Easy Cleaning Plan
Here is how we tackle keeping our home clean and presentable (not perfect). There are daily and weekly happy home cleaning basics that just keep the house organized and presentable. And then, we pick one area of the home that gets a more thorough cleaning each week. The house is divided up into areas to be deep cleaned each week of the month. Before the month is over, every area has had it's turn. And you do kind of feel, ah this is nice, when it's all done. Also for that special area for the week, tackle a not-so-obvious spot to clean (oops) every day. These spots can become real obvious if totally neglected. Just about 15 minutes a day for 4 days of the week and the detailed cleaning is done. And without interruptions, the basics take 50 minutes that can be tackled all at once or 10 minutes a day. The git-er-done routine is just part of the daily routine. Having a plan helps everything run more smoothly when life gets extra busy. If something unusual happens (vacation, sickness, etc..) don't play catch-up, just jump right back on schedule. Staying on track, keeps the infrequent skips of detailed cleaning unnoticeable. Our cleaning area for the week and oops will be posted on the Home and Garden page.
