Creating a weekly routine that works for you is the best way to keep your house clean. Here’s a list of chores that should be done once a week to keep your house in the best possible shape. Assign one room to each day of the week, and viola! you’ve got a weekly cleaning schedule that will help you keep your whole house spic and span in less than an hour each day!
Each Day
-wash and put away dishes
-wipe down kitchen and bathroom counters
-wipe out kitchen and bathroom sinks
Kitchen
-mop the floor
-wipe down cabinet doors and the exterior of the appliances
Bathroom
-polish fixtures
-scour the tub
-disinfect the toilet and wipe down the base
-mop the floor
Living Spaces
-dust shelves, furniture, and trinkets – don’t forget the things hanging on the wall!
-vacuum carpets and mop hard-surface floors
Bedrooms
-same as living spaces, plus
-wash bed linens
And don’t forget to sweep and de-clutter your front entry area/foyer each week too! If you don’t like the idea of spending one day per room you can always change it up and do the kitchen one day, bathroom one day, and then spend one day dusting all rooms, one day vacuuming, and one day mopping all hard-surface floors! Adjust as needed and do what works best for you!
