Our Family System: Part 2

Our Family System: Part 2

Last week I shared the template to our family system. Since then, many mamas have requested to see the specific tasks I included for both maintenance and deep cleaning for each room. While ours is specific to our home and furniture (piano, bookshelves, etc) I think that the concept will probably be helpful. Here are the tasks included for the rooms in our home:

Living Room

maintenance:

vacuum rugs, sweep wood floor, dust furniture, spray/wipe mirror, spray/wipe windows.

deep clean:

wipe baseboards, vacuum under cushions, vacuum and mop under furniture, dust inside bookshelves, organize/tidy bookshelves, organize shoe bin

Dining Room

maintenance:

sweep floors, wipe table, straighten bookshelf, spray/wipe windows, wash chalkboard, dust piano

deep clean:

wipe baseboards, mop floor, wipe down all chairs and bench, wash table top with soap and water, dry table top, wipe down table legs

Kitchen

maintenance:

deep clean:

wash upper cabinet and handles, wash lower cabinet and handles, wash/wipe out bottom of trash can, wash doors to small pantry, wipe out inside of microwave, clean out refrigerator (grown up), mop kitchen floor

Hallway

maintenance:

deep clean:

Bedroom

maintenance:

deep clean:

Of course, each home will look slightly different but these are a few ideas based on the specific system we use in our family. I hope it's helpful!
