House Cleaning Schedules

Families that make house cleaning schedules often meet with the greatest success at keeping their homes neat and welcoming. Everyone in the family needs to understand that this schedule is just as important as the schedule of sports matches, play rehearsals, work, and school. When everyone joins together and commits to keeping the schedule and helping others clean, no one will get resentful or sullen, no one will be surprised when something needs to be done, and all necessary tasks will get done.

Post your schedule on the fridge. You can also set up a computer calendar program to remind family members of their cleaning responsibilities when they log on to their user account. Reminders can pop up on screen or can be sent via email.

With some tasks, you might choose to have a little leeway in the schedule. For example, a busy teenager could know that she has to wash the windows sometime between Wednesday and Friday, but it’s up to her exactly when. Separating tasks that are not dependent on each other makes this easier–if the windows are being washed every two weeks, it doesn’t really matter whether they get done on the same day that someone else is running the vacuum or dusting the bookshelves.

Your family should make the house cleaning schedule together, which will also contribute to making sure everyone has a positive attitude about their responsibilities. If someone likes or wants a particular job that no one else wants, then it can be that family member’s “specialty.” If, however, multiple people like to vacuum and no one wants to mop the floors, you can get together as a family and draw straws and determine a fair rotating schedule so that no one feels slighted.
