[quote=Anonymous]If you are looking for specific tasks to assign:

DAILY: clean kitchen thoroughly after dinner (20min), pickup and put stuff in rightful place- usually this is kitchen, family room, mud room or other areas where things collect (15min), one load of clothing laundry- fold and put away immediately (15min max, can fold while watching tv)

WEEKLY: clean bathrooms including mopping, and mop kitchen and high traffic areas (1hr total- do all at once while you have supplies out), vacuum rugs/carpets- this may need to be done 2x/wk (15min), dusting etc (15min and is a good job for kids to do), wash and change all sheets and towels (less than 30min of actual work)

All of that is assuming decent spot cleaning as needed (wipe up spills and any messes etc right away) and no pets (which will add more time and frequency usually). Kids should be picking up own toys - if not daily, should be picked up before you clean/vacuum etc.

It really isn’t that much. Do other things as you see it is needed. [/quote]
