Cleaning Schedule For Mom Of 1

Clean During The Week And Take Off During The Weekends

Molly has found a cleaning schedule that lets her get everything done, still play with her son, and enjoy family time on the weekend. See her cleaning schedule below.

Molly says:

I have one child, my DS, age 4, and am a SAHM.

My cleaning schedule is:

Monday - this is my big cleaning day -- I clean the bathrooms, kitchen, and mop all the floors

Tuesday - dust, vacuum floors, wipe down surfaces

Wednesday - laundry, ironing, change bedding on all beds

Thursday - this is my minor cleaning day, which is a shorter version of Monday

Friday - grocery shopping and other errands

Saturday - any tasks not completed during the week, and about once a month freezer meals

Sunday - day of rest

I also do certain tasks every day, such as tidying up and making beds.

This works best for me because it gets everything done, generally before the weekend so I can spend all weekend with my son and husband without worrying about the house.

In addition, I can do just small parts of the cleaning daily on weekdays so my son and I can spend lots of time together.

Taylor says:

Thanks Molly for telling us about your schedule and routine.

I think it is really helpful to hear what others do to give us ideas for ourselves.

So, do you have a weekly cleaning schedule? If so, share it with us here, or read even more weekly cleaning schedules already submitted here.

Try to keep my weekends free
by: Monica

Mine is separated by day. Monday - bedrooms, Tuesday - bathrooms, Wednesday - kitchen, Thursday - living/dining, Friday - laundry. Then my weekends are free! We do yard work Saturday morning though. Then each afternoon before I start dinner for about 10 minutes I run through the house to pick up the mess the little one made lol.

once a week cleaning, and rest of week maintain
by: Amber

We have set chores we do in the morning and evening. Take care of messes right away. On Wednesday is our cleaning day for all rooms and the rest of the week we maintain. It works out great for us and we seem to have more free time.

hard to get everything done, but hoping few tasks at a time can be managed
by: Jessica

Guess what I have been doing this evening? Creating a new cleaning schedule, because I think I finally found out what suits me and my life to get things done... It's not easy to keep up when you're at work all day, get home late, have to cook dinner...I'm often too tired to start cleaning at 9pm...but with a few tasks at a time I hope I can manage it...

everything stays clean this way most of the time
by: Amanda

I have my chores written down. I have a list of everyday chores and a few for each day of the week. That way I don't run myself ragged trying to clean and surprisingly everything stays clean this way. I can even skip stuff sometimes and have a little break.
