Here’s my cleaning/declutter list for the bathroom! π Once again, in order to save on printing ink (said the canny Scotβ¦), I typed my lists in black ink and printed them on coloured paper. If you donβt have a printer/donβt want to print, you could take a screenshot of the list and keep it on your phone. Iβve based my lists on my own bathroom and things to declutter in this area. Remember to adapt β make these lists work for you! You can also find full detailed cleaning lists for zone 3 on the Flylady website (click here). Flylady Zone 3 is the bathroom plus one other room of your choice (more information about that here). Simply cut and paste what you need into your own blank document. If you are someone who thrives on lists, you may also want to make a list for your guest bedroom/laundry room/office/garden shed, etc. Just make sure that you are getting off your “bahookie” (backside) and cleaning things, and not getting bogged down in making perfect lists! LOL!
I printed my cleaning list and declutter list and put them back to back in a plastic sheet. Ready to cross off the tasks as I go! During the week I keep the list in my cleaning caddy. That way I can use any spare minutes I have to do one of the tasks. No more marathon cleaning sessionsβ¦do you hear me?! LOL! The aim is not to cross everything off the list this week but to keep moving forward in this zone and get something (anything!) done.
I created my templates using Canva. You can use my template for Zone 3, CLICK HERE. Or you can easily make your own. Here are some ideas to get you started, or use the Flylady lists for inspiration! Simply copy/paste on to your own blank document.
