Home Cleaning Schedule
Stay on top of home cleaning with my easy-to-follow weekly and monthly cleaning schedule! From daily tidying to deep cleaning tasks, keep your home clean and stress-free.
Caring for my home is a way to show my family that I love them. The Lord blessed us with our beautiful home and I want to steward it well, this schedule helps me to do that!
If you’re wondering why I find it SO beneficial to have a cleaning schedule to follow, here’s why:
Stays Organized & Consistent – A schedule helps break tasks into manageable chunks, preventing overwhelming deep cleans.
Saves Time & Effort – Cleaning in small, regular sessions is easier and more efficient than waiting until everything piles up.
Reduces Stress & Anxiety – A clean home creates a more relaxing and inviting space, improving mental well-being. A clean home = a clean mind.
Makes Deep Cleaning Easier – By keeping up with routine cleaning, deep cleans become less daunting and more manageable.
Creates a Routine & Habit – Following a schedule turns cleaning into a habit, making it feel less like a chore.
Of course, my schedule may not fit your needs and schedule for your season of life. I’m a working stay-at-home-mom and have found that this schedule helps me to keep my home tidied up in a way that doesn’t cause me stress everyday because a clean home = a clear mind in my opinion.
