The Imperfect Housewife

I rotate some other deep-cleaning tasks throughout the year.  I have some jobs that I complete every three months; others that I do every six months or less.  I basically divide the list up and assign the duties to specific months on my master to-do list.  Here’s a list of the extra tasks:

Every three months:

Clean oven

Wash curtains

Polish baseboards and trim

Descale coffee maker

Every six months:

Scrub grout

Vacuum condenser coil (fridge)

Wash comforter, bed skirt

Wash kitchen cabinets, inside and out

Deep clean stove hood (includes cleaning fan filter)

Every Year
