How to keep your house clean with a cleaning routine.
Are you having trouble keeping your home clean? Do you forget to clean dirt and dust from your home? We get it! Maintaining a clean home is difficult for many homeowners. But it doesn’t have be. You can simplify your housecleaning chores by creating a simple cleaning schedule.
You will feel less overwhelmed if you have a schedule for your house. You need to choose a house cleaning plan that is most suitable for your home.
Because every home is different, a standard schedule may not be right for you. We do have some great ideas to help you make your own house-cleaning schedule.
Your weekly, monthly, and daily house cleaning schedule
The daily focus for house cleaning
The goal of daily cleaning is to keep dirt at bay. You can expect a clean, tidy home where you can unwind after a long day at the office. Clean homes will make you happier.
Here are some tasks you can complete each day to prevent things from getting out of control.
- Make the bed
- Sweep kitchen floors
- Do your laundry
- Wipe down kitchen surfaces and tables
- Do the dishes, or load the dishwasher
- Clean the coffeemaker
- You can use a sponge to scrub the shower walls
- Remove/pick up clutter
The weekly house cleaning goal
The ideal house cleaning schedule will require you to focus with laser-like precision and spend as little time as possible on chores. To achieve this, you can focus your attention on a specific room or task each day to ensure that you don’t do too much at once. Make a list of all rooms or areas that will need to be cleaned and include them in your house cleaning routine.
Here’s a sample of a weekly calendar that you can use:
- Day 1: Wash and change your bedding
- Day 2: Furniture and vacuuming
- Day 3: Scrub bathroom surfaces
- Day 4: Clean interior windows
- Day 5: Mop Kitchen and Bathroom Floors
- Day 6: Deep clean stovetops
- Day 7: Clean up all your cleaning supplies such as sponges and brushes
You might have a different weekly to-do listing than the one outlined. You should also keep your housekeeping to a minimum on weekends. It won’t hurt to slow down the pace on weekends after a hard week. The family is there to support you.
Focus on your monthly housecleaning
There are a lot of tasks to be done for your monthly home cleaning schedule. However, they don’t all have to be done at the same time. Feel free to delegate your job to your spouse and children.
Here is an example of a cleaning schedule that you could use on a monthly base:
- Dust blinds
- Cleaning up after washing machines, dryers and dishwashers
- Clean and dust light fixtures and bulbs
- Vacuum vents
