A Weekly Cleaning Plan

A Weekly Cleaning Plan

Let’s talk about a different way to organize our cleaning habits. Most times we feel overwhelmed and don’t know where to start, so we don’t. Or, we start in the same place each time and never get to different rooms or tasks. Creating a plan for each day will help spread your “cleaning love” around the house.

Let me give you a few suggestions, you create whatever system works best for you! It’s your home for your family, so remember this great thought from Marla Cilley, The Flylady, “Housework done incorrectly still blesses your family.” There isn’t a wrong way, just get cleaning! You will feel so much better when your done!
