Kitchen Day is the day when you do the big tasks and clean. Set aside a day for this for the sake of efficiency. If you keep your focus in the kitchen for a day it will help out your family�s health, grocery budget, cleanliness and general well being. Big famlies make big messes. They also require a lot of food and making a lot of food makes a lot of mess. Small families may be able to go longer times between certain cleaning jobs but if you haven�t figured it out yet, the life span of a cleaning job is greatly reduced in large families.
To start with, write out the weekly cleaning chores for the kitchen. This is the day that you and the children do those chores. If everyone does one or two tasks from the list every week, the kitchen stays clean with little effort. Each task can be done in just a few minutes if it�s done weekly. It turns into drudgery when something is not kept up with.
