A little while ago, my engaged friend asked me if I knew of any lesson-a-day type emails (think SAT prep or Merriam-Webster word of the day) for homemaking. I thought that was a great idea but neither of us could find anything like that. I did find a few checklists, though. These look helpful.
- Martha Stewart’s cleaning checklists – including daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonally.
- Good Housekeeping’s cleaning checklist – organized by daily, weekly, monthly, every 3-6 months, and once a year.
- 31 Day House Cleaning Routine – This is a monthly rotation of cleaning tasks to be done each day in addition to basic daily cleaning. I think I’d use this one in conjunction with one of the above lists to break down house cleaning into manageable bits.
Reading about house cleaning and homemaking was really invigorating, actually. Now I’m interested in reading this book.
Do you like to clean? If you live on your own, how easy or hard is it for you to stick to a cleaning routine?
