Clean House - more effect than you thought

I like a clean house. Although my house is almost never totally clean all at one time since by the time I've finished cleaning everything the first things I cleaned are most certainly at least slightly messed up again, but I do love those rare moments right before a big party or event when we do manage to get it all clean (maybe except for the closet we have stuffed the remainder of the odds and ends in). I generally use a method made popular by Marla Cilley at www.flylady.net . Marla uses a system that many of our Mothers and Grandmothers lived by. They had days with scheduled tasks (Monday laundry, Tuesday errands, etc.), as well as weeks of the month having a certain emphasis for deep cleaning. By following a plan like this you can make sure that things stay pretty well maintained.

I was surprised last weekend to read a research study that proports to have proof that a clean smelling space helps people make better moral choices. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/33522872/ns/health-behavior/ . Interesting.
