1. Make your bed every day

If you want to have a more productive day, make your bed. Making your bed every day will help you start your day off on the right foot.

It’ll be a quick reminder that a simple task that takes just a few seconds can make a big impact.

Not when you feel like it, but every day. If you start to make your bed every day,

And, let me tell you. It does make a room look clean, and get your day started right.

2. Use a planner or make lists

It’s good to have a checklist to keep you on track. But, remember that you are the master of your list. It’s not the master you!

Don’t put more on your to-do list than you can do in a reasonable amount of time. Do the most important things first. And if you don’t cross everything off

3. Create a cleaning schedule

I’m not perfect at keeping my home all-time clean, but I make it a priority to keep home clean, tidy, and clutter-free many times a day.

So I prefer to have some dedicated time to clean my house daily, and it should be simple to follow.

As a busy Working Mom, sticking to a cleaning routine may not always be possible.

It can feel impossible to balance keeping a clean, organized home with making time for your family as a working mom.

How to create a simple daily cleaning for busy working moms that works?

The only way to accomplish a good cleaning routine is to make it a part of your everyday habits.

4. Clean as you go

This is the secret to keeping a clean home as a working mom

Cleaning as you go throughout your day will make your life so much easier. And, it doesn’t feel like cleaning when you do it either.

The clean-as-you-go method involves taking opportunities to clean continually throughout.

This clean-as-you technique is very useful while you cook in the kitchen, and this is my favorite thing to do to make my kitchen all-time clean.

Start clearing off any clutter that started accumulating as you get ready to make dinner. Put away papers, throw away junk and put toys back where they belong.

Make sure as you wind down for the night that everything is put away and nothing is left on your kitchen counter that shouldn’t be there!

5. Do a load of laundry each day

Try doing a load of laundry every day instead of letting it pile up all week and spending the whole day doing laundry.

I know no one likes to do laundry, but doing it every day ensures that laundry doesn’t become a thing.

There is always more laundry to do, and when you’re looking at a huge pile of laundry it can feel impossible to get under control. Again, doing it this way ensures laundry isn’t a whole separate chore you have to do.

Get in the habit of throwing in a load each morning and putting it away each evening or vice versa.

It’s just easily incorporated into your everyday routine.

6. 15-minute clean-up routine

How can you clean my house in 15 minutes? What is the best cleaning schedule? Maintain a clean home using this 15-minute cleaning routine.

You simply have everyone do a quick 15-minute clean-up session before settling in for the evening. This can be picking up toys off the floor, or clearing off a workspace.

I’m honestly telling you that you can follow the same daily cleaning routine I do and have a nice, clean home with very little effort on your part.

This 15-minute cleaning routine can save a lot of time for busy people and this will be perfect for busy moms!

7. Prioritize the most important task first.

We can certainly all come up with a mile-long list of chores to complete mostly around the house.

We do, however, appreciate family time and wish to concentrate on more than just your house.

It’s critical to recognize that you’ll not have been able to complete everything on your to-do list.

8. Go to bed with a clean kitchen every night.

This one is so important. There’s nothing worse than waking up to a messy kitchen. It makes you feel defeated before you even begin.

If your kids are old enough, this is a great way to let them help you.

Sure, the house is going to get messy again today, but you’ll do the same 10-minute clean-up in the evening as the night before so it doesn’t get out of hand.

Make it a habit to check the room before you leave and put it back the way you found it.

Then when you’re in the room the next time you won’t be overwhelmed by the clutter or mess since everything is back in its proper place.

9. Create a morning routine and stick to it

Routines are important for the busy working mom. Depending on your schedule and how you can rearrange your mornings, waking up earlier and having a good morning routine will help you.

Stick to a Practical Working Mom Morning Routine and find some time for yourself and get the things done around your house.

My daily morning routine helps me feel that I am in control of my experience that day and it helps me stay focused on my work tasks while being a reasonably pleasant mom.

10. Follow the Golden Rules of Housekeeping

stick to the following golden cleaning rules, and you will achieve safe, effective cleaning that attacks the problem early and with the least amount of effort.

Clean it up sooner than later.

Clean from the top down.
Think dry, then wet.
Let time do the work for you.

Carry your supplies with you.

If you follow these rules it makes life easier.

Final Thought

Every area of your home may not be cleaned in the way in which you would have done it. Getting into a routine will help and staying on top of cleaning is key.

Never sacrifice family time to clean your house or for any household chores.

Don’t put more on your to-do list than you can do in a reasonable amount of time. Do the most important things first.

And if you don’t cross everything off – it’s okay! By following these secrets to keeping a clean house, and creating a cleaning schedule that works for your busy family.
