It's never too late to get started on this 30-day cleaning challenge and get your home in tip-top shape; just start today, and follow the schedule for the next 30 days! We've been carefully crafting a 30-day schedule for you, assigning tasks that will take up about 20 minutes to an hour of your time each day. In fact, we made it easier for you by creating a wonderful PDF — download it here — for you to print out and stick on your fridge to keep you accountable. After you've finished each task, just mark it off with an "X" to feel that rush of completing a task. And don't forget to celebrate on day 30!
