Step 1: Create a Daily Cleaning Routine or use either of our schedules below.
We know the value of a team. Your family is just that! Consider involving your kids in age-appropriate activities. We've provided some ideas below!
You are the best judge of what is the best fit for your kids.
Step 2: Set a Timetable
Once you have your list of daily tasks, set a timetable for completing them. This will help you stay on track and ensure that nothing gets overlooked. Try setting specific times for each task, such as the morning for dusting, after lunch for vacuuming, and in the evening for doing dishes.
Step 3: Schedule Weekly Cleaning
In addition to your daily cleaning routine, it’s important to also schedule weekly cleaning tasks. These might include deep cleaning bathrooms, mopping floors, and polishing furniture. It’s best to assign one day of the week to tackle these tasks, so you don’t get overwhelmed.
Step 4: Tackle Larger Projects
Finally, it’s important to schedule time to tackle larger cleaning projects, such as organizing closets or decluttering drawers. Set aside a few hours each week to work on these tasks and make sure to break them up into manageable chunks.
By organizing your cleaning routine into a set schedule, you will save time and money, while reducing the stress of worrying about keeping up with the cleaning. Your family home will always be clean, efficient and inviting.
