Do you make a schedule for home cleaning?

We have to do different type of cleaning at our home. Do you do different cleaning in different days? Like one day is fixed for cleaning the kitchen, one day is for bathroom cleaning, do you do your cleaning like this? Or jsut do it whenever feel like doing it? How do you follow your home cleaning?

That would be tough. Don't you worry about waking up the others in your household?

I am sick! I have a nice neat plan all typed out and in a plastic sleeve on the fridge. Everyday it's quick clean, that's collect dirty clothes, light dusting and putting odd and ends up. Then every day I have certain rooms that get hit hard through out the week. I have issues with cleaning, so any way I can get it done and over with less time and work, I will figure it out.

That sounds awesome. I like that idea. Especially of having it posted up on the refridgerator or somewhere else that you can have it handy to see. Thanks sunshinecup.

Yes we do, the jobs are shared between two people, although he never does his fair share. I usually leave the bathroom for the weekend, hoovering I do every other day, washing up is supposed to be done everyday, but my housemate thinks its ok to leave it for a couple days at a time, hoping I'll do it for him. Our bedrooms are our own responsibility and I clean mine once a week. Washing clothes I do every day, the washing machine and tumble drier is nearly always on. I do housework everyday, it's a never ending job!

I do have a schedule for the house cleaning. I make a list for every hour that my husband is at work I try to do most of my house work then so that I can spend as much time with him that I can.

i have no cleaning schedule sweetlady. I clean the house everyday or the moment i find it dirty ot messy already.Cleaning is part of my everyday habit. but everyday saturday is like a general cleaning day. we clean the whole house including the backyard, everything within site. The whole family does this every saturday. it acts as a bonding activity for us.

As a single guy I clean only when i have to lol I would postpone it whenever I can because I'm always busy or at my computer.. so no schedule but what needs to be done will be done.

I had a schedule when the kids were home, there was no other way to get it all done. Now it is just me, a roommate and a dog. We usually just clean as we go, neither of us are very junkie. The house stays pretty clean and picked-up daily. The bathrooms and stripping the linens are scheduled for Sat. though, just no energy during the week.

No, I don't write schedules. I pretty much wash towels and sheets on given days but every day is wash day (i have three teenage sons and a husband!). I usually clean the toilets every day. I clean the bathrooms once a week - sometimes every two weeks. I clean the kitchen benches and sink most days, but the rest of the kitchen once a week or fortnight. I dust the other areas when they need it. I wash floors once a week. I vacuum when the urge hits me whichis when I can't convince someone else to do it. LOL.

Sometimes I clean the whole house at once but that isn't that often. Usually I make a plan for one room per day or what specialty thing per day. Like doing all the curtains one day or the carpets. That type thing. I find for some of it that way works best. I can get more done with less time.

I usually focus on one room a week, and really clean that room well, and the other parts of the house i Straighten. Like today I will be cleaning the boy's room and going through all of their clothes and stuff, I've already cleaned the rest of the house. I spend about a half an hour on the rest of the house (not including dishes and laundry) and about a half an hour on that particular room for a total of at least an hour and then plus dishes is another half an hour and probably about the same with the laundry.

no not really. i should do that and i would get more accomplished i suppose. i try and clean the bathrooms everyday.. the kitchen is always cluttered, but dishes are done, and no garbage laying around. the bedrooms i get to when i have time. vacumming usually once a week... i could go on but i need to get cleaning!!

nope, with both me and my partner working 40 hours weeks we have to fit the cleaning in as and when we can! I guess we just think hmm that looks like it need a tidy or a clean, we have some time to do it now so let's do it! So i guess a combination of when we get the chance and when we feel like it.
