Creating Cleaning Schedule

Divide your cleaning tasks into groups: daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal.

Go through each room of your house and write down the things that you need to get done.

Label each tasks with one of the group.

Spend no more than 5 minutes in each room.

Think about what days it makes sense to do which tasks.

Set aside Saturdays to do monthly tasks.

Housekeeping Session

Have comfy clothes.

Take your iPod with some good music or audiobooks.

Always keep one bag handy for trash.

General Rules

Always use the proper tools when housekeeping.

Never mix chemicals.

Bleach must not be used on the floors or carpets - it does not clean.

Vacuum or sweep the corners of rooms before cleaning - it will eliminate crud buildup

Never spray with liquid solution or get liquid into the sockets.

Don't store cleaning supplies in low cupboards where there is no childproof lock.

Sisinfectant buckets & spray bleach bottles stay out of children's reach at all times.
