Pet hair can be hard to control, especially on furniture. Here are a couple of ideas for fast clean up:

• Ball up an old pair of pantyhose and rub them all over your furniture – they’re really great at picking up pet hair.

• Buy a cheap lint roller (the kind with sticky tape) and roll it over the furniture.

Who would have thought a house-cleaning tip would mean doing a dance? If your floor needs a good mopping but you don’t have time, simply wet two towels, put one under each foot, and “shuffle” them across the room. You’ll find this quite effective as well as fun.

With housework, there will always be something else to clean and organize. It’s important to know when to quit. When wiping down a cupboard door, resist the temptation to pull everything out of that cupboard and reorganize; save that for another day.
