How to Create a Simple Daily Cleaning For Busy Working Moms that Works?

Here you have 4 Steps to Create a Cleaning Schedule

1. Prioritize Your Tasks

By implementing prioritization strategies, you can drastically change the your workday to make the most of your time in the office and at home.

As you start crossing these things off your list, you’re going to feel great, and that will motivate you to keep going through your to-do list.

Use a daily checklist to help you get the most out of each day. 

2. Be Realistic with Your Time 

As busy working moms, we have a lot of things to do daily.

I feel like finishing the whole task, but I never completed it in my life, and it makes me more exhaustive!

Over-scheduling your day will mean that you’re increasing the odds of not finishing what you want to do and ending up with feelings of frustration and sadness.

Give yourself some grace. It’s better to give yourself more time for specific tasks vs. not enough time. 

3. Block scheduling (time blocking)

Also called time blocking, block scheduling is allocating large chunks of time to related tasks. Block scheduling systems increase productivity, and they will make your life better!

Time blocking is such an excellent tool for busy moms.

If you block a schedule, then you can create a schedule that prioritizes your tasks and the time you’re going to assign for that specific task.

4. Create a Morning and Evening Cleaning Routine 

Having a good morning and evening cleaning routine that works for you is an amazing life hack!

Your cleaning can be broken down into three times: morning, evening, and then whenever you fit in a 30-45 minute cleaning session. 

 It creates a routine that works well for you and leaves you feeling accomplished but not overworked or stressed.

Create a way that works for you, and this goes for your cleaning routine too. Break it down. 

My Simple Daily Cleaning Schedule

Some people are the type who wait until it’s messy, then they go for whole dirty house cleaning.

Others create some monthly or weekly cleaning schedule, and they follow it. This means the house never really has a chance to get messy.

It’s all about our choices, likes, dislikes, priorities! I’m a person with routines.

Keep your MUST-DO list short and sweet. I created must-to-do lists for morning cleaning and evening cleaning. Here are my lists:

Morning Cleaning Routine:

• Make bed
• Wash dishes
• 10-minute kitchen clean up 
• Prep Dinner
• Complete 1 Load of Laundry
• Remove trash

Evening Cleaning Routine:

• Kitchen quick clean (dishes, counters, table, floor)
• declutter main traffic areas
• put laundry away from morning 
• Quick floor clean (vacuum or broom)

Some things are going to have to be cleaned every day, such as countertops and dishes.

However, maintaining a weekly cleaning schedule has proven to be helpful when it comes to establishing a clean home.

This Simple and Realistic Weekly Cleaning Routine is amazing for busy working moms.

My Weekly Cleaning Routine

Monday: Change out the bed sheets

 Tuesday: Do a load or two of laundry

Wednesday: Dust the counters, living room, etc.

 Thursday: Vacuum or mop floors

Friday: Clean the bathroom

If you only have time to clean on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, you can grab tasks to combine from any of the days listed above.

Depending on how much time you have available to clean during the week, you may be able to tackle more than one weekly task per day. 

A weekly cleaning schedule works!

Cleaning Tips

• Do a 10-minute clean-up. Set a timer for 10 minutes and tidy up as much as you can. Once that timer goes off, move on to something else. 
• Invest in cleaning products and tools that you will enjoy using. Stop buying unwanted and fewer quality products.
• I usually use good-smelling products. I know they are good to use; it motivates me to clean my home without stress.
• Do laundry almost every single day. I start a load either in the morning or in the evening schedule. 

Juggling work while keeping the house clean might be difficult.

You may have the most challenging job, yet you still have a big part in doing household chores. 

I hope these daily cleaning schedules for busy and working moms can help you.

Conclusion

The secret to having and maintaining a clean house is to do it often and in as little time as possible. Having a clean and more organized home is possible.

When it comes to cleaning and tidying up your house, a little, every day goes a long way.

You don’t have time to spend hours every day cleaning.

It’s just a matter of having a cleaning schedule, a few cleaning tips, and tricks, and some organizational ideas to help you get it done.

I hope these schedules help you feel more in control, and they help you feel less stressed about your cleaning routine.

Make sure you are taking care of yourself too because all the time cleaning wouldn’t make you good! Daily clean-up should be simple, and it wouldn’t be a stressful routine!
