I created another printable that coordinates with the daily routines printable. It’s just easier to pull out the vacuum and mop once then a few times a week. I do try and get all of my dusting done on one day and all of the vacuuming and mopping of the floors done on another day rather than just wait until I clean that specific room. There are a few tasks that I thought about that I do complete daily but didn’t think to add them to my daily routines list so I added them here. Vacuum, wash, &/or air out small rugs/math mats.Disinfect & wipe down top and front of washer & dryerĪ few organizational tasks that I complete every weekend to help stay organized and manage my paper clutter.This could also be a mud or utility room if you have one of those. We have a small laundry room off the kitchen and it works hard to keep our clothes cleaned, but can also easily become a place of clutter and dirt so I make sure to give it a good cleaning once a week. Disinfect remote controls, keyboards, tablets, door handles & light switches.This includes our living room, basement playroom, and our office/family room (the main rooms in our home where we spend the bulk of our time) Take inventory of personal care products (add to shopping list).Disinfect door handles & light switches.Clutter pick up (any clothing out or miscellaneous items that need to put back into their proper place.Disinfect door handles and light switches.Vacuum and mop floors (we have hardwood floors in the master).This includes both the master bedroom and the kid’s bedrooms You can use this list as a starting point if you wish, adding or deleting items that are relevant to you. I go into each room and write down what needs to be done on a weekly basis.ĭon’t worry about those chores that need to be done monthly or only a few times a year, like flipping the mattress, vacuuming under the seat cushions or dusting the ceiling fans, we’ll address those here.Īfter doing a quick walk through of my house, here is the list that I came up with. I like to start by creating a list of what chores and tasks need to be done in each room by doing a walkthrough of my home. Maybe for those of you who have a kitchen that sees a whole lot more activity, deep cleaning your kitchen may be more of a daily task. I keep it clean the rest of the week by loading the dishwasher, sweeping the floor and disinfecting the counters daily. I only give my kitchen a good cleaning once a week where I wipe down all the appliances, mop the floors and scrub the sink. So if you know that assigning days to clean works well for you, then, by all means, go that route!īut before we even start assigning chores you need to evaluate what actually needs to be cleaned in your house on a weekly basis.ĭepending on the size of your home or how many people live in it will determine which tasks need to be done. The point is just like when you created your routine, you have to find a system that works for you. Some days I don’t get any of my weekly chores done but then there are other days that I get to knock several off my list. Others like me, have a checklist of cleaning tasks that need to be done during the week.Īs I mentioned before I don’t currently do well with a time-based schedule which also included locking myself into having to complete certain chores on a certain day.īack when I just had one child I had a really great routine going where I could manage that but currently, that just doesn’t work. Some people like to assign certain chores to certain days, for example dusting on Monday, bathrooms on Tuesday, vacuum the floors on Wednesday, etc. The next element we are going to discuss is having a weekly plan, the chores that don’t need to be done daily but weekly. Having a daily morning, afternoon and evening routine is important to help keep things running smoothly around the home, but it’s only a part of the puzzle when it comes to reviewing your routine.
