Ok I am terrrible with consistency in my housework, I am FOREVER trying to come up with systems that will get me more on the ball. I usually have one big day where I do EVERYthing but because it turns out being a huge day, I put it off.
SO I have come up with this little-a-day system that just may work.
I assign a task to each day of the week (except Sunday) beginning with the letter of that day.
Here is my idea:
Monday - Menu planning (and grocery shopping)
Tuesday - Toilet areas (toilet, bathroom, laundry)
Wednesday - Washing (well, main washing day, will still have to do a load here and there throughout the week, but this is the day where the laundry will be EMPTY! Amen to that!!)
Thursday-Tidying up (a general day where I can tidy clothes that have piled up, clean out my pantry or tidy Hanny's room etc)
Friday- Floors (Vacc and Mop)
Saturday - Shower and Sheets (Scrub the shower and change all the linen)
I only see 2 issues
1. I want to clean my toilet more than once a week. Although u can get those cleany thingys that float in your cistern, can't you?
2. There is no day for dusting. But lets be honest, is that really a problem?? hehe I HATE dusting so I avoid it like the plague. Maybe I can do it on my general tidy day. hmmm. I just don't want each day to be too huge and I reckon dusting needs a day of its own...
What do you think? Do you guys clean bit by bit, day by day or do it in big chunks?
And what's your best tip for organisation and cleaning routine around the house?

LOVE your thinking girl ...
Buy the pine-o-cleen wipes for the toilet. Lave them in your toilet and wipe down every day or couple of days / very handy when you live with all boys! LOL .. well thats my problem!
I tend to at least tidy daily. My floors get vacuumed like 2x a day but I have a baby crawling ... And prob once a week / maybe twice I will do a huge clean.
WASHING - I throw it on the laundry floor and hope it goes away. hehehe
BUT am going to try this system ... I like. Great post to help us mummy's out!
OOoh love a good cleaning routine - not that i stick to one! Well sorta. Dean takes the car on Mondays so I can't go anywhere - this means I stay home and clean! Then on Tues I finish up the washing etc and mop as the kids aren't home, before I go out for the day... it sometimes works, but in all honesty my laundry is never empty!!! Loveya xx
Love the pine-o-clean idea trace, I'm going to do it. Half the pain of cleaning is getting everything out. If they are already there it will be so quick and easy to upkeep. Thanks, great tip! :o)
