Staying Organized: Create a Weekly Cleaning Schedule

ByKmac

Now that the kids are back in school, I am trying to get myself more organized. I feel like I am constantly cleaning or folding laundry so instead of spending the day mopping, doing laundry, dusting and cleaning each room, I set aside at least 30-45 minutes each morning once the kids get on the bus to complete a certain task, before I start work. While there are still things that I need to clean daily like the counter tops and dishes, breaking up the cleaning tasks over a weekly period has helped me focus on getting projects and work done while the kids are in school.

weekly cleaning schedule

Monday: Kitchen

  • Sanitize Countertops
  • Disinfect microwave
  • Wipe down cabinets & fridge
  • (Garbage day) Toss old food & take out garbage

Tuesday: Vacuum & Mop

  • Vacuum each room & mop floors

Wednesday: Bathroom

  • Clean toilet
  • Scrub shower & bathtub
  • Disinfect/wipe down sinks, counters, mirror & fixtures

Thursday: Bedrooms

  • Dust
  • Organize closets
  • Wash sheets & pillowcases

Friday: Office & Living Room

  • Dust
  • Organize
  • Pay any bills that are due

Saturday:

Sunday: Meal Planning & Laundry

  • Plan meals for the week
  • Make grocery list
  • Go grocery shopping

How do you stay organized?

  1. This is a good, comprehensive list. I’ve been thinking about creating a weekly cleaning list recently. Things get dirty enough that I have to spend an entire day cleaning every few weeks, when it would be so much easier to do basic, daily maintenance

  2. i wish i could say that im organized but i am not even though i sometimes try to be.

  3. I like this list since its less overwhelming than trying to clean the entire house everyday. Its a stress-free plan!

  4. I am going to try and i hope that I can stick to it.
