Best Practices for Setting a Home Cleaning Schedule
Filed under: Home Cleaning
How often do you set new intentions for home cleaning, only to find it tough to stick to the schedule? The key to managing these household duties is to create a routine that you can actually follow, prioritizing the tasks that have the most impact each room of your home.
In fact, many homeowners find that a cleaning schedule is less stressful than trying to clean the entire house from top-to-bottom at once. When you are consistent about following this routine, it means that a clean home isn’t too far out of reach at any time.
Here are a few tricks for designing a schedule that actually works for you and your busy lifestyle:
Be Realistic
Consider the time you have available and break down the cleaning tasks to match. For example, it’s not realistic to come home from a long day at work and plan to deep clean the entire house in one session. Instead, pick one or two things that will give your living space a quick refresh, such as vacuuming the floors or wiping down one of the bathrooms.
Buy the Right Products
Quality cleaning supplies and tools makes it easier and more enjoyable to clean your home. Get a vacuum that is lightweight and simple to move, non-toxic cleaning products, and anything else that you want to use while cleaning.
Write it Down
Pull out a calendar and write down your plan. When the tasks are laid out in a visible format, it’s easier to know what you’ll be doing next. Having a written plan takes out the guesswork and eliminates the over-analysis about where you should start.
Mix Light Cleaning and Deep Cleaning
Light cleaning tasks throughout the week help you stay on top of things. Then, you’ll need time for deep cleaning as well. For example, you might set aside one weekend day each month when you are planning to deep clean your home. Or, schedule a home cleaning service to handle the deep cleaning while you are keeping up with the ongoing light cleaning tasks.
