Do You Need a House Cleaning schedule?

Many of us have a desire to maintain order in our homes but often find it difficult to make time for this responsibility.

Having a solid house cleaning schedule can help you organize what needs to be done and when as well as prevent unnecessary stress that comes from forgetting things like regular dishwasher cycles or clearing out the fridge before the food goes bad.

It is very important to create a cleaning schedule that will work for you and your family.

How to make a house cleaning schedule

There are 6 important factors that need to be taken into account when creating a house cleaning schedule:

How often, how much time will it take and what’s the importance of each task you want to include. What types of resources do I have available? Where is everything in my home? How long does each type of chore typically take me and how many people are in my household?

You have 2 options, one is to implement 2 combined tasks 3 times a week, and the other is to make a list of tasks that need to be done for each day, and one day off.

• This is the last day in your house cleaning schedule so you can focus on anything that needs attention. It’s usually a good idea to do any deep-cleaning tasks, such as tile floors and windows.

Create a schedule that works for you

A scheduler will work for everyone differently. If you are someone who likes to clean once a week on the weekends, your schedule would be different than if you like to do it every day. Create a scheduler that works for YOU.

Use the schedule

You spent some time planning, organizing, and creating your house cleaning schedule. Now you can use it to keep your home clean!

The first thing to do is pick the tasks that need to be done.

Then group them by how often they should happen. This could be daily, weekly, monthly, or bimonthly depending on what task needs attention more

How to group the cleaning tasks

I suggest you group 3 different tasks from the list above and complete them 2 days a week. This way, your house will be always clean.

You can group them according to the type of task:

Day 1: Putting clothes in the laundry hamper or washing machine if dirty, Cleaning the kitchen, and Cleaning the bathroom

Day 2: Washing dishes and putting them away, Dusting furniture, shelves, and other surfaces in your home, and Vacuuming and mopping floors

Depending on your preference, you can create a schedule for just the weekdays or weekends. This will depend on if there is anything that needs to be done more frequently than weekly (for example monthly tasks).

The best way to do this is by writing down everything and then organizing it into daily, weekly, bi-weekly, monthly cleaning routines.
