as it’s a great way to relieve stress. :) I look forward to reading more of your blog, it’s nice to meet you!

I actually like cleaning the kitchen. Anything else I don’t do so well. But I wouldn’t mind doing dishes all day if I had to!

Nice to meet you!

My blog: http://jascherff.blogspot.com/ I actually reviewed a book, The Naturally clean home on there not long ago! I have to admit that I do like cleaning. I find it very theraputic and rewarding. Best part though: the end result!! Great website. Found you via the blog hop!

I just found your blog at the Bloghop, and wanted to come over and say HI! I’m in the middle of decluttering my house right now, and excited about simplifying things and starting some new cleaning routines. Honestly, I’m just struggling to get the daily chores completed….forget about any “deep” cleaning. I’m subscribing to your blog, and looking forward to reading more of your cleaning and organizing tips!

Hm, I’m afraid I need your blog. I hate to clean. I hate messy. I am messy. It’s always frustrating. I know I need a cleaning schedule. Baby steps, right? I think that’s the next step- schedules: cleaning and a meal plan.
Ok, well, it’s great to meet you!
Here’s my blog hop post: This Blog O’ Mine

Hi,
Hopping by… I actually like to clean, especially if I am stressed. I am lucky; I have someone that also comes into clean for me every other week. However, despite that, I usually vacuum a day or so before she arrives…. I once wrote about it…
