The 5 Minute Pick-Up
As my daily clean-up routine is ever evolving, I’m always looking for a faster way to keep the house nice and tidy. Last week I did a deep clean of the downstairs for Dylan’s party and it took way too long, but it got me thinking… If I broke down the major cleaning tasks to just five minutes a day per room, I could get a lot more accomplished in a little bit of time, and have extra time for the kiddos. This won’t replace the big deep clean, but it will help out with the clutter and little day to day messes.
I’m planning on spending just 5 minutes a day per room cleaning up a little here and there and decluttering daily too. Here is the break-down of the house:
- Kitchen
- Utility Room & 1/2 Bathroom
- Dining Room
- Living Room/Main Play Area
- Foyer
- James Office
- Main Bathroom
- Master Bedroom
- Boy’s Room
- Total time to clean 45 minutes
We’ll see how the experiment goes. Dylan usually takes a pretty good nap in the morning and in the afternoon, so I hope to get all of the cleaning accomplished then

Thanks Ellie! I hope that this will help out the routine a bit, I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of housework. Anything that can save a little time helps out!
