I made a cleaning schedule, specifically for my house. I’m sharing my tools so that you can make a schedule and lists for your home.
My household members are me and my husband, so if you have more people or kids, this will look very different. A little bit about my house; we have a basement that we have a half bath, living room and two desks in and my husband is at his desk most nights and sometimes days when he works from home. On our first floor we have a dining room that is barely used, that for the purposes of these lists is part of the living room. We have a living room, kitchen, sitting room, foyer, and half bath on the first floor. On the second floor we have an office that doubles as a guest room, a second guest room, a bathroom, and the master with a bathroom and walk-in closet.
These rooms have not been cleaned and chores are sorely behind. For the past month, I’ve been using these tools and we’re getting things done. It’s a little harder right now because, with the wedding coming up, I’m in meetings and fittings; these tools help me prioritize and get done what I can.
I use this spreadsheet to plan the next day or two, including the tasks that my husband plans to complete.
Here’s the “lists” that I build my next day planning from:
That pretty much sums it up. I’m still adding tasks to my monthly list, which includes anything monthly, every couple of few months, and annual tasks, but having them in this accessible list means I can just move the month’s tasks to the next day planning and fit them in based on time allotment.
How do you manage your household tasks? Any tools or tips? I would really appreciate any recommendations on cleaning products or devices (ex: we need a vacuum and other cleaning supplies).
