I have very detailed sheets as to what steps are involved in cleaning each zone. Right now we have zone time once/day but when they were younger we'd do it a couple of times/day, for shorter times. It's a beautiful system because I find I'm less stressed about the house if I know that there is a time, TODAY, when it will all be cleaned up...keeps me from yelling or being the Annoying Demanding Mom. Maybe I'll post some of it here sometime soon!
