Tidy the Bedroom
- Make your bed as soon as you climb out of it. This one step is so simple, but it really changes the appearance of your room. And, if you do that first thing in the morning, you’ve already started your day with a sense of accomplishment.
- Pick up and put away any clothes.
- Tidy the nightstand.
Tidy the Bathroom
- Wipe down the sink, counters, and mirror.
- Give your shower/tub a quick swipe with cleaning spray.
- Wipe down the toilet with a disinfectant spray.
- Shake out the rugs.
- Replace the dirty towels.
Tidy the Kitchen
The last thing I do every night before bed is make sure my kitchen sink is emptied of any dishes and is sparkling clean. I also make sure my kitchen counters are wiped clean, too. My family knows a tidy kitchen makes my life happier. 😊
- Empty the dishwasher.
- Shine the sink.
- Clear the counters.
- Wipe down all surfaces and appliances.
- Spot wipe the floor.
- Sweep the floor and shake out the rugs.
- Replace the dish towel with a clean one.
Tidy Living Areas
- Put away any items that were forgotten the night before. (We practice a 10 Minute Tidy Sweep before bed to save time in the mornings on this one).
- Fluff the sofa pillows.
- Wipe down end tables and other surfaces.
- Sweep or vacuum the floor.
Keep Your House Smelling Fresh
This is not really part of the daily house cleaning checklist, but I thought I would mention it since it is part of my daily routine. After I’ve quickly gone through all of my daily house cleaning tasks, I refill my essential oil diffuser with some sort of fresh scent and place it in our main living area. It really freshens the air and is a great welcoming scent for my family when the walk in the house in the afternoons after a long day at school and work.
