Taking 5 Today...

Taking 5 to organize. I realize I need to organize my house better as well as my cleaning routine these days. I am ready to implement the following into the daily humdrum of life:


Everyday 5 minute jobs:

Bathrooms: swipe toilet, clean mirror, wipe down sink, quick mop floor
Kitchen: sweep/quick mop floor, throw out trash, load dishwasher, hand wash dishes
Dining: quick wipe chairs, table
Living room: pick up loose papers, gather misc. items, dust, quick vac
Car: clean out trash
Garage: take papers inside, put items away in rooms
Bedrooms: put loose laundry in bins, quick clean up
Laundry area: one load in and out a day
All: sanitize door handles


Every week:

Monday: Water plants, clean out car (vac, windows, wash outside if needed)
Tuesday: Heavy duty vac (use the handle on trim, under furniture and couch cushions)
Wednesday: Clean out fridge/pantry, gather trash, set out trash cans (trash is Thur.)
Thursday: Clean windows and mirrors, write and send letters/mail
Friday: Iron, recycle, clean out oven
Saturday: Family project (30 min - 1 hour in morning)
Sunday: Set bags in car/ garage


Once a month:

Go over budget
