NOW CLOSED. But grab our Daily Habit Tracker and Checklist below!
As busy af moms, one thing we know for sure, is that finding the time and motivation to clean can be almost freaking impossible. Especially now, when we’re living in some of the strangest times of our lives. Many of us are suddenly working full-time from home while suddenly homeschooling. Others are finding ourselves with more time on our hands than we ever imagined.
Here at Ur Basic Mom, we’re all about simplified systems and routines to make getting it all done possible and – almost – enjoyable. That’s why we decided to launch a 30 Day Spring Cleaning Challenge. Now, full disclosure – we began planning this before we were in global pandemic mode. So, we’re kind of modifying things here on the fly now that, basically, every cleaning supply under the sun is sold out.
To complete this challenge, all you’ll need is 30 minutes a day, Monday-Friday for straightening up, and one hour on the weekend for deep cleaning. Once you get in the habit of straightening up each area of your home each week, it will begin to take less time. And, if you straighten each room throughout the week, the deep cleaning on the weekend becomes less overwhelming, too. It is all about creating a system and routine that works for you!
We do realize that might be a lot, but once you establish the routine, it will feel like nothing at all and the amount of time needed each day will begin to decrease.
We start by breaking our cleaning needs into simple daily tasks for weekdays and one larger task on weekends. You can find the weekly tracker we’ll be using above. You can either download and print 4, now – one for each week of the month, or wait and download one each week.
We will send you an email each week on both Monday and Thursday.
The Monday email will have some motivation, tips, and tricks for establishing a weekly room-by-room cleaning system. The Thursday email will let you know our big cleaning project for the weekend. It will also include a list of necessary products so you can grab them or order them online (hello Prime) and have them ready for the weekend.
We’d love it if you’d join along with us on Facebook in our group – Mom Chat by The Basic Moms. It’s not necessary to participate in the challenge, but we will post daily during the challenge with additional tips and support.
We hope you’ll decide to join us in this challenge. It’s our hope that this challenge helps to simplify your cleaning routine resulting in more time for you to enjoy your life and family and way less anxiety and overwhelm.
