I find I spend so much tidying that the cleaning goes by the wayside except for the basic dusting and vacuuming of the spaces you can see. Part of it comes from having so much stuff around that doesn't belong. As we move and arrange different areas things just get stuffed somewhere else in case we need them since truly I don't know yet. I too am of the if I can't see it I can pretend it isn't there. I am actively working on it though so there is hope. Till then a poor cleaning lady wouldn't have a hope of getting to anything to clean it. Although someone to do bathroom and kitchen top to bottom would really be nice.
