Cleaning house is not a thing that brings me great joy. After I’ve finished cleaning then sure, it’s enjoyable, but just the thought of cleaning the whole house can feel overwhelming (can you relate?). However, I’m learning it doesn’t have to be a stressful endeavor.
Letting the mess pile up will actually cause more stress. According to several studies, women who describe their homes as “cluttered” were more depressed and fatigued than those who felt their homes were restful and clean. Yes, cleaning can sometimes feel daunting. But you can do it! Do it for your physical and mental well-being! And hopefully today at Sharing Shine, we can break down the cleaning routine for you. You don’t have to get all your cleaning done in one day. If that causes you great anxiety, why not spread it out throughout the week? Then your list of tasks won’t seem near as lengthy. Here are some ideas we came up with, but find out what works best for you personally.
MORNINGS:
Monday: Laundry
Tuesday: Deep vacuum and mop floors
Wednesday: Clean oven, fridge and microwave
Thursday: Wipe down walls and doors
Friday: Clean mirrors
Remember, find what works for you and your family and then plan out your schedule accordingly. Cleaning doesn’t have to be a nightmare. Take it one task, one day at a time.
