General Cleaning

I desperately need to set up a cleaning schedule now that I no longer pay someone to do it for me. Check out caldrea.com and casabella.com for supplies.

Daily Regimen:
  • AM- tidy up breakfast dishes, wipe kitchen counter, put away toiletries, wipe bathroom counter, put dirty laundry in hampers, make beds
  • PM- clean after dinner, update grocery list, check coffee is ground, coffee maker is cleaned out, put away toys and books
Weekly Schedule:
  • open windows to freshen rooms
  • start washing (including towels, bed linens)
  • clean bathroom
  • dust furniture, decorations, lights
  • clean floors (damp mop)
  • clean out expired food from fridge, wipe inside
  • clean exterior of appliances, remove crumbs from toaster
  • clean stovetop and burners
  • wipe surface of large appliances and cabinets
  • empty recycling and garbage, clean out containers
  • clean sink and floor, but sink plugs in dishwasher
  • wash inside of empty dishwasher
  • recycle old magazines and newspaper
  • vacuum sofa and under furniture
  • Clean interior and exterior of windows
Once a Month
  • Polish wood furniture
  • Clean tvs etc
  • Dust bookcases
  • Remove cobwebs from ceilings and corners
  • Wipe light switches and door knobs
  • Clean interior of windows
June 2011 update: I now have a Numbers file dedicated to my cleaning routing. And it is actually divided into a 4 week plan with seasonal activities. The 4 weeks represent 4 weeks in a month and if there is a 5th week, then I get to mainly rest that week (only do what happens every week). When I get a chance I will update it and make an excel version and share it with you all.
