Purge and Organization - This Weekend and Beyond

Sunday is the BIG YARD SALE for the Wilson Family. 

After this huge purge of items from our household, I don't want our home to go back to how it looked before; full of items that we don't use, never dust and just put up with. I would like a house that doesn't take us a few weeks to get ready to have company come over.

Because of that, I have put together a weekly checklist of things that will be done EVERY WEEK to avoid digging the same hole that we are getting out of now.

I'm going to print and laminate this sheet so that it can be reused weekly with a dry erase pen and a clipboard.


Weekly Cleaning Checklist

Bathrooms:

¬ Change and launder bath mats, towels and washcloths

¬ Clean toilets, bathtubs and sinks

¬ Wipe mirrors

¬ Change and launder sheets and pillowcases

¬ Dust surfaces, including furniture, objects and light fixtures

¬ Keep up on laundry- wash/ dry/ fold/ put away

  1. I've been working on a similar list. That way everyone knows what is done and what still needs to be finished each week. So Mom doesn't need to be home to know what is going on! :) Good luck with your Yard Sale.
