1. Cleaning Schedule aids Orderliness

A cleaning schedule helps you to create a good system for cleaning tasks within the household. (Your cleaning schedule should be pasted somewhere all the members of the household can mark or check when they have completed their tasks for the day). Upon the completion of a task, the schedule table should be marked ‘done’ or ‘completed’, so that one person doesn’t have to redo what someone had done, however after cleaning there could be dirt where you had already cleaned, but in such case, most of the cleaning required will be minimal.

2. Efficiency

With a cleaning schedule, tasks are planned, you know when and what to do at a particular time. If there is any special equipment and product for the tasks that you are planning to carry out, you will be able to make provisions before the day you need it.

Time management is very important, so you will not have to spend most of your day cleaning. We know you may have other engagements for the day.

3. Cleaning schedule prevents procrastination

Procrastination is more or less time-wasting, we sometimes postpone cleaning tasks for no good reason, we sometimes feel there will be a next time to do something and end up not getting another convenient time to do those tasks.

The cleaning schedule helps you to prevent an unnecessary postponement of the cleaning you ought to do. If you have a smartphone you can go a step further by synchronizing your cleaning schedule with your google calendar, so that you can get prompt reminders.

4. Cleaning schedule prevents idleness

Every member of the household becomes more responsible with the use of time if you have a cleaning schedule, it helps you to share responsibilities between the members of your household. You will be amazed at how efficient they will be if someone is giving a responsibility to clean a certain area of the house.

Some parents even go as far as grading the cleaning that was done by their children, it is an interesting strategy to keep every member of the household busy.

5. Cleaning schedule prevents panic cleaning

Your home will rarely look unkempt if you have a cleaning schedule because you will always be on top of your cleaning tasks. While trying to clean under intense pressure you can end up damaging things in the house. Out of anxiety to get your kitchen or dining all set up for your guest you can accidentally get some of the glassware broken or even injure yourself.
