As my kids get older and older I feel like my house cleaning has gotten more extreme. I feel like I pick up something or clean and item and ten more replace them. This all changed once I set up a cleaning calendar that the whole family participates in. It really is easy and can be done in all sorts of creative ways. I have listed below a few of the things we have on our house cleaning calendar.

1. Color codes - each color represents a different chore and if your name is in a specific color then that is your chore for the week.
2. Reward - mostly for the kids but rewards like extra allowance or choices of chores for following week.
3. Time - set up time frames for job to be done to insure prompt completion.
4. Penalties - if job isn't completed or done poorly you will get penalty in different forms from docked allowance or added chores.

Of course the best course of action is to hire You've Got MAIDS Buffalo for all your house cleaning needs. Call 716-830-8461 today for a free estimate.
