Clean your home on a Schedule

Kim PhillipsTips

We are one month into back to school time and so many of us are so busy – working, driving to activities, taking care of children, making it to social engagements, and spending time with our families. There is a lot to do!

It can be hard to get everything done, especially cleaning your home. And no home can be 100% cleaned just in one day! But a great way to stay ahead of the game is with a cleaning schedule! We found a lovely cleaning schedule that is broken down into daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. That way, you can make it through all the cleaning of your home and keep it clean for longer, without the overwhelm of trying to do it all in one day!

Feel free to download the cleaning schedule we found on the blog, A Cultivated Nest, or copy and past the list below and move or add tasks to suit your home. Come back here and let us know how your cleaning schedule went!
