Doesn’t it seem like the household chores never end?
It does for me sometimes anyway. I’ve found that having a set cleaning schedule (with plenty of wiggle room of course) makes keeping up with the house a little bit easier. Here are some ways to create a successful cleaning schedule that works for you.
List what chores need to be done when and how often
The first step is to make a list of all the chores that need to be done at some point to keep your home clean and running smoothly. What needs to be completed daily? Weekly? Bi-weekly? Monthly? Quarterly? Yearly?
Decide what works better for you: one room at a time or one chore at a time
Personally, I prefer to clean one chore at a time. I dust the whole house, vacuum the house, etc.
But you may prefer to clean one room at a time.. It doesn’t matter, do what works best for you and your family! Either way, the house still gets cleaned. 🙂
Are you going to set aside one whole day for cleaning or do one chore/room per day?
I’ve usually done most of the cleaning on one day during the weekend or even on a Friday night. However, I’m going to try to switch to a couple things each evening so I have more time on the weekends.
More tips to make your cleaning schedule run smoothly:
- Take a basket with you to place items that need to go elsewhere. This saves you from running all over the house while cleaning.
- Give each family member a list of what they’re responsible for.
- Minimize cleaners by mainly using one all-purpose cleaner.
- If you dread cleaning, think of it as exercise- pushing the vacuum and scrubbing counter-tops burns calories!

How do you keep an organized cleaning schedule?
I am trying to come up with a “maintenance schedule” so I don’t have to do marathon cleaning sessions like I do now. These are great tips and I plan on tracking my vacuuming caloric burn. Thank you for linking up with Family Fun Friday!
Me too! I’m getting worn out trying to do all cleaning in one day. Great idea to track vacuuming caloric burn, I’ll have to try that too. We have 2 dogs, so there is lots of vacuuming at our house! 🙂
Nice tips to make cleaning schedule to run smoothly.House cleaning is not the responsibility of only a single person,All family members are equally responsible.
Thank you very much for posting,keep it up!
Giving each family member a list of what they’re responsible for has made my work much easier.Very interesting post,Thanks for sharing!
These are great tips! I’ve got meal planning down pat but I need to make a cleaning schedule; my laundry pile always gets out of control.
I agree with you. Cleaning schedule helps also for me. Although I don’t usually make a list of things that need cleaning, like, this week I’ll clean that or that month do that. I just make a pretty simple schedule where basically every month I write things that have to be done and in which week. Then I plan which things will come after, for example, this week I have to clean toilet, clean the floor and something like that, but next week I’ll have to do the same, and deep clean bathroom, like clean shower curtains, tiles. I do basic things every week but add some deep cleaning stuff every two weeks. I also try to make a list of all the cleaning products that I have to buy so I wouldn’t start to clean and then realize that I don’t have products..
By the way, a little while ago I bought a robotic vacuum cleaner and it’s so cool! I can even schedule when it has to clean the floor, so yeah, it’s helping my daily, what is great 🙂
Great ideas Laura! I especially need some sort of checklist and schedule to help keep a consistently clean home. Thanks!
Great this. I will try your Plan…thanks!
