This weekend was very nice. Being an early riser, I was up bright and early Saturday morning with a cup of coffee in hand and I immediately got to work on a few projects I've been meaning to complete. Turns out the project was a total flop, funny how that happens.
Anyway, I was also able to spend most of the day Sunday after church cleaning up around the apartment. The place has literally been a train wreck since we got back from our vacation last weekend. There wasn't much time for laundry and cleaning when we returned, so this weekend I spent a few hours doing some laundry and some deep cleaning (i.e. the ceiling fans! Disgusting! And if they are constantly going I don't quite understand how they collect so much dust! Ugh gross!) Needless to say, the ceiling fans are a lovely shade of white again!
This week I also plan to put a new cleaning schedule into effect to see if I can stay on top of our organization and cleaning a little better. I don't know about you all but I love a clean home. There is nothing worse to me than coming home from a long day of work to a huge mess and paper piles occupying ever surface.
After reading this post, I was inspired to create a similar cleaning schedule. Here is the schedule I came up with last week based on our weekly schedules. I'm sure I'll miss things here and there, but my hope is to spread the cleaning out through the week so it doesn't look like a tornado blew through by Wednesday evening.
Weekly Cleaning:
Monday: Dust, clean floors (vacuum all carpets/rugs, sweep and mop kitchen and bathroom), windex mirrors and glass
Tuesday: Clean bathroom, water indoor plants
Wednesday: Clean kitchen counters, clean stove top, wipe down refrigerator
Saturday: Wash sheets, pay bills, review finances, file paperwork, clean cluttered drawers, sweep patio, etc.
Sunday: Grocery shopping, clean out refrigerator
Daily Cleaning:
- Clean dishes after every meal
- Clean kitchen counters
- Clean bathroom counter
- Spray down shower walls
- Water flowers
Monthly Cleaning:
- Clean ceiling fans and light fixtures
- Wipe down blinds
