Rediscovering Domesticity: Cleaning Schedule

Cleaning Schedule

I love to organize.  Do you?  Do you ever get butterflies in your stomach while walking through office supply stores or container stores?  I sure do!  The problem?  Money!

Have you heard of FlyLady?  FlyLady is a great system to get chaos at home under control.  I have used many of her ideas to keep my home clean and organized. 

I am in need of some fresh ideas - creative ideas - inexpensive ideas to get some clutter under control before Baby arrives.  I'm happy to share the ideas I have already borrowed from others over the next few weeks!

How do you keep your home clean and orderly?  Do you use a weekly cleaning schedule?  Do you have any ingenious methods? 

Please share!

I am a FlyBaby, too! The best thing for me is to stick to my morning routine. My day is much better if I make sure to unload the dishwasher while my coffee is brewing. The most important thing I've learned from FlyLady is a better awareness of how long household chores actually take when I am focused. It never takes as long as I think it will to do little things I tend to put off. Lastly, I have fallen off the wagon on this one lately, but doing at least a load of laundry a day is really key to keeping the laundry under control, especially when you add in new baby clothes. I've found when I take a little time in my bedtime routine to make sure I have a load of laundry sorted and ready to go in the washer in the morning, I'm more likely to get it done. I'm looking forward to this series of posts, Audra. I am "fluttering," as they say on FlyLady, and I could use the encouragement of hearing how others do it.

Nothing ingenious here, but the surprisingly simple is what ends up working the best. The little stuff like cleaning as I go while making dinner, or wiping the bathroom down while I brush my teeth. I always forget what Zone we're supposed to be working on. I've started making a prioritized list at the beginning of each week of the jobs that I want to accomplish. I can put as many or as few on there as I'd like and just work through the room(s) that need it the most!
