Help with Chore List
I am moving into an apartment with my fiancee this weekend actually. This afternoon, I am going there to pre-clean if you will. Wipe down the baseboards, ceiling fan, kitchen appliances, clean the bathroom, etc. I'm sure the complex had cleaners come in after the previous residents moved out, but I would like to start fresh.
I would like to start a daily chore list. Does anyone have one they are willing to share with me? Or know of anything that I can add?
TIA!!

Re: Help with Chore List
Oh my goodness. You're just like me
I may have to steal alot of these.
It's up to you where and when on your priority list you'll put things, but a few more that I have on my own personal one-
-clean out fridge (this includes throwing away old stuff, organizing what's inside, and also just taking everything out and washing the shelves, etc).
-clean out oven/stove
-organize closet (hang things, take out extra hangers for laundry, folding neatly, organizing drawers)
-ironing (if not included in the "laundry" category. I set aside time for each seperately)
-wipe mirrors, tv and computer screens, windows
Just a few
I'll see if I can look at my list and add more that I may have forgotten!

You are a driven woman to do that much in the morning!
Haha. I have washing sheets and couch covers in my schedule.
I also am very freakish about my appliances being clean since I used to live in mold central...the microwave, dishwasher, and washer.
Ceiling fans and real fans are something I struggle with cleaning if I don't remind myself. I take apart all of the floor fans and clean them when they first get set out and then on as an need basis if I think they are dirty. I also need my ceiling fans to get cleaned...but that is usually done by someone much taller than me.
Breastfeeding and pregnant!
And, I thought I was organized and clean.. I guess not so much now. I major clean every other week (usually) and do laundry, vacum, clean kitchen, ect. every week as needed.
GO YOU!!!
I do all that, but a list for some of that is a little over the top for me. I don't need a checklist to get dressed and to make coffee.
You will take more time reading your list and checking things off.
