I hate when they surprise us and something is out of place.... even though they have the dirtiest house ever. Ugh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463602 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 00:58:03 +0000 HLK208 463602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally! We've had showings 2-3 times a week since our house is for sale and my house has never looked better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463569 Mon, 24 Dec 2012 00:07:32 +0000 fussygal 463569@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so true! Everyone always says "oh, you're house is always so clean!" If only they knew what it looked like 2 hours before that... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463534 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:23:29 +0000 Bao 463534@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha yeah I'm good at doing a quick run through clean too, and you would never know I didn't spend all day on it ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463520 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 23:00:20 +0000 erwoo 463520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: We taught Nicholas how to clean up his toys shortly after he started walking (11 months). Probably one of the best things we've taught him, so far. He used to LOVE helping us clean up. Now-a-days, he only cleans up when he wants to do something or wants something. I'll take that. At least our floors are cleared by the time we go to bed at night. Haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463506 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 22:49:15 +0000 Mrs. Pen 463506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@erwoo: yeah it is hard with a kid - thankfully with Cobi only being 10 months he doesn't make too many messes yet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463455 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:49:20 +0000 erwoo 463455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: Oh, I totally understand! We have a neighbor who are both doctors and their house is immaculate as well. The wife came over last week and I was horrified at how our house looked when she left 20 minutes later. My son managed to spread toys all over the floor that she had to walk around it to get out. I'm not normally THIS messy but it's so hard with kids! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463420 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:12:53 +0000 Mrs. Pen 463420@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yin: that's awesome! Yeah, visibly lol. Our bedroom is an eyesore lol!!</p> <p>@erwoo: lol, well normally I tidy up as oppose to clean clean but this particular guest is the mom I used to nanny for and despite she and her husband working FT jobs she stills manages to keep an immaculate house with two young children. Always. She would apologize if the morning dishes weren't done by the time I got there (9am!)... Sooooo that's why I heavy duty cleaned haha! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463414 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 21:08:54 +0000 yin 463414@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At one point I had a visitor every day of the week, and my house was soooo clean (visibly clean of course). I love the extra motivation to tidy up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463365 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:19:35 +0000 Baby Boy Mom 463365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So true! Sometimes I plan play dates at my house just so that I know it will get some extra cleaning that day! ha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463272 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 19:11:25 +0000 prettylizy 463272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm amazed at how long I can keep it clean if I know I'm going to have people over a few days in a row. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463260 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:53:35 +0000 erwoo 463260@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, that's nice you cleaned. I prob would have just said, "sorry, our house is such a mess. I have three boys (husband included)." LOL! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463255 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:33:23 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 463255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463233 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 18:06:33 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 463233@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So true! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/its-amazing-how-fast#post-463221 Sun, 23 Dec 2012 17:49:45 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 463221@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know!!

Hahah!</p> <p>Someone called and said they wanted to see us before Christmas vacation so we had 1.5 hours to clean and our house was sooo messy from gift wrapping, cooking, Christmas DIY presents etc.... I am amazed we got it as clean as we did! Ha!</p> <p>People should invite themselves over more often :-P </p>
