Mum's 'brilliant' cleaning schedule is helping busy parents sort out their homes

If you find yourself falling a little short of being the next Mrs Hinch , then help is at hand.

Keeping on top of household chores can often fall casualty to a busy family life.

However, one mum has come with a system which makes managing the load a lot easier - and other mums think it's "brilliant".

What she's done is put together a list of all the jobs that need doing around the house and how often each one needs to be done.

Taking pride of place on her fridge it's also unsurprisingly laminated, because that's what organised people do.

"This is my new little cleaning checklist for on the fridge," she wrote.

"It's laminated so I can check it off and reuse it.

"What's the bet hubby will actually read it to see what still needs doing?"

The mum's daily chores include ding the washing up and sorting out the laundry.

Brits reveal the ten hidden costs of home buying - and the fees add up to £4,000  

The toilet gets cleaned weekly, as does the fridge, oven and microwave.

Then come the monthly tasks, like cleaning the windows and washing the curtains, which we have literally never done.

Other mums felt inspired by the list and were quick to praise it, although some questions were raised about washing curtains monthly.
