  1. That’s a great schedule! Our problem is that we have absolutely no time to do any major cleaning on the weekdays and tend to save it all for the weekends, when we’re also busy. A cleaning service has been considered before, and will likely be considered again after the wedding.

  2. Thanks for sharing. I, like the commenter before me, also have a problem finding time during the week. I think I might need to find a modified schedule that allows for a few nights of nothing a week... now you've got me thinking. Thanks!

  4. This gives me cold sweats. I am so messy and just thinking about having a (choke) cleaning SCHEDULE... scary. Wish I was a more natural cleaner.
