The biggest thing about keeping a house clean is to not leave things laying about. If it's a mess (spills/dirty dishes) it will look like your house is dirty and nasty. If it's cluttered (kids toys, newspapers, and a bit of everything everywhere) it will look very unkept and chaotic. Here are some tips to help you keep up with your household:
Have things put away as soon as they are done being used
Scrape and rinse the dishes before you set them in the sink to wash later
Pick up odds and ends every night before bed
Designate places to put dirty and clean laundry
Pick a day to do laundry once or twice a week
Begin a 'shoes-off' policy in the house
Buy little trash cans to put in places where a lot of trash generates
Designate a day to clean each room in the house once a week
When you have spare time, clean something before doing something fun
Sweep at least twice a week
Throw away stuff you don't need (newspaper, mail, broken things, or things you haven't used in over a year)
Clean up the stove/microwave after you make a mess
