Are you looking for something to make house cleaning easy?
Maybe your Thanksgiving guests left your house in need of a cleaning.
Or maybe you are preparing for Christmas celebrations and want your home to be clean.
Either way, we all want a clean house, but we don’t want to spend much time doing it.
I’ve tried several methods, but it seems that the best two options are to either spend one day cleaning top to bottom, or split it up and do one task each day.
An entire day of cleaning would be miserable and exhausting to me, so I chose the second method– one cleaning task per weekday.
I have split my cleaning to-dos into 8 small tasks that can be done in 30 minutes or less. So I clean the house over a span of two weeks, which worked perfectly for me. (With three people, my house only seems to need to be cleaned every other week.)
This is the checklist I created and posted on the inside of my pantry door to remind and motivate me, and today I’m sharing it with you.
You can download my house cleaning checklist for free.
But, my strategy might not work for you. Different strokes for different folks, right?
So, I gathered some other cleaning checklists that might work for you as well.
