Dividing Cleaning Tasks
 When I was a kid, my mother cleaned the whole house once a week. (Not that she didn't clean up anything in between) I mean all the dusting, vacuuming, bathroom cleaning, floor mopping, EVERYTHING on ONE day. As I got older I was assigned a lot of it. It takes a lot away from a Saturday morning when you have to clean the whole house. Not to mention what happens to the house if you miss your cleaning day.
Well, with homeschooling, that definitely does NOT work for me. I've divided up my housecleaning into manageable chores each day. I also have them scheduled a little more often than is absolutely necessary because I'd rather clean a not-so-dirty toilet twice than a nasty toilet once. Overall I think it's less work too.
So I don't clean my bathrooms on the same day as I vacuum. (And if I didn't have kids assigned to clean some of the bathrooms, I wouldn't even clean them all on the same day.) I don't mop the kitchen the same day I change sheets. What do I gain from this?
Cleaning takes smaller chunks of time.

A house that is never totally dirty.
(It's never completely clean either, but I can live with that. How long would it stay completely clean anyway? 5 minutes?) It's definitely working for me.
