Default Re: How often to you have to clean to keep your house clean?

My 3 year old and 2 year old are responsible for 80% of their own clean up toywise.

I decluttered dramatically, and I limit the number out at any given time (one bucket or twoish single toys) generally there is only about 2 minutes of my clean up needed, or 15 of theirs. (notice I clean up quite a bit faster!)

The only toy we still have difficulty with is duplos, in 30 minutes they can get a couple hundred out and that seems to be difficult for them to focus on clean up still, but we are working on it.

Also some things are more fun to clean up for (like art) than others (like nap) so I aim to clean up accordingly.
