If there is one thing I am not good at, it’s deep cleaning on a daily or weekly basis. I tend to do it on a random Saturday or when company is coming over. To help me with that Day of Cleaning when I MUST get every inch of my house cleaned, I create a cleaning schedule. I plan it around kid’s lunches, picking up kids from school, my lunch and naps. This is what my schedule looked like today:
by 10am–plant flowers, fold laundry
by 11am–Clean master bedroom and kitchen
by NOON–vacuum master bedroom, dust living room surfaces, wash windows and mirrors
by 1pm–Clean bathroom, clean living room (while kids eat)
by 2pm–Vacuum living room, mop kitchen floor, wipe down kitchen table and chairs (after lunch)
by 3pm–clean kids bedrooms, clean and mop foyer and laundry room
by 4pm–use weed whacker outside and sweep porch. (during naps.)
by 5pm–shower and relax
It works wonders. I find myself finishing much earlier then my schedule, I tend to clean more thoroughly and I mark off my to-do list after each hour mark, which gives me a tremendous sense of accomplishment.
Definitely works for me. For more tips, go here!
Looks good – I’m gonna try this! I can’t ever seem to stay on schedule; maybe your method will work better for me.

You do realize that with the schedule you will have cleaned more in one day that I will have in say, oh…6 months?!?! I have jobs for each day of the week….but if I’m busy, I skip them!! (maybe we need a house cleaning blog for true confessions on that part?!?)
