Cleaning Schedule for Working Couples

Are you working couple and busy in your daily work. You often get tired after working and feels a lack of motivation to clean the whole house. In this post, you’ll get a proper cleaning schedule for working couples that actually works for every type of busy person or mom and dad.

First of all, let me appreciate both of you because most people don’t clean the house themselves and always hire residential cleaners. You are a different one! You really love to work. No Matter it is small or big.

So, the question is: Is there a cleaning schedule that works for couples who work? 

Yes, indeed! It will take some time to build and make it work for each family and household because we are all different. However, once you’ve created it, you’ll wonder how you ever got by without it.

So, stick to this post if you want to get a proper house/apartment legit daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly and yearly cleaning schedule for working couples which really helps to sparkle the whole house.

Let me start with.

What are the benefits of cleaning schedules?

There will be no more frantic cleaning: If you stick to your cleaning schedule, your house would be fairly clean all of the time and you know everyone loves and appreciates a clean environment.

Share Responsibilities: We normally end up doing all of the cleanings at the house so we know what has been done and what needs to be done. If there is a posted schedule, people can be assigned tasks or pick up tasks that have not been completed.

Less Stress: When the house isn’t clean, it makes us feel obligated to do something, which makes it difficult to relax. Once you’ve completed all the tasks on the daily to-do list, you feel relax and cool.

Saves Time Greater Efficiency: If you don’t have your tasks mapped out, you spend more time figuring out what to do. It is easy to start your plan with all the information provided. Additionally, the schedule between working couples can be customized based on their strengths and availability.

Fighting Procrastination: Having a cleaning schedule and being structured are key to avoiding procrastination.

These are some of the benefits you’ll earn if you follow your house cleaning routine. Once you have formed the habit, cleaning your house becomes easy.

Some of the cleaning schedules you’ve seen might seem to be overly ambitious, implying that cleaning duties will take up all of your free time after work.

And that does not appeal to us in the least. It’s also unrealistic because it’ll easily lead to burnout.

So, how do we manage to keep our house clean when working full-time?

To begin, divide household responsibilities into daily routines, weekly and monthly tasks. Weekly and monthly activities are more abundant, more time-consuming duties that you perform once a week or a month (or less frequently!) to keep your home clean, while daily routines are things you’ll do every day to keep your home clean.

A Daily House Cleaning Schedule

We understand that you won’t be able to complete all of these tasks daily. That’s fine. 

You aren’t flawless (more on that later). However, several everyday activities can help you maintain a clean and tidy house. They take very little time and effort, and they’re usually easy enough to incorporate into your daily routine.

Every day, make your bed. It’s that simple. It’s extremely successful.

Before you both leave for work, do a load of laundry and hang it up when you get home.

Fold laundry after work, when watching your favorite Netflix series.

Maintain a supply of biodegradable wipes in your bathroom and use them to clean surfaces regularly (or as needed).

Dishes should be washed as soon as possible, or stacked in the dishwasher.

Before going to bed, make sure everything is in order. Do a 10-minute clean-up around the house before going to bed. Wipe off the kitchen cabinets, stack books/DVDs, and hang towels.

Use the two-minute rule: if it just takes two minutes, do it right now. Clean a pan. Put your filthy clothes away. Place the recyclables in the recycling bin.

Always clean as you go: This is the simplest way to include cleaning into your daily routine. Instead of leaving your clothes on the floor, pick them up. Clean your kitchen counters as soon as you know they’re dusty, rather than later. While the kettle is heating up, put your clean dishes away.

Daily, go on your entry, also known as the landing strip. File your mail, put your shoes and bags inside, and hang your coat up to dry. It’s easy!

Wearing shoes inside the house is not a good idea. The amount of time you spend washing the floor would be significantly decreased.

In the bathroom, keep a squeegee handy to scrub off the glass regularly. Use handy tools which professionals use during bathroom cleaning.

Blowing floor dirt into the corner of your bathroom (where it appears to accumulate quickly!) with your hairdryer, then sweeping it up with a dustpan and broom is A simple method for keeping your floor.
Before you turn on the tub, drop a few drops of peppermint/eucalyptus oil in it — at the very least, your bathroom will smell new!

Wipe loose food bits from the interior of the oven with a damp sponge. Then, to remove burnt-on grime, use your oven’s self-cleaning feature. Use a heavy-duty scrub sponge and wet, sudsy water to clean your racks in the sink.

Deep clean carpets: If your home has a lot of carpeting, rent or buy a carpet cleaner to get rid of tracked-in dirt and stains.

To avoid stains, deep clean your windows: Grip on the panes and wipe with a microfiber cloth to remove dirt and dust.

Clean around the dryer and vents: Suck up debris with your vacuum’s crevice tool, a lot of excess fuzz can cause house fires!
