Achieve Clean Serenity This Summer with More Grime Than Time
The summer means more outings with friends and family. But those adventures can mean more yucky stuff gets tracked through your house than usual. Still, it’s hard to stick to a cleaning routine during the summer.
You don’t want to be stuck inside doing housework. You need to simplify your summer chores. Here’s how to do that.
More Grime Than Time’s summer cleaning tips keep your home fresh and orderly without a serious time investment. Also, having us come in regularly can help. We make homes sparkle in no time.
Create an Effective Home Cleaning Schedule
If you want to simplify your summer chores, make a schedule of your household cleaning tasks. Make a list of the chores that you want done without fail.
Divide them into weekly and daily tasks to avoid unnecessary work.
Jobs like doing the dishes, cleaning the counters, and taking out the trash keep the house smelling pleasant because they continually remove decaying items and spills. Classify those as daily tasks. Weekly tasks might include washing the bed sheets, dusting, vacuuming, and cleaning the shower. And designate a spot for mail and packages so they don’t pile up.
Make sure to keep this schedule posted so everyone can see it. This process streamlines your workload. Your stress will decrease instantly.
Delegate Tasks Among Household Members
Having a schedule doesn’t mean the chores will get done. You have to assign the chores to your household. Everyone is good at different things and has varying preferences when it comes to chores, so keep that in mind when you delegate these tasks.
Availability also impacts how you assign the chores. Someone who is home more often might be better for daily tasks such as garbage disposal because it’s not time-intensive. Someone who stays away from home a lot might be better for a longer task, such as seasonal yard maintenance, that’s performed less frequently.
Everyone should understand you want them to put their dishes away after using them. Clarify that they should also keep their rooms clean and organized, too. Each person can organize their personal space as they like.
Incentivize Cleaning Tasks
Even though you've assigned the tasks, there's no guarantee that the summer frame of mind won't make your family members forget what they're supposed to do. That's why you need a backup plan. We recommend incentivizing the chores.
For example, you can turn the chores into a competition. If the kids are up for alternating tasks, you can time them to see who gets their work done the fastest. The winner can pick the place for the next dinner outing or earn some extra cash in their allowance.
Adults need motivation, too. Think about the things that you and your partner never treat yourself to. You can schedule a day of no chores, a nap time session, or a special shopping spree.
