Tuesday I usually vacuum and sweep and mop the whole house. It used to be Thursday, but piano lessons became the priority this year so I switched it up. I seem to like it better actually earlier in the week because I feel like it stays cleaner longer and the weekend dirt gets picked up faster. But whatever day works best for you, I'm merely suggesting a weekly routine with just 1 big job a day. Then you can keep up on the clutter and other daily messes. And no I don't just sweep my kitchen once a week. :) That is one of the kids chores/daily (sometimes twice, sometimes thrice).

Let them help. Just being consistent with a weekly cleaning routine helps them to know what is expected.
Then someday it will lead into them doing it themselves which saves you alot of time. |

| This little guy loves to help mop bathrooms. Sometimes I think he is better at it than I am. |

| So whether you have big helpers or little helpers, everyone can help vacuum. Even if it's just their own room. |
My children LOVE to clean the bathtub--I let them put on their bathing suits and hand them a spray bottle full of vinegar water and let them spray and scrub to their heart's content.
ReplyDeleteIt is all about the routine they learn in their early years.
Love the pictures. :)
I could be more consistant that is for sure! Thanks for the reminder.
