My Cleaning Routine

Here is a rundown of my cleaning schedule!  Do I follow this to the letter every day?  No, but this is my formula I follow pretty closely!

Daily:
Load of laundry washed and put away
Dishwasher loaded and unloaded/ dishes washed
Bed Made
Surfaces picked up and organized
Surfaces wiped down (any and every surface)
Trash taken out
Toys, shoes, coats put away, and away and away..
Floors swept
Dusting

Weekly:
Floors mopped
Carpets vacuumed
Couches and ottoman vacuumed
Couch wiped down with damp cloth
Bathroom deep cleaned with bleach
Mirrors wiped down
Sheets washed on hot with bleach
Bleach kitchen sink
Toys Steamed

Bi-weekly:
Scrub down stove top with baking soda
Scrub down kitchen sink with cream cleanser
Run dishwasher and washer with vinegar
Pillow covers washed
Floor mats washed (after being shaken out or vacuumed)
Comforters washed

Monthly or Seasonally (every three months):
You decide depending on how quickly things get dirty
Cabinets cleaned inside and out
Mattress vacuumed and steamed
Oven deep cleaned
Fridge deep cleaned with bleach
Baseboards/ door frames/ doors washed
Lightswitches disinfected, scrubbed with toothbrush
Outlets wiped down
Light bulbs/ fan blades
Blinds vacuumed/ wiped down
Dishwasher filters scrubbed
Window tracks scrubbed
Carpets shampooed (if you have a shampooer!)
Vacuum deep cleaned
Toilet tank scrubbed
Ceiling and walls dusted
Vent covers scrubbed (vacuum out the vent to get a deeper clean)
Pull out furniture/appliances from the wall and clean behind and underneath

Tips:
Work left to right and top to bottom, declutter as you go and organize too.  Stay in one spot at a time until that area is clear and then move to the next spot, don't bounce room to room, it'll make you take much longer.  Happy Cleaning!
