I used to have a lady that came and did all my floors every week
and I kept the rest clean. I may have to do that when I go back to work
but I am going to try a schedule first.
I can clean my upstairs in less than 2 hours so I should be able to
clean it in 20 minute sessions 5-6 times a week. On the week I am
doing the upstairs I will keep the downstairs swept and neat and vice-versa.
For the deep cleaning idea you have I am going to just work that into
the daily cleaning by focusing a bit more on different things when I
go through that room.
Example: Today when I finish the space I vacuumed yesterday I may
wipe the woodwork down a bit. Yesterday when I vacuumed I threw out some junk from my son's room.
I think this may help me declutter also because when I do a space I
will try to follow up with a quick organizing task for that space.
Sorta focuses me intead of seeing a huge house and wondering where to start.
I have ADD and I jump from task to task so much I don't see my
results. This way maybe I will get to see a space cleaner and more organized for my effort.
My laundry gets done here and there as I pass by the laundry room.
I just put in washes/switch loads as I pass by , and I put it away at
night while I watch the news in our bedroom. My kids all do their
own wash so it isn't much anyway. That was the best thing I ever
did.
It warms my heart to hear one kid ask another if they could switch
their clothes to the dryer for them
