Use a Cleaning Chart to Stay on Top of Chores

Since the PepperTree apartments are luxuriously appointed and outfitted with professionally chosen, soothing color schemes, many residents like to keep their places tidy and looking their best. If cleaning the entire apartment sounds like a daunting task to you, it may be helpful to create a cleaning chart instead. A cleaning chart breaks down chores into more manageable tasks that are completed on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly basis, making it easy to keep your apartment sparkling.

Here is an example of how a cleaning chart can be broken down:

• Daily

• Kitchen: Wash dishes, wipe down counters, empty garbage

• Bedroom(s): Make beds, pick up clothes

• Living area: Pick up clutter, sort mail

• Bathroom(s): Wipe down sinks and counters

• Weekly

• Bedroom(s): Dust surfaces, change and wash sheets, vacuum, do laundry and put away
