CORE CLEANING - MASTER CHECK LIST

I'm pretty excited about posting a brand new file!Years ago I worked as a chambermaid in a 4 to 5 star hotel in a beautiful resort during the summer months while attending university. Many times I have struggled with "Where do I begin?" (when it comes to house cleaning.) One of my grown up sons said to me, "Mom, why don't you take the cleaning system you learned while working at the hotel and apply it to house cleaning?" Hence my "Core Cleaning" list came into being! You will now find the "Core Cleaning - Master Checklist" in our group's "Files". (Sunday is our “Rest Day”:) Materials Needed: cleaning cloths, towels, linens, toilet paper rolls, kleenex, Comet, all purpose cleaner, toilet bowl cleaner, Windex, vacuum cleaner NOTE: We also carried a "rake" with us while we went room to room providing maid services and doing "check outs". (In those days the hotels had "shag" carpets that needed raking! The carpets looked absolutely fabulous when we were done!) LoL 😉 To find out more and receive support while we clean, please join us at: Counting Steps While We Clean <---- Click to view our group.

ARE YOU COMMITTED TO "STAYING ORGANIZED"?

Are you committed to "STAYING" organized? Many of us are great at getting organized, but we "fall off the tracks" regularly! I am great at that! How about we make it our goal in this group to not only GET ORGANIZED, but STAY ORGANIZED? This means:

a) regular maintenance on daily chores around the house
b) declutter regularly (sort, toss, give away, put away)
c) focus on what's most important each day (stick to your priorities, your list, or whatever it takes to "stay on track".)

Prayers for each of you, that you will "stay on track"! With the Lord's help we can do it!

Devotional Reminders

This is a group for committed Christian women, devoted to daily Bible reading and prayer. Members of this group receive daily devotional reminders. We believe that the Bible is God's inspired, infallible and inerrant word. Without Christ and His redemptive work on the cross, our world would be without hope. May God through the work of His Holy Spirit, grant us grant us His wisdom, guidance, peace and direction.

"Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice." (Psalm 55:17)
"The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." (James 5:16b)

THE "50 in 15 ORGANIZING LADIES" GROUP IS BACK!!!

For women who prefer to work with 15 minute intervals, this group has just been reformed! This is a Christian based, homemaking group, that is based on the principle, that you can accomplish A LOT in just 15 minutes!! We set our timers for 15 minute intervals, and then do one of the following: a) Pick up 50 items and put them away. b) Tidy one room of the house. The posted LINKS are a great resource and helpful checklists can be found in our FILES. You can put these printed sheets into your control binder. Working with a timer, helps to keep you focused. Fifteen minute intervals are not long, and are a manageable interval for even the busiest person!! If you do NOT want a lot of e-mails in your mailbox, please request the "DAILY DIGEST" or "SPECIAL NOTICES".
