Create a Chore Chart for General House Cleaning

Creating a chore chart for general house cleaning can help reduce the spread of disease. Allow residents to assign themselves chores to complete. These chores could include:

• Wiping down high touch surfaces, such as counter tops, doorknobs, light switches, remotes, etc.
• Cleaning out the fridge and freezer and disposing of spoiled food items.
• Ensuring dishes are cleaned promptly after use.
• Taking out the trash on a regular basis.
• Scrubbing bathroom surfaces, including sinks, toilets, showers and tubs.
• Reminding residents to wash their bedding and towels on a regular basis.
• Sweeping and mopping floors routinely.

In addition to having a chore chart, ensure that there is a person who is responsible for checking that all chores are done.
