Cleaning Schedule

This week on Kelly’s Corner: Show Us Your Life, she is featuring Cleaning Tips.

Here is a weekly cleaning schedule I created to keep on top of things. When I follow it, things run smoothly and stay in order, when I don’t, well, things definitely don’t run as smoothly and clutter can build up quickly. I use a highlighter to mark off the chores that have been completed. I don’t always necessarily complete them on the day they are scheduled. Sometimes the task is completed before that day, and sometimes after. I like this schedule because if I have a few free minutes, I can glance at the chart and decide if there is an item or items that I can complete and cross off in a short amount of time. Having a schedule definitely cuts down on or completely eliminates the marathon cleaning on one day as opposed to spreading it out throughout the week.
