#CleaningSchedule #CleaningRoutine #MinimalistMom
This is what I’ve been searching for. A cleaning routine that isn’t overwhelming and comes with grace and mercy! I’m a working mom 5 days of the week and my husband and I work opposite hours as one another. Sometimes I’m like a single mom to our two kiddos because of this. Our house cleaner had to stop for awhile so I’m trying to find the easiest way to be able to keep up with cleaning and working and momming and all the things. Thanks for sharing!
Wow, sounds like you are a busy lady! That would definitely be a challenge to work opposite hours of your husband. I know you'll find what works best for your family and remember that even getting everything cleaned once every 2-3 weeks is ok! It's better to do things less frequently with a more realistic expectation than it is to try to do it every week and be overwhelmed :)
I do one deep clean job a week. Maybe the oven, inside fridge or food cupboards, inside bins etc.
I love that idea! Then you don't have to do all your deep cleaning at once!
I totally agree that a weekly cleaning schedule can be stretched to take two weeks ! It depends upon how many children there are in the house dropping food and/or toys , etc., vs having a house with only two retired people in it .
This seems very straight forward when you lay out the bones of the schedule. I've been trying to bring structure in my life and one of the hardest things to do is figure out the bones of the system to make it customizable for myself. It took me ages to figure out the structure that you just laid out so neatly, lol. Great work and ill6be watching your other channels.
I'm so glad you found it helpful! Once you get the structure in place it can feel like things are running on autopilot!
I’m not a mom, but I’m a teacher so I’m pretty busy! Thanks for this helpful video. I’ve been really ignoring cleaning my house and I’m constantly stressed about it. Using my Winter break as a time to reset, get clean and start a new cleaning routine that works for me. 😊
That's awesome that you are using the time to figure out your routine! You've got this!
I get my groceries delivered!
The daily tasks of wiping counters toilets sweeping tidying dishes garbage and then the chore of “ the day “
It’s a lot of work but at least more manageable by the end of the week
Oh nice! I want to do a trial of that and figure out the cost comparison, but I haven't had time yet! Do you find that it is more expensive or ends up being pretty close to the same that you paid before?
That's a lot of daily tasks, good for you! If it ever seems like too much you can always spread things out over a few days instead of doing all of that every day :)
This was by far the best and most practical cleaning schedule advice I have ever had you’re the best 🥰
So glad you found it helpful!
I think the most important part of cleaning is doing what works for you. I feel like cleaning is a never ending ending chore when I do it multiple days a week. However, I know people who clean one room a week, and it works out great for them. I like the way you encourage people to scrap plans that aren’t working for them. There really isn’t a right or wrong schedule, so it is nice that you pointed that out. Also, WHO said to clean windows every week? Where I live, it is done a few times a year! I am not opening my windows and cleaning then when it is 20 degrees outside and snowing! Lol.
I agree, you have to find what works for you, your family, your house, and even what you want your house to look and feel like!
For real, I definitely don't have any time to clean my windows, that much 😂
Thanks for your schedule. I still have problems keeping up my house. Shopping also exhausts me, my husband takes this chore, he loves looking for deals,,so it works for us!
You're welcome! It definitely takes some time to figure it out and decide what works best for you. That's nice that your husband helps out with the shopping, I hand that chore to mine on our busy weeks too!
I loved this the most helpful and realistic so far. I'm going to start a schedule also
I'm so glad you found it helpful!
this is so simple and makes so much sense! Often times, I find other ways of doing routines very complicated. This is great!!!
Can't wait to try out this method for my weekly chores.
Hi Kaitlyn! I'm so glad this will help you simplify! I can't wait to hear how it works for you. Keep me posted!
Thanks so much. Wow really you had the time to be clear with each point and have clear expectations!! I will try this week and see what happens!
Not even a mom, but I'm loving this videos bc I work as an Airbnb cleaner hehe
Haha, awesome! Glad it was helpful!
This is great! I like this method - you can look at other's ideas of cleaning schedules but make it work for you and your family. Thanks for sharing!
I'm glad it was helpful for you!
You make a lot of sense, thank you for sharing this! Definitely checking out your laundry routine. I agreed with so much you said. We have three levels and each can go different lengths of time before vacuuming. The middle floor is no less than weekly, top floor no less than monthly, but the finished basement is good to sit pretty at as-needed vacuuming. It would be a waste to vacuum every floor every week just because, who has time for that!! Thanks again!
You are so welcome!
Super pumped! I downloaded your template and am so excited to start putting together my personalized cleaning routine! Thanks for the awesome resource!
Awesome! Let me know how it goes!
