I have been reading so many blogs on other getting into spring cleaning. Everyone has their own ideas on how to go about it. Some do different task each day, some are doing a 15 minute cleaning seasion so many times a day. I'm going to tackle one room or area a day for the next 4 weeks. This is how I divided it up. Some areas will take longer than others. If this works, I think I will just continue with this plan every month, it will help me keep up, and each month it would be easier and easier because I wouldn't have so much junk.

Deep Cleaning Schedule:

Week 1:                                                               Week 2:

M- Phone Area                                                   M- Upstairs Bath-done

T- Dinning Room done                                    T- Hall Closet -done

W- Kitchen -done                                             W- M.Room/Bath

TH- Living Room done                                  TH- Elise’s Room done

F- Landings-done                                            F- Office/School Room

  Week 3:                                                                   Week4:

M-Downstairs Bath done                                       M- Piano Area

T- Laundry Area done                                            T- Basement Closet

W- Storage Area                                                     W- T.V. Area

TH- Hocky Table Areadone                                 TH- Garage

F- Guest/Computer Room                                   F- Garage

 I also like to do alot of freezer meals. I use to get together with a friend and cook one day for the month. We are not able to do that anymore, but I still like being able to pull things out of the freezer for dinner on those rush days. So I am going to take one kind of meat and do several meals with that meat that week to put into the freezer.

Update: because I'm not very good at following plans, it's just too fine a line for me, as I get things done this month I will come back and mark it done. Hopefully as the month progresses, so will I , and eventually on schedule.

Update June 1: I'm just going to continue till next week when my sil/bil come to visit. Hoping I will have it all done by then.   At any rate, it was a good start and plan, something I didn't have before or did before. I will probably do it again during the last half of June/ first part of July.

That's a good idea to focus on one small area per day, and you are right, each week should (theoretically) get easier. I'd had a schedule similar to that myself, I'll go dig out my papers on it and try to implement it again. Thanks for the inspiration!

My home needs an extreme home cleaning right now. I usually just invite people over - that gives me enough insentive to get cleaning and but fast. There was once when a friend popped in unexpectantly and wonder of all wonders, my house happened to be sparkling clean - it felt soooo good - I was on cloud 9 all day!

Wow, that's really neat to have it planned out like that. I'm good at writing plans, not so good at sticking to it. I've always wanted to try making a month's run to the grocer and cooking up big.
Maybe someday i will.
