One Clorox Wipe A Day...

Keeps the dirt away! I have been asked by many friends how my house is routinely clean.  My answer to them is, "one clorox wipe a day."  Okay, maybe not just one...but however many it takes to get just one job done.  Here's my theory on cleaning.  I want a clean house, and I want it to be clean all the time, BUT I don't want to spend a ton of time making it that way.  For this reason I have created a cleaning chart where I simply do a different task every day of the week.  Each task takes between 15 and 30 minutes, depending on what the task is.  I have one job a day Monday-Saturday, and I take a well deserved break on Sunday.  For jobs that don't need done every week, such as dusting the baseboards and cleaning the windows I put them on a "once a month schedule."  Here is what my cleaning schedule looks like:

Here is the schedule close up:















Monday - Sweep and polish the hardwood floors in the dinning room (15 minutes)
Tuesday - Dust the whole house (20 minutes)
Wednesday - Vacuum the entire upstairs
Thursday - Clean all three bathrooms (30 minutes)
Friday - Vacuum the entire downstairs and swifter the kitchen floor (20 minutes)
Saturday - Clean the kitchen - appliances, countertops, wipe down cabinets (30 minutes)
