Do you struggle maintaining a green clean home? Have you tried to follow a cleaning routine
but still can’t seem to stick with it? Maybe a schedule does not fit within the
parameters of your family dynamic.
Perhaps sprint green
cleaning is a method that would work best for you.
WHAT is sprint green cleaning?
It is cleaning in
bite-sized portions within the natural rhythms of daily life.
WHO needs sprint green cleaning?
Families with busy schedules.
Parents with infants and preschoolers.
Anyone who struggles with structuring & implementing a
clean & tidy home.
HOW do I sprint green clean?
Cleaning sprints are done in 5 to 10 minute intervals between activities in your daily
life.
(Most can be done in 5
minutes or less!)
WAKE and MAKE! Begin by making your bed.
A made-up bed will be a welcoming gift whether your day went as planned or not. A made-up bed day says… “it’s ok, you got one
thing completed—you made the bed and there is always tomorrow.”
Just FIVE MINUTES? YES!!
You will be amazed to see how much you can accomplish in
just five minutes!
Examples include:
vacuum one room/clean one sink/clean one tub-shower/dust one
bedroom/throw one load of laundry in the washer/fold one load of laundry…
These five-minute cleaning sprints can work for kid’s chores
too! You can make it a race and set a
timer—this will especially resonate with your sons!
Sprint clean right where
you stand! What can you green
clean in five minutes in the room you are in?
In the kitchen: While cooking clean out one kitchen
drawer as a dish is simmering on the stove.
Wipe down stainless steel appliances while the chicken is sautéing. Wash up dishes as you go!
In the toddler’s bedroom: While he/she is playing with toys dust the
crib/toddler bed/fold the laundry.
In the fitness room/space: Before a workout, green clean windows for a fresh
view outdoors while you exercise.
…you get the picture!
TIPS TO FIGHT
DISTRACTIONS:
Use a timer. Timers are great additional helps to keep us
free from distractions. Should a task
require more time than five minutes, a timer could be an especially helpful
tool for staying on task.
Set your phone
down! Remember, you just have five
minutes to get your task done, so don’t let your phone eat into those five
minutes!
ADDITIONAL TIPS
FOR SUCCESSFUL SPRINT CLEANING:
Pick up after
yourself!! Let me say it again, Pick you after yourself!! It is hard to quickly green clean
surfaces that are covered in clutter.
Remember this motto: “A
place for everything and everything in its place.”
Laundry overwhelm?? Do the 2/5 laundry plan:
2 loads daily/5 days a week.
2 loads daily/5 days a week.
A personal tip:
My children have been doing their own laundry since they could touch the
bottom of the washing machine while standing on the floor (not on a step
stool).
This WILL SAVE YOUR SANITY!!
