Distributing Home Cleaning Duties Throughout the Week: The Genies Guide

Cleaning your home doesn't have to be a tiring and daunting task only for you to do on the weekends. Guess what? You have seven days in the week to spread the cleaning duties and make the process much easier, manageable, and less time-consuming. With this Genies guide that we have crafted for you to ease your burdens you will see how you can maintain your home in a constant state of cleanliness and also enjoy throughout the week. Without further ado, this is how you should distribute your cleaning chores from Monday to Sunday. 

Monday: Kick Off with the Basics

Begin your week by managing the basic tasks that set the tone for a clean and organized home. On this day spend some time dusting surfaces, wiping down kitchen counters, and straightening up any clutter that accumulated over the weekend. This light start will make the rest of the week's tasks feel less overwhelming.

Pro Tip: Try using a microfiber cloth to dust; it traps particles instead of just moving them around, which keeps surfaces cleaner for longer. 

Tuesday: Tackle the Toilets

It's time to focus on the bathrooms on Tuesdays. Scrub the toilets, clean the sinks, and mop the floors. Do you have multiple bathrooms? Consider cleaning one thoroughly each week and doing just the basics in the others to keep everything manageable. 

Pro Tip: Keep a squeegee in the shower, and encourage everyone to wipe down the walls after each use to prevent water spots and mildew.

Wednesday: Whip the Kitchen into Shape

Halfway there! Midweek is a great time to deep clean the kitchen. Clear out leftovers from the fridge, wipe down the stove and microwave, and clean the floors. These tasks will help keep your kitchen functional and pleasant for cooking throughout the week.

Pro Tip: After cleaning your microwave, leave the door open for an hour to air it out and prevent mold from growing on leftover moisture.

Thursday: Thorough Dusting and Vacuuming

Dusting furniture, shelves, and other surfaces is what you should do on Thursdays. Follow up with a good vacuum of all carpets and rugs. This routine helps minimize dust and keeps your living spaces fresh and allergen-free.

Pro Tip: Vacuum your house in two different directions to lift and remove more pet hair and dust from carpets.

Friday: Focus on Floors

To ensure that everything is pristine for the weekend when you and your family spend the most time at home. End the work week by mopping and vacuuming all types of flooring throughout your house. This includes tile, hardwood, and laminate surfaces. 

Pro Tip: Add a few drops of essential oil to your mop water before cleaning floors for a fresh, natural aroma that will linger.

Saturday: Sheets and Towels

Saturday is ideal for washing bedding and towels. It’s a great way to start the weekend with fresh linens and fluffy towels, contributing to a relaxing, spa-like atmosphere at home.

Pro Tip: Add half a cup of baking soda to your laundry to boost detergent performance and get whiter, fresher-smelling linens.

Sunday: Rest and Reset

For Sunday Reset,  plan and prep for the week ahead. This might include organizing your cleaning supplies, checking inventory, and setting out anything you’ll need for Monday’s cleaning tasks. Sunday can also serve as a makeup day if any tasks were missed during the week.

Pro Tip: Create a cleaning caddy for each level of your home. This way, you always have supplies handy, saving time and effort.

Distributing cleaning tasks throughout the week not only makes the chores more manageable but also ensures that your home stays welcoming and clean without a monumental weekend effort.