Your routine is wonderful. The simpler it is, the more likely it is to get it done. I especially love your weekend focus on family, social activities and getting rested and refreshed. Another way to clean might be to focus on one area a day and do just what really needs to be done in that area (i.e. Monday-bedrooms, Tuesday-bathrooms, Wednesday-kitchen and Thursday-living areas. Friday can be shopping, errands and bill paying. This, combined with a daily routine that includes keeping the clutter at bay and doing laundry might work well for some.
I love the alternate focus areas that you suggested! That could also work really well!
Thank you ms. Kassy. I'll have to give it a try. Mom of two teenagers. Will have them help out as well. God bless you and your family.
You're welcome, Barbara! Yes, definitely get the teenagers involved in the chores :) I find it helps to coordinate the kid's cleaning schedule with the parent's cleaning schedule so the family is all working in the same area of the house. Then you can chat and hang out together as you do your work!
Great video! Thanks for sharing your tips!
You are so welcome!
You are a lifesaver! This is the video I have been searching for!! Thank you so much!
You're so welcome! Glad I could help!
I liked when u said i take Saturday off to relax and rejuvenate other people don’t even mention this so ur very smart lady thanks for that advise i agree100%
Yes, taking a day off is so helpful!
I feel like I'm cleaning all day everyday and non stop.
I'm looking for a way to actually have FUN with my toddler and BOND. I don't think it's fair for dad to have all the fun while I'm constantly cleaning up after the two of them.
I want a schedule of cleaning that will give me time with my child AND a clean home.
I'm sorry you feel that way! You could definitely divide up the cleaning between the two of you so that you each have time to play with your toddler. Have you had a chance to check out the series I did on easily managing your home? Some of the videos might help you divide up your duties between you are your husband and figure out an easy cleaning routine and schedule. Here is a link to the series if you want to check it out: ruclips.net/video/HhYFznxdMB0/видео.html
Awesome video! Thanks
My pleasure!
Fellow SDA here. 👋🏽 I just found this video and it was very helpful! I will be starting my new routine this week. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Let me know how it goes for you!
Great Great video thank you 😊😊❤️🇬🇧
Glad you found it helpful!
Oh my…yes! Thank you for breaking it down and simplifying things. I will most certainly give this a try. I do wonder..when do you wash walls…spring cleaning etc thank you 😊
Hi Tiffany, glad you found it helpful! I actually have a video where I show you how you can make time to get your spring cleaning done. Here is the link: ruclips.net/video/mM917a7ff7Y/видео.html
These are all great tips! I especially like the idea of not cleaning all in one day. You're right!
1) If you do everything all in one day, you're probably going to get burnt out or not get started at all because you know it's going to take so long.
2) I didn't even think of this part. If you do everything once a week, your home is going to start to look messy by day 4 or 5
Thanks for sharing, John! Glad you found this video helpful!
New subscriber!! Thanks 🙏
Welcome!
Hi, just stumbled across your video and keen to try this method. I also factor grocery shopping into a weekly task and it exhausts me too, not to mention getting all the groceries back home, unpacked and put away properly. Glad I’m not the only one😂
I'm glad I'm not the only one too 😂 Let me know how you like the method!
In my experience, it’s not really the size of the house that’s an issue, but the foot traffic.
I love that you put the half bath cleaning twice.
Yes, that's a great way of putting it!
Grocery shopping is a big chore for me too.It wears me out.
Glad I'm not the only one! 😆
Are u a sabbath keeper too? I love the rest!
Yes I am, it is so nice to have a day off!
The hardest thing for me to keep up on is cleaning my refrig.
That can be a big challenge! One thing that helped me stay on top of the fridge was only grocery shopping for one week at a time. Every week before I put my groceries away I clean out the fridge, wipe down all of the shelves, and only keep in the fridge what I know we will use each week.
Wish I could get my kids to made there beds each morning been trying for a few years and still nothing lol my eldest is 12 and still gets asked to make he's bed haha
Haha, I feel like being a mom is repeating the same things every day to your kids! I don't know if it would help your kids, but putting together a chart like I talk about in this video really helped mine: ruclips.net/video/dUmpHtwEDos/видео.html. I also added a bonus if they get through their checklist without me having to nag them about it. They can choose from several bonus options that I give them, like staying up 15 minutes late, getting to play a board game before bed, getting to facetime a friend, etc. The bonus option really made them self-motivated!
I seriously heard that as "making time for gay girls" 😅 RUclips iPhone app chops the user name off.
Great video by the way - I have adhd & depression and it really doesn't work to let it pile up. Don't have energy for all that. Little and often feels more doable.
Haha! Thanks for the comment!
Okay trash with a family of 5 HAS to be taken out daily. Or else it will fall on the floor Hahaha
Haha!
What religion are you?
Hi Amy! I'm Seventh-day Adventist, so we go to church on Saturday and most Adventists don't work from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday. But it's nice to take a day off from your work no matter which day you choose to do it :)
