How to Create Cleaning Schedules for the Whole Family

 

Spring is finally here! And so, it's time to start planning for some spring cleaning. Pick a day or two that works for everyone in your household and assign some age-appropriate chores for any younger kids who want to help out too. Putting this all together might seem complicated, but it's a lot easier than you may think! Here are some of the best ways to create a cleaning schedule that works for the whole family this spring.

 

Write Everything Down

Plan out the day first by writing down everything you know needs to be done. Which areas of your home were neglected the most during winter? Which chores do you think each person in your home can handle? Once this is mapped out, you'll have a better idea of where to start.

Assigning Chores

When it comes to getting everyone in your household involved, you should keep in mind each person's age and preference! Here are some suggestions:

Adults: The adults of the house can tackle the more complex cleaning tasks. For example, they can handle the bleaching and washing of the bathroom. Or special cleaning of hardwood floors, kitchen appliances, sinks, fridge cleanout, yard work, and decluttering of important rooms throughout the house.

Teens: Set your teen on some basic everyday chores such as vacuuming, organizing miscellaneous items around the house, sweeping, cleaning their room, helping with the laundry, and helping with any family pets.

Kids: The little ones in the house don't need to feel left out during spring cleaning! They can be encouraged to take on some simple tasks such as dusting, helping with the family pet, organizing toys and rooms, and deciding what toys they might want to give away this year.

 

And You're Good To Go!

Once you know what kind of chores everyone in your household can take on and what needs to be done, you can create your schedule from there! And remember always to make it fun. Play music while you work, or make a game out of it for the little ones. Anything you can think of that might make the day a little more exciting is a great way to ensure the whole family will be ready for spring cleaning again next year.

And don't forget to ask for help when you need it. If your air ducts need a complete cleaning, or your attic and crawlspace have seen better days after months of neglect, calling a professional is the best way to ensure you and your family breathe easier this year.
