While you have no interest in being a Stepford Wife, sometimes it’s easier to keep up appearances than cop a guilt-load at the end of a hard day of procrastination.
You know the drill: you’ve been home all day, avoiding chores and other important stuff by hiding out on the Internet and eating chocolate. Now suddenly, you look at the clock and realise you have ten minutes until your other half gets home”� and discovers your slothful ways.
So, what should you do to maximise your use of those critical ten minutes? Here are some ideas!
1. Splash toilet cleaner in the bowl.
If it smells clean, your SO will think it’s been cleaned. And, if you give the loo a flush to get the Toilet Duck bowls happening, you’ll create a modesty screen for the skiddies you’ve been avoiding scrubbing all day, too.

I’m going to do all that right now 😉 lol another good one is to run around the house spraying air freshener….
Ohhhh I like that idea Aussie K!
Thais is pure awesomeness!
I love it too 🙂
If surfaces look clean it feels clean 😉
Definitely 🙂
pull the dona/quilt over all the beds, makes them look properly made and makes the whole bedroom look much tidier,
I agree with that tip bb3!
For those who use a dish rack, take some clean dishes out of the cupboard and put them out (with a splash of water on them) pretending that you washed them today. Can do the same with clothes. Put some previously clean clothes folded into piles on the couch- ready to be put away (again!). And for bonus points, leave the vacuum cleaner in the hall wall/lounge, somewhere obvious, so it looks like it ‘actually’ got used. “Honey, What have I done today?? I’ve washed and folded 3 loads of washing today, done the dishes, cleaned the toilet AND the bathroom (I like the bleach smell idea hehe), and vacuumed the WHOLE house!! What haven’t I done today?!” I like it 😉
Good one td!!! 🙂
Another good one is to spray Mr Sheen or another similar cleaning product near the front door so as soon as your OH walks in the smells hits them and they assume you’ve been cleaning around there 😀
Love it Anne-Marie!
I have a mixture of fabric softener and water in a spray bottle
You can use it on everything makes dirty clothes towels carpets curtains smell clean and if uve left you washing in the washing machine for a bit longer and it’s starting to smell hang them out then spray that into it it’s like freshly washed
That’s great Chrissy1!
