A few months ago a friend of mine mentioned that she and another friend of her’s swapped house cleaning. I thought this was such a marvelous idea I suggested it to my sister. She thought it was great too, so we set a day. We have been doing it for a few months now, and love it. It really feels like a maid coming to your home every other week, giving your house a once over. The key is to find someone that likes (or doesn’t mind) doing what you do not like to do.
Here is how it works for us:
The first week on Tuesday, I go to Jo Anna’s home, the next week she comes to mine. She hates vacuuming, I do not mind. So at both houses I do all of the vacuuming, sweeping, and mopping.I hate doing bathrooms, she doesn’t mind. So at both houses she does the bathrooms at both houses.
It works great! We do not have to do the tasks we hate the most. This makes it much more bearable, and your home is easier to maintain during the 2 week period.
So, Go find you a cleaning partner today. Thanks Andrea for your idea, it has really helped me!
okay, this is awesome. Unfortunately for us, I think we like the same chores. I’m into dishes, vacuuming and laundry.
I hate cleaning blinds, windows, toilets (a nauseating experience), and tubs.
I am always amazed what I find when I do a search for house cleaning info!
