I confess: I need advice, women who keep really clean houses?

What's your best daily routine or weekly routine, my house keeps messy very quickly, I obviously need a better strategy  than letting it all get dirty and then having to clean for hours to get it back to tidy ><

I love all these tips. I must confess, my walls and windows are not dirty. I'm surprised at how many people wipe them down daily (or maybe it was one person and it seemed like a lot...lol).  I am also surprised at how many take their trash out daily.  Do you empty it if it's not full?  My trash is barely full at week's end, it would seem like such a waste to empty it daily.

I do dishes after every meal. I tidy up when my DD is napping, and once she's asleep. I vacuum daily & wash the floors every second day. I clean the bathrooms every second day and laundry gets done on Fridays.
As for dusting, windows, and such I do those either Saturday or Sunday.

okay so im a bit ocd about things being clean. i take it to a whole new level..literally i get anxious if things are out of place. but i must say some of my habits are pretty great. i keep my house clean by pretty much just picking up throughout the day. say i drink a glass of milk. i spill some on the counter. i immediatly wipe down the counter and put the glass in the dishwasher when im done. if the dish washer is done i empty it right then and there. i vaccuum daily and then i pick one day out of the week and do the big things. sweep. mop. clean toilets. ect. takes me 30 min tops especially since i always keep things pretty tidy. so when you walk in and take off your shoes.. just go ahead and put them away. just gotta learn to break habits like leaving things out.

3.  but I cleaned is 2x a day even when I only had one.  Thats why my house doesnt smell the slightest bit like cats, even theough the box is in the living room.  

Quoting I.heart.my.kids:

wow how many cats do you have.

Quoting supermomma21:

I pick up every day. The dishes/kitchen get done every night, and the trash goes out every day. Litter box gets cleaned 2x a day.
