Daily Quick Clean
What makes each of these quick? Have in each area wipes, or paper towels with cleaning spray readily available. Remember this is a quick clean not a deep clean. The deep clean will happen later. Add each one to your routine for a whole month before adding the next one. This will keep you from feeling overwhelmed.
Cleaning Sink and Countertops
-
After meals and before bedtime, take just a few minutes to wipe down the kitchen sink and countertops.
-
Unload dishwasher before breakfast (or before each meal if you run if multiple times a day), then the family can load dirty dishes in the dishwasher instead of stacking them in the sink until it's full again.
Freshen Bathroom
-
After showering, use bath towel to wipe down shower, this keeps the soap scum and water spots from building up.
-
After brushing teeth and putting on make-up, wipe bathroom sink, faucets and countertops.
-
After dressing, swish the inside (keep a squirt of cleaner in the brush holder) and wipe down the outside of the toilet.
Quick Pick-up
-
Before your husband gets home and before bedtime, take a few minutes to pick things up and put them back in their place.
Get up, make-it
-
When you first get out of bed in the morning, make it.
Quick Sweep
-
After mealtimes, it's a good idea to quickly sweep the eating area.
-
Vacuum the high traffic areas before your husband comes home for the evening.
