Developing a weekly checklist for house cleaning will work wonders in keeping your home overall clean, tidy and presentable for those last minute drop in guests. When thinking about the strategy to use consider using the once a day 30 min plan. Not only does this help stop procrastination but also leaves a clean home feeling and the cleaning workload stays more manageable. This routine requires approximately 30 minutes a day on cleaning tasks and if you get other members of you family involved can help speed it up!
This 30 minutes a day clean away involves tackling similar cleaning tasks in each room and finishing each task for that room and progressing on to the next room. The bonus of doing it this way is that it meets your weekly checklist requirements and only the cleaning tools and supplies needed are brought out and used.
Now considering there is 30 mins to get it done, tasks are grouped together:
1. Clean all the windows, mirrors, glass tabletops and any other glass surfaces
2. Tackle the bathrooms, the tub/showers, sinks,counter tops and yes the toilets!
3. Tackle the kitchen, wipe down cupboards, clean counter tops, large and small appliances, and rotate weekly between cleaning inside the oven or refrigerator.
4. Gather up all the laundry,table linens, bathroom towels, sheets and do the laundry. Put out fresh towels, sheets and linens.
5. Dust all the surfaces, light fixtures and blinds too and polish furniture
6. Sweep and vacuum the flooring and don't forget to mop! Check, Change or refresh any pets litter/boxes or habitat they use and take out the garbage.
7. Give it a rest!
If you sort your cleaning supplies and keep them handy together in a cleaning bucket, makes it much easier and more convenient to grab and take with you, saving you time.
