Feeling Overwhelmed with Cleaning

We are still moving into our new house, and I am feeling overwhelmed. I just want a neat, orderly house. I like to maintain things but I have a hard time getting them neat and clean to begin with. Moving is always so difficult.

I want to get on a cleaning schedule. I have someone come to my home to clean it professionally, but in between those cleanings I want a routine that works for me.

Daily routine:

1. Run robot vacuum

2. Dishes

3. Laundry

4. Wipe down kitchen counters

5. Get the mail

6. Mop

Weekly chores should include things like:

1. Windows

2. Dusting

3. Disinfecting the bathrooms

4. Clean the refrigerator

Tomorrow my husband leaves the country for work and I’m going to miss him a lot. I’m glad we have the security of living on base so I don’t have to feel unsafe. I hope to get things done while hes gone but I feel like I’m stuck at such a standstill. I feel absolutely overwhelmed.

  1. Oh wow, daily mopping is a mood indeed. I save that for my weeklies, but sweeping or vacuuming is on the regular since I have a dog. Yeah, sometimes it feels like you’ll never finish doing the chores, but what a great feeling to have a clean house!

    1. It’s an amazing feeling! We have a dog too, so I know what you mean about having to vacuum all the time. Last night my vacuum ended up with a full bin before the job was even done so I had to clean him before he could start again. I say him because we’ve named him and everything. Lol. My vacuum is my little robot friend.
