For lots of people, cleaning is just a job that has to be done and something that they don’t look forward to but for others, cleaning can actually be very therapeutic and calming. It may be that you like cleaning certain rooms of your home or that you find some cleaning jobs more enjoyable than others. It is easy to get distracted with the things we enjoy doing and keep putting off the jobs we don’t like. Creating a cleaning schedule will really help keep you on track and can ensure you get everything done that you need to.

Firstly, you need to decide who you are able to allocate jobs too. Even if you have children living in the home, you can often find small jobs that are age appropriate to them. This will not only help to share the load but will also help in teaching them life skills and lessons they can take forward with them as they get older. Make a list of all of the day-to-day jobs that need doping and then split them up in to who is able to do those. It may be that many of the jobs need to be done by the adults of the house, but these can be swapped around to ensure the same person isn’t always doing the same task.
