Cleaning Chore Lists for Kids


Free Kids Chore List


Here is a free and handy chore list for young children around the ages of 4 and 5.

These are easy chores to help your kids get started with responsibilities. And at this age they are motivated and still think it's fun to help you out around the house.



How the Chore Chart Works

The chores are listed in rows and the days are in columns. Mark an X in the row under the day it should be finished or if you have more than one child, write their name in a square. All your kids have to do is look at the chart to know what they have to do and on what day.

Many kids by the age of four are learning or know the days of the week so they may not need anymore help than you showing them how the chore should be done.

When the chore is complete, your child can put a Sticker where chores have been completed.

Your kids will feel a sense of accomplishment when they've done something without being told to do it!

Notes: 
Clean Room: picking up and putting away toys, clothes, books, making the bed, dusting, putting clothes in the dirty clothes basket.
Make dusting fun - use an old sock the kids can put on their hand and dust away.

Put Toys Away: many kids have toys not only in the bedroom but the family room or living room. They should also put these away in the specified location for that room.

Sorting Laundry: whites, darks, towels, etc.

7 Steps to Cleaning Your Vacuum

Image
  Cleaning the Vacuum Cleaner We try to clean our home and keep up with the housework on a regular basis. Maybe it’s every few days, once a week, or less often? But how often do we think to clean the vacuum cleaner? No matter what kind of vacuum you use, I’m pretty sure it’s a veritable work horse with all the dirt, debris, hair and who knows what else we have it suck up. Sometimes it truly amazes me mine runs as long as it does, especially when my younger kids are vacuuming. So treating your vacuum and the accessories that came with it, to a good cleaning on a somewhat regular basis can’t hurt. It’s not a time consuming job and something that can be done when the weather’s keeping you indoors. Step 1: Be sure the vacuum is unplugged. I’m sure this bit of instruction isn’t necessary but you never know. Step 2: If parts need to be removed, make sure you know how to put it back together by taking pictures or labeling. Step 3: Use mild soap and water to clean the accessories and ...

Cleaning Around the House with White Vinegar

I know you see posts all the time about the using white vinegar to clean around the house and I as well post about the many uses. These are some of the questions we get asked often by our clients. You may not realize it, but white vinegar is environmentally friendly, it’s a germ fighter and you probably have it on a kitchen shelf already as you may use it to cook with time and again for tenderizing meats, pickling your garden veggies and bringing out the flavor of some foods. I have to say, I think my bottle of white vinegar is used more for cleaning around the house than for using in my recipes. You can use it to sanitize the washing machine, make your own window cleaner and so much more. Vinegar can be used all around the house, from the kitchen to the bathrooms and even used to clean certain types of floors.  Vinegar is quite effective for killing household germs, bacteria, and killing most molds due to its acidic nature. However, because of its acidic nature it will damag...

Are you looking for ways to get grass stains out of clothing? Grass stains happen! What do you do? When your kids are playing in the yard or you’re on your knees doing yard work, it can be quite common to get grass stains on the knees of our pants. The problem with grass stains is they can be mixed with more than just grass. There may be some mud and other things in the mix but when you need to get the stain out, concentrate on the grass part of the stain first. Simple Cleaning Solution This is a non-toxic way to clean the grass stain. • Go to your local health food store or pharmacy and purchase a supplemental, digestive enzyme in powder or pill form. • Use 1 teaspoon of the powder and add a little water to make a paste. • Apply the paste to the grass stain, covering the entire area and let sit for one hour. • Wash as you normally would but don’t put it in the dryer yet.
