30-Day Cleaning Challenge Printable
Start the 30-Day Cleaning Challenge Today!
It's not too late to get started on the 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 have been carefully crafting a 30-day schedule for you, assigning tasks that will take up about about 20 minutes to an hour 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.

It's a good reminder/motivator list,however I would change two things. On the kitchen list,
I would put #5 before # 3 & 4, because it doesn't make sense to go through old food in fridge. and pantry after you already cleaned them, because usually the emptying process makes a mess. Along the same lines,in the bathroom list I would put #10 before #9 because it is easier to clean a medicine chest and storage cabinets after you have already removed old and expired stuff. Other than those things I use to be able to do it all in one day when I had my cleaning business but now with my disabilities it would probably take me 30 days to get it done.Thanks for the list idea.
So practical!
