I came across these cleaning tips and liked them...

So I thought I would share.  Here is the complete blog post if you want to explore, Click here.  

I have a similar system for cleaning my house like this, but I think this is a really good idea to have  a chart for each day so you don't get overwhelmed.   Especially being 33 weeks pregnant it's getting harder to do anything!!!!!




MONDAY 
(Monday is cheating because it is 3 chores...but they aren't as big as the other ones so you can squeeze more in.)
  • Laundry day. Always keep your machines running.  Start first thing in the morning and consciously keep loads going throughout the day. Set an alarm in your phone if you have to. Fold laundry at night watching TV with the hubby. Make sure all clothes are put away before you go to bed.
  • Tidy house. Go through every room in your house and put everything away. 
    • Tip: Never leave a room empty-handed! As you walk throughout the house ALWAYS pick at least one thing up as you come/go. Your house will be picked up before you know it.
  • Vacuum main rooms (not bedrooms or stairs). As you walk through the house picking things up, drag a vacuum behind you. **NOTE: I vacuum a lot because I have a dog that sheds. You may not need to vacuum as much as I choose to do.
TUESDAY
  • Bathrooms. Everything: toilet, tub/shower, replace towels and wash clothes, sink, floors, wipe out drawers/cabinets, mirror, re-stock toilet paper/fresh towel supply. Spray some good smelling stuff in there when you are done. The satisfaction is amazing.
WEDNESDAY
  • Surfaces. All surfaces: anything that can be dusted, mopped, swept, wiped, vacuumed, etc. 
    • For me this included counter tops, windows, banisters, floors, microwave, kitchen sink, wiping down kitchen chairs, dusting and wiping all mantles/shelves/dressers/night stands/etc.,  wiping the top of the fridge, and vacuuming my floors, couches and stairs.
THURSDAY
  • Organize/clean out something. This can be a closet, your car, your child's toy box, your makeup drawer, pick one thing and don't stop until it's clean/organized.
FRIDAY
  • Tidy the house (Go through every room in your house...and never leave a room empty-handed!)
  • Vacuum (all rooms including stairs.)
