I think you nailed it Applekat. It helps until it doesn't. At that point we're screwed. Balance is important but so is playing with Legos - at least until you barefoot step on one! So maybe clean as you go, a little here and there so it doesn't build up. Though that's what I try to do; I'm not successful, it's yet another thing I'm working on. And I don't even have children to care for and clean up after, you've got me beat by a country mile.
