GAME PLAN FOR DAILY CLEANING Daily Double Team No matter what you are doing, clean as you go. Bedrooms: Make your bed as soon as you get up. Always put your dirty clothes directly in the hamper when you change, and hang up and put away clean clothes. The treadmill is not a closet; so don’t treat it like one. Kitchen: Clean as you cook and don’t ever put anything down in the sink. Plates should go directly from the table to the dishwasher, and so should pots and pans. You can also wipe down countertops while you’re brewing your morning coffee and the microwave right after you use it. Bathroom: Wipe down sinks and mirrors as you brush your teeth (you only need one hand for each task). Spray and scrub down the bathtub as soon as you’re finished with your shower or give the toilet a quick cleaning with the toilet bowl cleaner. Living Rooms/Family Rooms/Toy Rooms: Set ground rules and stick to them. One movie at a time, one book at a time, and one bin of toys at a time; and when you’re finished, put it away before you get a new one out. Picking up seems like an obvious daily cleaning tip however, more of our “cleaning” time is spent actually picking up and putting things away, so why not do it right away? Teamwork If you have the manpower, cleaning always happens faster and more efficient as a team. We as a family in my household. We do dishes, laundry, vacuuming and dusting in teams. Everyone, including the kids, are responsible for taking their own plates to the dishwasher, putting their own clothes in the hamper, making their beds and picking up their toys. Give the kids the chance to help with household chores so that they know that they are part of the family team and that everyone is working together to keep the house clean. Always try to keep it fun by playing games and have cleaning competitions as you go. Simply follow these easy steps to create a winning combination of a tidy and happy home.
