​for an overall clean look in your house take out the trash. nothing is more telling than an overflowing trash can or trash littered around the floor. quickly sweep through the house with a large garbage bag and quickly pick up the trash and empty the trash cans from the kitchen and the rooms and take out to the outdoor trash.
do a 10-minute pick up. ​take 10 minutes and go around the house with a basket. pick up everything and set it in the basket and put it away from room to room. anything left in the basket after 10 minutes can be set aside or put away if time
