September House Cleaning Checklist

September house cleaning checklist: Some tasks only need to be done once or twice a year. The problem is that we forget to do them once or twice a year. Or else we tend to save it all for spring cleaning, which makes it such a daunting chore that it doesn’t occur. 

By breaking down annual and seasonal tasks into manageable monthly goals, you can tackle them daily or weekly. This approach not only prevents tasks from piling up but also gives you a sense of accomplishment as you see things getting done. 

Concentrating on one room or area each month is more rewarding because you can see the results. Here's the September house cleaning checklist schedule that works best for me.
