Easy Stay At Home Mom Cleaning Schedule

If you need a realistic stay at home mom cleaning schedule that is easy to maintain, then you’ve come to the right place.

We all have different thresholds for how clean we like our house! I’m a bit of a neat freak, and it affects my mood if my house is consistently messy or dirty.

It’s easy to maintain a spotless house when little ones don’t trail behind you and almost immediately mess up that very thing you just cleaned! And it’s tempting to think, “I don’t even know why I clean this house at all! Forget it!”

But let me encourage you by saying, “Don’t strive for perfection!” It’s an illusion and it will drive you insane. Realistically keep your house clean according to what feels right for you and your family.

Having a cleaning schedule gives you a healthy framework to set goals for yourself and maintain a clean home. If you’re like me, you may find it incredibly motivating to check off a small task each day that you successfully achieved!

Why create a stay at home mom cleaning schedule?

The hardest thing with keeping a clean house is how quickly the mess can spread. But when you stay motivated to tackle those daily, weekly, and monthly cleaning tasks, you’ll find that you can manage the messes a lot better.

Plus, doing a little bit of cleaning every day establishes a routine. And especially for stay at home moms, it will also be a reminder to your kids that taking care of the home is part of the family’s daily schedule. I definitely recommend getting the kids involved in helping clean the house as well!

Lastly, creating a cleaning schedule allows you to see all of your cleaning tasks at one time, broken down into manageable pieces.
