OT-Fly Lady

This is off topic but was wondering if anyone here uses the FlyLady way of cleaning? My sister swears by it. Basically it is a way of decluttering, cleaning and maintaining a clean home.

Anyone here do it and how does it work for you?

I just discovered that site two weeks ago. So far, I really like it! My housekeeping standards had (necessarily) deteriorated after DS was born, so I was eager to figure out ways to keep up. This has been working well for me. Basically, a few quick things as part of your morning and evening routines, 15 minutes per day of "deep cleaning" something, and one hour one day per week of vacuuming, mopping, and stuff. My house has been looking awfully darn clean for a couple of weeks. And I've taken a couple loads of "clutter" to the Goodwill truck. It's all rather freeing!

I knew I had to stop when one night - after my regular sink polishing - dh poured himself a glass of water and I LOST it and freaked out.


It brought the OCD out in me!!! LOL, so I stopped.

I know one woman who swears by it. I have seen the difference in her and her house. Yet another friends says it is way over for her. Give it a try and see what you think.
