JACKSON, Wyo. — As we roll into the holiday season, finding time to clean the house can be a struggle. This year seems especially hard because our homes now double as offices, classrooms, and gyms.

This month, instead of stressing about how you are going to get it all done, hire the pros at O2 Cleaning. If you can manage to sneak away for a few hours to hunt for a Christmas tree, go sledding, or ski, you can arrive back home to zero clutter and a sparkling clean house.

If you can’t get the pros in, here are a few tips to make your house look spotless with minimal amount of effort:

  • Have the kids pitch in. Seriously. They actually enjoy helping and if there is a reward in store for them afterward, even better.
  • Play a card game with your roommates and keep a running tally. Whoever loses should take a turn cleaning that grimy bathroom. Fair and square.
  • Buy a few of those reusable rags at the grocery store, wet with just a drop of dish soap and warm water, quickly wipe down all surfaces in your house (including your walls and banisters) and voila – you’ve just bought yourself some time until you need to deep clean.
  • Don’t attempt to vacuum the entire house all in one day. Instead, vacuum one room per day of the week. And don’t feel bad about leaving the vacuum out all week.
  • Let it go. If it means mopping the floors or getting some fresh air, the fresh air should win.

Take care of yourselves. Do what makes you happy. Enjoy some downtime with your loved ones, your roommates, your pets. A great gift this holiday season is the gift of time.
