Create a Custom Housekeeping Checklist

It's easy to become overwhelmed when thinking about housekeeping chores, but creating a checklist of to-do items makes it easier to take on the task. Creating a house cleaning list and keeping it in you home will ensure that you don't miss a spot and your home is left clean and tidy.

Not many of us enjoy actually cleaning our house, and if you do not employ professional Denver house cleaning professionals your home can be a long process; however, creating a checklist does help cut down on the time it takes to clean all the areas of your home. There are plenty of house cleaning checklists to be found in magazines and online, but making your own checklist will make sure that it is customized to your home's needs. To make your own home cleaning list follow these easy steps:

*Do a walk through of every room in your home and make a list of all the cleaning activities that need to take place in them. The best checklists will help you cover every area of your home so take your time while creating this first list, and make sure to be extremely thorough listing every possible task.

*Once the list of chores is complete, transfer them to the far left column of a hand drawn table, or an excel document. Be sure to omit any duplicates, and leave the first row empty.
 
*Next, type or write the names of the rooms in your home on the top row of every column (leaving the first column blank). 
 
*Decide how often the tasks need to be done in each room, and fill in the table with daily, weekly or seasonal.
 
*Print off or copy several copies of your list and keep them in a visible location. 




Don't forget to schedule days when you don't have any tasks other that your daily cleaning activities.You should have time to sit back and enjoy the fruits of your labor. Housekeeping is a tough job especially when done well.


Creating the most effective and enjoyable house cleaning list needs to be reasonable, so you don't burn yourself out after a couple of tasks. Some Denver maid service companies offer a consultation service that includes a in-home walk through to help create a cleaning list. Only do the amount of cleaning you can handle both mentally and physically. Using your check list while planning your daily, or weekly cleaning schedule will help you complete your chores efficiently leaving you more time to enjoy your newly clean home.
