Cleaning & HouseholdLife Style
don’t think that anyone particularly loves cleaning their house, but unfortunately, it’s a necessity. With the hectic nature of life, it can be easy to let our chores slide. And before we know it, our homes are a complete disaster. However, if you stick to this simple household chore schedule, you’ll never have to be overwhelmed by the thought of a whole-house cleaning.
Do the dishes or load/unload the dishwasher
Wipe down kitchen counters
Wipe down bathroom counters
Sweep or vacuum kitchen floors

If you complete these tasks according to this general schedule, cleaning and maintaining your home will feel a lot less stressful.

Having a clean and tidy home can be easy if you take on your chores in a realistic, efficient fashion.
