From time to time I've used a cleaning service, but it always seems something happens to the arrangement so I decided that I could incorporate cleaning into my lifestyle since I rather enjoy the sense of accomplishment when a project is completed.  My way of doing this is to break the overall cleaning task into chunks that I can do Tuesday through Thursday with a quick touch up on Saturday.  This has worked pretty well for several years now and the routine is a part of my lifestyle.  However, not everyone has this agenda and I'm amused by the various ways people go about this task.  The obvious way is to pay someone to clean for you.  I have a friend who has made peace with a light amount of dust, but every once in a while decides to attack a growing dust bunny that catches his attention.  I have other friends who spend an entire day scrubbing and polishing.  And I know a few folks who just seem to refuse to embrace the concept of "clean" in any sense of the word.  We seem to each make our worlds as we would like them, dust bunnies accepted.
