Can anyone relate? Yes.

Does anyone have any tips or insight into this specific problem?

I pretty much threw out everything when I moved. So now we have 2 sets of dishes for each of us, a 4 pot/pan set, 5 pc baking set and that's it for dishes. I brought our computers, desks for entertainment and bed/draws and seating.

My son kept his game system, games and out door toys but that's about it. Even staying very minimal we have issues with cleaning.

We happen to have 3 n 1 shower gel so our tub looks tidy. All over our house we have clorox wipes. The last one to bed wipes down the sink, toilet seat bowl and throws it in the trash (and scrubs their hands). It takes less then 2 min.

We've given up on sorting cloths before sticking them in the laundry first one to leave the bedroom throws the cloths in the wash. When it's full you throw a pod in and start. Whoever turns of the kitchen light moves the cloths to the dryer and gets the kitchen night clean up. Drop in guests are usually not welcomed.
