I don’t look forward to cleaning day. I dread it and the messes I’ll find. But it’s not as bad as it used to be. I implemented some of these handy tips from Good Housekeeping on doing mini-cleaning tasks throughout the week to make cleaning day more tolerable. Be sure to check out the guides for each of the different rooms!

Kitchen Minitasks

1. Wipe up spills in the refrigerator as soon as you notice them, and if you have time, do the rest of the shelf or any gloppy jar bottoms.

2. Go through just one refrigerator or pantry shelf and toss anything that’s past the expiration date, that you’ll never use again or that’s less than a single serving.

3. Toss the jumble of unused takeout disposable containers, glass jars and condiment packages you’ve collected.

4. Wipe fingerprints off all the kitchen cabinets.
