When you are busy working all day long, either at a job or caring for your children, the last thing you want to think about at the end of the day is cleaning your house. To help you overcome this dread and find joy in a tidy home, I have compiled a cleaning schedule that includes daily and weekly tasks. I find that when you do little chores each day as you go along, it makes the bigger jobs less daunting and less time consuming once a week. Keep this list somewhere accessible to help you stay on track.

Always keep in mind some weeks are busier than others and you will not always get to clean everything. That is okay! Just do the best you can when you can do it. Good luck!
