Poll question: in a thoroughly wrecked house, what would you want cleaned first?
I have limited time to do the White Tornado thing today. What room would you want cleaned first? (Bathroom's done.)

1. kitchen for sure
I live in the midwest so kitchens (for my family anyway) are where we spend most of our time. We are fortunate and have a big kitchen, we have a table that seats six and then a seperated dining room We spend more time in our kitchen than anyplace else. I love to cook and love my kitchen.

6. Your most public room
For me it would be the living room, since we don't have seating in the kitchen. Used to have a house where the mainly used door opened on the dining room (farm house style) and THAT would be the first thing folks saw, so it stayed straightened.

9. It has been said that a made bed and empty kitchen sink and trash
cans make a house look 30% cleaner than it actually is.

10. The bathrooms
Nothing sucks more than a dirty bathroom, at least in my opinion.
