Option #2 – One chore per hour – Many of the Spring cleaning chores we do are repeated from room to room so rather then doing a room by room cleaning try picking a chore for each day by creating a list of the various chores you would like to accomplish through out your Spring cleaning.
Some of those chores may include washing the windows, dusting your home from top to bottom, dusting baseboards, thoroughly cleaning your appliances, vacuuming including under furniture etc. Schedule one chore per day and spend one hour working on that chore going from room to room. Some chores may take more than one day, you may want to schedule two days for those chores.
Option #3: Family Hour – Get the whole family involved in the Spring cleaning process. Make a list of chores that other family members can assist in, then schedule multiple Spring cleaning days assigning family members one hour each of chores.
Be sure to assign age appropriate chores, this is a great opportunity to begin teaching younger children how to clean. Click here for a list of age appropriate chores.
Tips:
Use a portable kitchen timer and set it for 60 minutes. This helps to keep you on task knowing the timer will go off in 60 minutes whether the you are done or not.
Create a Spring cleaning kit so that you have all of the items you will need for cleaning in one place include in it cleaning supplies, garbage bags, portable kitchen timer, your task check list and any additional items you will need.
Be realistic in your planning schedule your one hour Spring cleaning on the days that you know you can commit to one hour of cleaning to assure a successful Spring cleaning.
