I am not breaking any ground here with this discussion of cleaning. HOWEVER, please stay with me because I think getting clear on what we mean by (usually interchangable) terms like "tidying up," "cleaning," and "getting organized," can really help us lay a foundation here for getting better help from our kids, our spouses, and even our village when they try to pitch in.

This is sort of a philosophy of the WFH mom situation applied to the topic of cleaning.
