It's always a challenge finding time to clean my house.
Seems the hours, days and weeks just fly by, so much to
do, so little time. Here are three ways to fit in your
house cleaning.
1. Schedule it in. We all make appointments, whether it
is for ourselves or someone else. Before we set up an
appointment we check our schedules, making sure we
find the best time. Why not schedule a house cleaning
appointment. Pick a time once a week and make that a
regular appointment, if we need to cancel be sure to
reschedule it for that week. I find that since I keep up
with cleaning once a week, it doesn't take me as long
and there isn't much dust.
2. One room a day. Instead of choosing one day a week to
clean, try cleaning one room a day. Our house won't be clean
at once, but by the end of the week the whole house will
be cleaned. Monday comes and we are starting again.
Sometimes when I'm cooking and have something in
the oven, I'll do a quick wipe down of all the counters.
While the kids are in the tub, I wipe down
the bathroom and clean the toilet.
3. Hand off a room. If there are other people living in
the house and are old enough to take on responsibility,
then hand off a room. We can either have them
choose or we can choose the room for them. Let them help
with the cleaning and I don't think asking for help with
"one" room in the house is asking too much.
Once we have less rooms to clean, the easier it is to get
the rest of the house done.
