Follow my blog with BloglovinCleaning your home is a huge task, especially if you have been putting it off for a few days. Simply set aside 30 minutes daily to tackle these items, and you will never have to binge clean your home again! You’ll be surprised at how manageable this is!
Monday
Tackle the kitchen today. Scrub your kitchen counters (yes, this includes the annoying tile grout if you have any!), dust the top of your appliances and cabinets, and mop your floors.
Tuesday
If you have a four bedroom household, choose two bedrooms to clean (only choosing one if you have a two bedroom household). Be sure to dust, wipe the mirrors, and vacuum!
Wednesday
The remaining bedrooms are on the list today! Do the same as yesterday, and dust, clean mirrors, and vacuum.
Thursday
Bathrooms are awful to clean. Make it a bit more tolerable by splitting the work up over two days. Clean the bathroom fixtures today. Clean the toilets, counters, sinks, and bathtubs. Basically, anything that you really hate to do, get done today!
Friday
Clean the rest of the bathroom. Dust, clean mirrors, sweep, and mop. It’s so much easier to handle bathrooms when it’s split up in a manageable way!
Saturday
The living room and entry way are on the list today! Dust, clean any mirrors, polish and dust the furniture.
Sunday
Sunday is for any extra rooms in your household. Tidy up your mudroom, dining room, or any other room you haven’t done so far. If you’d rather take the day off, split these tasks up over the other days,
If you have to spend 30 minutes every day just to keep your home presentable, then you either have too much house for the number of people living there, too much stuff or the other people living there are not pulling their own weight. Understandable if they are under age 6. Beyond that, other than dealing with meals, it should take no longer than about an hour on the weekend and a day once a season to keep things clean and orderly.
Consider getting a smaller home, enlisting the cooperation of the other people who live with you, or making a serious effort at decluttering.
I appreciate your opinion. I wish I could have you come and help me clean my home. I try to stay on top of things (which is what this is really about) but I know I couldn’t do my whole house in just an hour. I think it’s amazing that you can, though!
