Cleaning Schedule

I thought I'd post my cleaning schedule for anyone who is interested. It is loosely based on Flylady's routines, but instead of working on one area (or zone) per week, I work on one per day. The schedule is organised so that everything gets done once by the end of the week. If anyone can see anything that is left out, let me know! The zone of the day gets an in-depth clean - wiping down door knobs, light switches, and window ledges etc. Anyway, enough babble! Here it is:

Monday

• · Change Sheets
• · Vacuum and Mop
• · 1 load of washing – sheets
• · Zone - Bedroom / Ensuite
  
• · Exercise:

• · Change tea towels and tablecloth
• · Clean toilets and sinks
• · 1 load of washing – kids

I also have a daily routine of the same tasks to be completed each day. It still needs a bit of tweaking as I want to add in homework time / story time for the kids, but this is what I have so far:

Morning

• · Check Fortnightly Schedule
• · Washing
• · Tidy Kitchen and put Dishwasher on
• · Get meat out for tea
• · Make Beds
• · Brush teeth and do face!

Lunch

• · Exercise
• · Hang washing on line
• · Unpack dishwasher
• · Desk time - 15 mins (tidy, file, pay bills)

Afternoon / Evening

• · Prepare dinner
• · Bring in washing and put away
• · Feed Scruffy
• · Bath kids and do teeth!
• · Tidy Kitchen and put Dishwasher on
• · Put leftovers away
• · Check calendar, menu plan and Fortnightly Schedule for tomorrow

I find I seem to work much better if I have a list to follow. It helps me to keep on track. Providing I look at it, of course! lol I'm planning on laminating the daily task list and sticking it on the fridge so I can refer to it easily each day.
