40 House Cleaning Checklist Template in 2020 image source: pinterest.com
Keeping your home neat (especially with a pet or children) can seem like a never-ending struggle. Dishwasher and laundry are endless tasks that seem to just reset every time you get back, never mind your regular cleaning of the floor, oven, windows and floors. You simply don’t have enough hours in the day anymore to keep up with the demands of keeping your home spotless and free from any clutter.
Thankfully, there is a way around this problem and that is a weekly cleaning schedule to help you keep up and make things less stressful for yourself and your family. You can even find a template online for free, which is very easy to use and follow.
A weekly schedule will allow you to set your priorities on each day and then you can plan what items to tackle each week. You will be able to stay organized and save hours of your time by not being able to multitask and handle all the daily tasks. This way, your home will look and smell great and you’ll actually feel good about keeping it clean.
As mentioned earlier, some of the daily tasks that you may want to get done each week include the following: dishwashing, vacuuming, cleaning the counters and other surfaces around your home, and running the garbage disposal. However, you don’t want to leave these out. After a couple of days you’ll find yourself feeling more accomplished and ready to tackle those daily tasks that you forgot about before. It’s a good idea to create weekly or monthly cleaning plans as well. This will allow you to stick with one cleaning routine without having to worry about how you’ll be able to complete other tasks or how you will get them done.
Another great thing about a weekly cleaning schedule is that you can get rid of items that you don’t really need to use or that you never use as well. For instance, if you have a lot of expensive furniture, you may not want to buy a new one each year just to clean it with just a weekly cleaning schedule. Having an itemized list of what you need and don’t need to keep your house neat will help you stay organized.
The benefits of having a weekly cleaning schedule are many, but it all starts with having a place where you can get organized. And a weekly cleaning schedule will provide that opportunity for you to keep things organized so that you won’t have to stress yourself out over keeping everything neat.
