Every home needs to follow a routine to stay organized, from what to eat for dinner to where each family member is going. There is also the matter of keeping the house clean.
In order to best promote a clean and healthy lifestyle, cleaning tasks must be completed daily, weekly, monthly, and periodically. We will release our house cleaning checklists for each of these categories over the coming weeks, starting with the monthly ones since we find that these are the most difficult to keep up with.
The following is a list of the rooms and the entire house that we clean each month. As we constantly examine and update our listings, comment if there are any other items you would want to include.
