I have a basket in my laundry room where I collect everything. My washcloths all week and that's the last load of laundry I'll do.
I always wash them separately because when you wash them with other clothes they will collect all the lint from that stuff and become ineffective over time, so this is the way I keep them and run them for a long time, we have two sets of sheets and two sets of towels for each of us, but most weeks I just wash all the towels and put them back in the bathroom and wash all the sheets and put them back on the bed. I just discovered that this is the easiest, fastest and most efficient way to manage our sheets and towels.
I change them with the other set, probably once every quarter or so, but on a

weekly

basis that's how I handle them I always get a lot of questions about this little basket that I keep between our pillows we like to keep our remotes in there we have the TV remote and Also one for our bed which is a Sleep Number Bed. The basket keeps them neatly corralled so we can easily find them when we want to use them and also eliminates the problem of accidentally turning on the TV in the middle of the night. Wednesday is the day I like to clean our bathrooms and I usually do things pretty much the same way in the same order just to make things more efficient, so I usually start by spraying the bathtub and do the same on the toilet. so the cleaners I use can start doing their job while I do another

cleaning

in the bathroom lately I have been using a homemade cleaner that contains isopropyl alcohol and essential oils so it does a very good job of disinfecting almost all the surfaces in our home and is safe for things like granite and natural stone, the recipe for this cleaner is in the description box below and I also have my referral link to Grove Collaborative where I purchase the glass bottle, my secret to maintaining fixtures and Keeping our bathroom mirrors free of dirt and water stains is by drying them very well with the E-Cloth window polishing cloth.
I love E-Cloth products and you will see me using them throughout today's video and of course I have a referral link for them in the description. box also in case you are interested in seeing your products,

cleaning

Upstairs I help our son Payton clean his toilet. and the sink cover, but he takes care of the rest of the bathroom cleaning. We have two other bathrooms, one for our son Kyle, who is in college, and a guest bathroom, which are not part of my weekly cleaning schedule because they are not used regularly. so they are cleaned as needed or according to use Thursday is the day I dust and my favorite tool by far is the extendable cloth duster and here I have it removed from the handle but it has a handle that can be extended to reach all the high areas of our house so that with one tool I can take care of practically all the different surfaces and corners of our house, dusting is one of the quickest jobs I have scheduled for the week, so if I have a week busy, this is probably the one I would double with another day just to have a day off or if I had a day where I just couldn't get to everything and with that being said, I loosely adhere to this schedule.
So there are many weeks where I can't do every single thing on the day I plan, but because I do them regularly I can quickly double or even triple different tasks and if something happens and it won't be covered this week, it will be covered next week. , so I don't worry about it, dusting all the shutters in our house is not part of my weekly dusting

routine

. I managed to get to all of them when I cleaned the area. those areas, so it's about eight weeks for each of them, although sometimes when it seems like they need it sooner I do it, but in our master bedroom I really like to do it weekly because this is a room where we spend a lot of time and sleep , so I try to keep this as dust-free as possible and Payton also makes sure to dust the shutters in his room when he does his weekly cleaning.
Friday is the day I vacuum. and mopping and I get help from the Roomba that runs in our main living room and kitchen area because we have a pet that does it without disturbing, it really helps, but on Fridays I like to vacuum the whole house thoroughly and then I continue . mopping and my goal with my weekly cleaning routine is to do as many things as I can during the week to prepare our house for the weekend, we just like to relax and enjoy our time together as a family, we usually do most of our entertaining . on the weekends and that way I don't have to worry about getting the house ready for guests or having anything hanging over my head that will prevent me from enjoying time with a family over the weekend.
I am a work from home mom and a stay at home mom so I understand that this schedule is not going to work for everyone, this is

what

works for me and our family and the goal of this video is simply to share with you

what

I do to that you can encourage yourself to do it. Set a schedule that works for you and your family and your current season or situation in life. I think it's really helpful to make a list of the tasks you want to accomplish on a weekly basis and then schedule them somehow into your weekly schedule so that you can stay on top of things and not always feel like you're behind the eight ball and just scrambling to get things done. catch up and stay on top of things and in today's video you'll just see us doing the cleaning. but my husband does a lot of the outside cleaning and helps me a lot around the house and also our son Payton really helps me clean upstairs, he cleans his room, his bathroom and does most of the dusting and vacuuming the floor above, so I would also encourage you to enlist the help of your family members, if you have them, to help you stay on top of things by seeing the tasks and the plan I have to achieve my routine. weekly cleaning.
I hope it gave you some ideas and some inspiration to create your own list and then schedule it into your week so you can stay on top of everything.
