The following is a cleaning schedule that I have worked out to best suit my needs. Having a husband, a one year old, being pregnant and living in very hot climate is proving to have an effect on my being able to keep up.
Please feel free to use this. You can make adjustments to also meet your own personal needs and desires.These are printer friendly and will work out to two pages. Just copy and paste on word first.

(doing this daily cuts down on the dust and does not take much time)

(ie, dishes to kitchen, stray toys picked up, books returned to shelf)

Hi Bismah. What a detailed schedule! It would be a dream if I could keep up with such a schedule. However, now that my kids are older, I can divide this schedule and have them knock out some of the chores. I need to get more organized.

Hi Sharon!
DeleteI am sure I will not be able to keep up with this all the time. I am hoping it will help. I am one of those people who want to do 20 things all at once making it more difficult to finish one thing at a time.

I think I have messy boys :) I have to bleach my entire toilet and bathroom everyday, if I don't it smells since they tend to miss the toilet. Also I would love one load of laundry a day, I normally have at least two! I like that you have everything broken down by day, it's much easier when you have a clear goal of what needs to be done and then can delegate to different family members!
ReplyDeleteHi Anne!
DeleteMy bathroom is actually easier to keep clean that my kitchen. Only hubby and I am using it. I am sure once the little ones are trained and in there that will all change. With the kitchen, I tend to try and wipe up my messes as I go but if someone else gets in there look out.
I am really hoping this schedule can help me out.
