My house has always been clean and tidy enough on the surface but I have a bad habit of leaving the deep cleaning jobs until they really need done and it takes up so much time and seems daunting to get them done when its a big job. I don't want to be a domestic goddess putting all of my time into house work and just need help to break it down into manageable chunks. DH and I have just separated and the DC's are only 8 and 2 so it all falls to me.
At the moment I'm getting into a better routine so my list is as follows:
Daily-
General tidy of all rooms
Laundry on, hung and put away
Kitchen dishes and worktops washed down.
Toilet seat wiped down.
Wipe down dining table.
Weekly-
Bleach bathroom (toilet, sink, bath, lower tiles)
Hoover upstairs and stairs
Sweep and mop laminate, kitchen, bathroom floors
Dust surfaces, banister, skirting boards.
Monthly-
Inside windows (window cleaner does outers 2 weekly)
Clean microwave
I need to incorporate things like cleaning out cupboards, fridge/freezer, oven to keep on top of these jobs too but how often do you do it?
