FILE- This March 16, 2009 file photo shows Beth Rogers wipeing out the kitchen sink at her home in Fayetteville, Ark. If you can spare 10 minutes once or twice a day, you can spruce up the whole house without breaking a sweat. Do a surface wipe. Take some disinfectant wipes or some cleanser and paper towels and clean all the counters and the sinks in the kitchen and the bathrooms that get used the most often, said Alicia Rockmore, CEO of Buttoned Up, an organizational lifestyle company in Ann Arbor, Mich. "Literally, you can do the kitchen in 10 minutes and one or two bathrooms in 10 minutes." (AP Photo/Beth Hall)
