The pre tasks are a series of activities that you will need to complete to help you be ready and prepared for the 20 days, such as creating a routine you can follow during the 20 days and beyond, putting together a cleaning bucket so you have all products needed for each of the cleaning tasks etc.
ACCESSING LINKS AND DOWNLOADS
You will see throughout the challenge that I share additional links back to The Organised Housewife blog as well as downloadable printables. To open the link for more tips or to download the files simply click on the link and they will take you to view further information or to open downloads. These links are pink text like this.
WHAT TO EXPECT EACH DAY OF THE CHALLENGE?
Each day consists of the following tasks:
- Clean
- Organise
- Declutter
- New Habit
- 5 minutes only
The 5 minute only task doesn’t need to be completed each day. This task is for when you mmay beon the phone, or have a few spare minutes to tidy up an area. Please don’t spend too much time on this, 5 minutes max!!
WHAT IF I DON’T HAVE ENOUGH TIME?
I know that everybody has different aged or number of children, schedules or work commitments so please adapt these tasks around your time and family. If you are not able to complete one of them that is perfectly OK, it can be finished at a different time.
WHY 20 DAYS?
A 4 week period is a good starting block to get your home under control. I have set tasks for five out of the seven days each week. I don’t believe in cleaning every single day, we need to take time out (weekends or a days of your choice) to spend time with family and enjoying the outdoors. Please do not feel pressured to complete all the day’s task in the one day, if you can’t that’s fine, push this 20 days to 40 days if you need. Make this challenge work around your schedule.

Hi Kat . With the morning & evening routines for the 20 day clean challenge is it the one I have now or the routine I’d like to achieve ?
Hi Tanya, a bit of both, if you already have a morning routine that you are happy with, then great! but if you would like to be able to add things like doing washing, time for certain activities then you can create a new one or tweak them.
Signed up 2days ago as have 5 kids age 14, 10, 3, 1 and 3months. Want to see if there is an easier way as when I clean up the 2 toddlers love to mess up.. Endless cycle. Still waiting to be added to the fb group.. How long does your request take to process?
