Working as a childminder and having a toddler myself causes a lot of mess and dirt. This means I really need to keep on top on the cleaning. I do, however, avoid doing it when the babies/toddlers are awake, so I do most of my cleaning during nap-time and in the evenings.
In the past, I was either doing too much cleaning or not enough, which is why I came up with a weekly routine, doing a little bit each day and making it more manageable. Call me anal, but it works so much better!!! I don't include things like making beds, emptying bins or unloading the dishwasher in the list, as these are always done daily anyway.

Do you do your cleaning all in one day or do you spread it out during the week like me?

I have broken my cleaning down into hourly slots then do these when I can. No set rota. I like to be thorough rather than quick, so the order is prioritised by what is the worst gets done first
ReplyDeleteGood idea!! With toddlers its easier to fit in an hour here and there! xx
