Weekly Chores for a Spotless Home

The chores on the weekly cleaning schedule are a bit more time intensive than the daily ones. The payoff is that the additional attention to these areas now means they’ll be easier to clean than if you pushed the task off another few weeks. These are a few things to consider as you do your weekly cleaning:

If you don’t use your microwave regularly, you can get away with cleaning it every other week.

When mopping, start at the farthest corner of the room and move back toward the entrance. Rinse the mop after completing each four-by-four-foot area to keep your water fresh.

To clean mirrors, use a glass cleaner and microfiber cloth (or newspaper), wipe across the mirror in a broad “S” pattern, working from edge to edge, top to bottom.

Don’t forget to dust doors, windowsills, and light fixtures (turn them off first). When dusting, move a microfiber cloth from left to right and top to bottom for the best results.

High-touch surfaces, such as door handles, light switches, and television remotes, are gathering spots for dirt and bacteria. Spray or wipe the surface with a multipurpose cleaner, followed by a disinfectant. Allow it to sit for the recommended amount of time, according to the instructions, then rinse or wipe the surface to remove residue.

While you have the vacuum out, do a quick pass over your drapes and any upholstered furniture.

Dirty cleaning tools only spread grime. Remember to wash microfiber cloths, sanitize your sponges, and wipe the handle and base of your vacuum and clean its filter.

There are so many guides and charts that can and will help you in cleaning. Daily, weekly or monthly. When to clean and what to clean is totally up to you. However, you can also use us to clean the right things at the right time!
