XP from Working Moms: If you do a little cleaning each night...

-->

If you do a little cleaning each night, what do you do?  I am trying to make a schedule to get it all done, and decide what to do on each night.  I'm going to try to do a load of laundry each night & spend a little time decluttering).  For the cleaning, what am I forgetting?  So far, I'm thinking...

Monday vacuum

Tuesday litter box (trash day is Wednesday)

Wednesday dust

Thursday bathrooms

Friday free for date night

Saturday steam clean floors

  • Sounds good!  Make sure you remember to clean your kitchen appliances too (microwave, stove, etc.)

  • I am not the one with a spotless house, but I use this website for reminders. One thing that I have been much better at is making sure the kitchen sink is empty before going to bed. Check out flylady.net. Helpful hints and helps keep you on track if you need encouragement.

  • I vacuum Sunday and Thursday, clean all the floors on Wednesday, clean the bathrooms on Thursday, declutter every night.  I do the towels on Tuesday, our clothes on Wednesday or Thursday.  I make sure that the kitchen sink is clean and free of dishes every night and morning.  I dust regularly, but it could be a day during the week or on the weekend.  I always wash the girls' bed sheets on Friday and our bedsheets on Saturday morning.   

     

  • Please tell me that by "litterbox" you mean changing it and not just scooping it?!  I do mine at least once a day if not twice.

    I do all the basics every day (it takes less than 30 minutes to straighten, scoop, make beds, wipe counters, do dishes) and then save the heavy cleaning for Saturday mornings.  I do laundry 2 days in the evenings and a few loads on weekends.

  • I have a whole google calendar w/ a cleaning schedule on my blog (scroll down on the right side and you'll see it).  It's very detailed, but takes like 20min to do... you know, when you actually do it. ;)

  • I sometimes check into the flylady to-do for the day and try to declutter a room at a time every other day.
