Now is a good time to think about using a weekly cleaning checklist. Having a cleaning game plan will help keep your house clean. Let’s face it, keeping a home clean and tidy is extremely challenging, especially with kids in the house. Instead of getting overwhelmed by not knowing which area of the home to clean first, organize your cleaning tasks in a way that seems less stressful. Also, if you are getting tired of picking up and organizing so many things, consider this decluttering challenge.
