To quickly clean, so you can have more time to spend with your husband or wife, put things away as you finish using them. Don't leave your stuff lying around because it will just pile up and leave you with a big mess that will take a lot of time and require tons of patience and motivation to remove. This means that everything you have should have a place -- and the floor or counter do not count. In addition, as you use dishes, wash them and put them away, too. Since all this stuff will be in their place, you won't have to spend lots of time sorting through the piles and re-organizing things. And you can use the time you saved to cuddle with your spouse. That sounds like a lot more fun.
