Create a cleaning schedule

A cleaning schedule gets housework done quickly. It's much easier to do 30 minutes of housework a day than picking one day a week to get it all done. 
Create a cleaning schedule to save time and make your life easier. Break up your cleaning tasks and create a  schedule.

 

I have been a stay at home mom for over six years and learned if I don’t make a schedule for myself, nothing will get done. Cleaning is not my favorite activity but it is one of those things you have to do.
 

At the beginning of this year, I signed up for the Work at Home School. One of the courses in the school is Clean Mama’s Homekeeping Society.
 
The Homekeeping Society is a monthly or annual membership. With this membership, you’ll receive a monthly printable schedule to help you keep your home clean and orderly.
Joining this membership was so helpful for creating a cleaning schedule. The schedule I receive each month is a good starting place for me to decide on what I need to focus on. It’s much easier doing 30 minutes of housework a day. Rather than picking one day a week to get it all done. 

 

There are certain cleaning tasks that need to get done every day. Other cleaning tasks only need attention once a week.


Certain chores that need to get done every day

  • Making beds
  • Loading and unloading the dishwasher
  • Wiping down counters
  • Vacuuming
  • Sweeping
  • Picking up clutter
 

Weekly Cleaning Schedule

There are certain tasks that are only necessary once a week.  Such as cleaning bathrooms, mopping floors and dusting. So I assign each of these tasks to a day of the week.

Monday is my kitchen cleaning day. 
  • Deep clean of the counters  
  • Clean stove top and quick wipe down of the oven door and range hood
  • Scrub the kitchen sink and around it
  • Clear the countertops of the coffee maker and other things and wipe the counter down in those areas
Tuesday is bathroom day.
  • Clean the mirrors
  • Wipe down the countertops
  • Clean the toilet
  • Scrub the tub and shower walls
 
Wednesday is mopping day. 
  • Kitchen floor
  • Bathroom floor
  • The entryway 
 
Thursday is dusting day.
 
Friday is a rotating task day. These tasks are not necessary to do each week. Here are some examples:
  • Clean the refrigerator
  • Deep clean vacuum ( corners, under and around furniture)
  • Clean the oven
  • Clean windows

A Cleaning Schedule Helps with Productivity

 

My cleaning work week is Monday through Friday. Who wants to clean on the weekend, right! Having a schedule and knowing what I need to do helps me stay more productive. Creating a cleaning schedule makes the tasks go a lot quicker.

 

My goal for this year was to be more productive. Most of my days are a blur and it seems like nothing ever gets done.  Things will get done if I stick to my cleaning schedule. I created an entry in my Bullet Journal to remember which tasks I want to accomplish on each day. This helps me to stay on schedule.

 

Do you have a cleaning schedule? Do you break up cleaning your home into daily tasks or do you prefer to get it all done at once? Let me know in the comments.
