Create a Cleaning Schedule to Complete All Your Household Chores

cleaning the house

Tired of experiencing those overwhelming cleaning days when you mother-in-law announces she is stopping over for dinner or your relatives from out of town announce they will be visiting this week?

The best way to prevent those big cleaning days is to create a daily or weekly cleaning schedule and stick to it.

Daily Cleaning Schedules

While some might be dissuaded by the idea of cleaning every single day, choosing this cleaning plan means you only have to spend 15 or 20 minutes cleaning, instead of the multiple hours required when you clean less frequently.

  • We recommend starting your new cleaning routine by creating a chart of all the chores you have to get done on a regular basis.
  • Think vacuuming, dusting, wiping down counter-tops and taking out the garbage.
  • Choose one area to tackle each day, leaving the biggest projects for the weekends.

Whether you spend a few minutes cleaning each morning or every day after work, you will feel great knowing that your house is always well kept and sparkling clean.

Schedule Weekly Cleaning

If you prefer to tackle your cleaning in one swoop, a great idea is to devote one day to the task.

There will always chores that have to be done each week (like laundry and changing sheets), but there are others that can be rotated between.

Put tasks like cleaning the baseboards, sorting through paperwork and cleaning the oven on a separate schedule, choosing one of these big tasks to do each week as you rotate through this longer list.

Getting into a cleaning schedule can be tricky, but once you have it down it will become like second nature to you.

For all your cleaning needs, SpongeOutlet is here to help! With Eraser Sponges, Melamine Floor Pads and more, we have everything you need to keep the surfaces of your home sparkling clean.

Cleaning and Organizing Your Home in the New Year

If you made a New Year’s resolution to get your home more organized as January begins, now is the perfect opportunity to make changes throughout your home, rearranging furniture, cleaning out cupboards and donating items you no longer use.

There is no better feeling than coming home to a clean, well-organized house and with these simple tips your place will look its best in no time.

Create a Landing Area

One of the biggest problems when it comes to organizing your home is dealing with the array of objects

  • Coats
  • Shoes
  • Purses
  • Backpacks
  • Mail
  • Keys

that come in the door when your family gets home in the evening.

Instead of allowing these items to be placed on the kitchen counter and piled on the backs of chairs, we recommend creating a landing area near the door.

Hang some hooks for your coats, lay down mats for shoes and boots, and add a hall table to your décor. The perfect place for keys, purses and mail to be placed, this new addition will also make getting out of the door easier every morning.

All you have to do is grab your pile of stuff and run.

Work Room by Room

The idea of cleaning your entire home is a big commitment and one that can scare off even the most determined individuals. Instead of looking at your New Year’s cleaning undertaking as one enormous project, break it down into a bunch of small assignments.

Focus on a different room of your home every week or month, creating a more organized and functional space as you go.

With a little time and elbow grease, your home will be sparkling clean by the time you are finished removing clutter and reorganizing each room.

As you are making these organizational changes to your home, do some cleaning along the way to create a fresh and glowing home for the new year.

Whether you are scrubbing the floors, cleaning the cabinets or wiping down the counters, SpongeOutlet has the cleaning products you need to get the job done.
