Household Cleaning Cards

 Household Cleaning Cards in a changeable form, you can change these to make them fit your home.

These cards can be very helpful for any member of the family.  Each card outlines the job and gives a job description.  By having these cards you family will know what is expected.  When a job is completed, you can let the person in charge of that area evaluate his own work.  By having these cards they can see if anything has been left undone.

Make these cards for each area or job in your home.
