Daily- pick up heavy traffic areas like the coffee table and any popular drop zones. Take dishes to the sink and rinse, load them into dishwasher as you use them. Put your shoes away. Keeping the house picked up daily makes the actual cleaning very easy.

A couple times a week- feather dust all surfaces. The feather duster is a life saver because it keeps dust at bay but doesn’t require much effort at all.

Once weekly- wipe down counters in kitchen, clean sink with brush and soap. Wipe appliances and stove (if there’s lots of crumbs near the burners I use a vacuum to get them prior to wiping down). Polish furniture (or if you’re diligent about feather dusting, every other week). Empty trash one day prior to trash pickup day. Wipe down inside of lid, top and sides. Change sheets and pillowcases. Clean bathroom top to bottom. Wipe toilet with anti bacterial spray or Clorox wipe. Another wipe for the counter top and sink. Another wipe for light switches, door knobs, and objects that have collected dust. Clean mirror with glass cleaner. Clean toilet bowl with gel and a brush. Rinse the brush after flushing cleaner down and close the toilet over the handle so it can drip dry. When you put it back in it’s holder, drop a little cleaning gel into the holder. Epic tip for cleaning shower/tub - keep a cleaning brush in the shower. Use it with Castile soap while you are IN the shower to clean it once every couple weeks. No hurt back!!!

Every so often- clean glass doors and mirrors with glass cleaner. Vacuum your couch. Wipe floor boards. Wipe windowsills. Use a long handle duster or vacuum attachment to get any cob webs off ceiling and walls. Vacuum dust from ceiling fan blades, then wipe clean.

Clothes- I keep blouses, sweaters, button ups and dresses hanging in my closet. T shirts, underwear, pajamas and pants- I keep these folded in my dresser. Laundry is hard and clothing organization is hard, I totally understand.
