I have had a lot of people ask me my cleaning routine lately.... I guess they think my house is clean or something!! I guess I got them tricked!
Actually I am a creature of routine and I do love a clean/picked up house, who doesn't?
I have found that for me and my life it doesn't work to pick one day and clean the whole house. When Cade was my only child it worked really well to do upstairs one day and down stairs another day. After several attempts to do that after Blake was born I finally gave up and realized it wasn't going to work. So here is usually how I go about cleaning. I do this "deep clean" every other week.
MONDAY: Showers
TUESDAY: Toilets & sinks/counters
WEDNESDAY: Dust/vacuum upstairs
THURSDAY: Mop kitchen & entry
FRIDAY: Dust/vacuum downstairs
On my off week I obviously still vacuum several times and spot mop the kitchen but I also try (emphasis on the try) to pick a room or an area that needs some extra attention and work on organizing and de-cluttering it.
This just seems to work for me. Doing the deeper cleaning every other week helps me not feel like I'm a slave to house cleaning and it also gives us a chance to live in and dirty up the house! This week is my cleaning week and now that the boys are playing together it has made it SO much nicer. I actually found myself cleaning while they were both awake. This is a whole new thing for me! I could get used to it!
Happy cleaning,
