Weekly Cleaning Schedule


Pin It
Hi, it's Brenda again.  Sorry it's been a while.  This move has me all messed up!  We've been here about a month now and I still feel so behind! 

One of my biggest problems, although I'm not complaining, is that this house is almost double the size of the old house.  Keeping it clean is quite the job!  So after looking around, mostly on Pinterest, I came up with own weekly cleaning schedule. So far it has worked great!  It has all the chores broken down and divided into days of the week and daily tasks.

 Although I'm still tweeking it a little, I thought I'd share it with you.

Notes:


I couldn't figure out how to add it as a file but you should be able to copy and paste and then adjust it for your household.

Until next time,
Brenda

  9. Thank you! Love it!!! I copied & pasted to a Word Document. Had to delete all of the other blog info that got copied with it, but the schedule was all there. I also had to change my Word Document's margins to Narrow. Once I did, it looked perfect and fit all on 1 page. Also, it is possible to personalize/edit.

  11. I copied the text & pasted it into a word doc. Then adjusted the margins to "Narrow" like someone suggested above & it fit perfectly. I LOVE this schedule! Thank you!
