My Cleaning Routine As A SAHM
This is not strict at all, being a sahm you have to be flexible. Some weeks I do more than this and some weeks I do less. But this is my general routine that I follow. #sahm #cleaning #cleaningroutine #cleanhome #sahmlife
Being a stay-at-home mom (SAHM) means your day-to-day schedule can change unexpectedly, so having a flexible cleaning routine is essential. Based on my experience, breaking cleaning tasks into daily and weekly segments not only keeps the house manageable but also reduces stress. Daily tasks like making the bed, doing dishes, handling laundry as needed, wiping surfaces, and vacuuming floors help maintain order. Since I have very hairy dogs, vacuuming the couch daily is a must to keep pet hair under control. For deeper cleaning, I reserve Fridays for mopping floors and walls, wiping down appliances, washing bedding and throw blankets, and thoroughly cleaning bathrooms and the kitchen. Don't forget to clean the trash cans regularly to avoid odors. I’ve found that being flexible—doing more on some days and less on others depending on how things go—makes this routine sustainable and prevents burnout. Also, involving family members in simple tasks like tidying up or putting away laundry can make a big difference. Lastly, using multi-surface cleaners and pet-friendly products simplifies the process and keeps the home safe for children and pets. Maintaining this balance between insistence and flexibility allows me to enjoy my time at home while living in a clean, comfortable environment.
