Daily House Cleaning Checklist

A chore is a chore when it is made to be a chore. Cleaning is a major daily chore around a house. Messes do not follow a schedule and so you cannot follow a fixed schedule for cleaning. What you can do is get yourself organized by fitting a cleaning schedule within your normal routine so that the chores do not pile up at the end of the day or at weekends.

GET SORTED

Getting your house cleaned, includes washing dishes, doing the laundry, keeping the kitchen and bathrooms clean, keeping the floors clean, keeping things organized and more. To get all these done, fix slots along the day allotted for certain tasks. For example you can set three different time slots for getting the chores done: Morning, Afternoon and Night. You can allot yourself different set of jobs that you would like to get done in the morning, late in the afternoon, or at night, or as per your choice. This will help you to get a clear idea of what remains to do done and any pending task which is in the threat of getting piled up.

PREPARE CHECKLIST

Another efficient way of getting things done competently is preparing a checklist. Categorize the cleaning chores around the house. You can do this on the basis of your rooms, your priority or your preference. Here is a guide for preparing a daily house cleaning checklist.
