Prompt

Create a cleaning and home-maintenance schedule that suits my household.

My home and life:
- Home type and rooms: {{home}}
- Who lives here: {{household}}
- Time I can spend on cleaning per day: {{minutes}} minutes
- Cleaning days I prefer: {{days}}
- The jobs I hate most or struggle to keep up with: {{struggles}}
- Special factors (pets, allergies, kids, hard floors, rental rules): {{factors}}

Build:
1. A daily 10-15 minute reset routine of the few tasks that make the biggest visible difference.
2. A weekly schedule laid out by day, with specific tasks per day, never exceeding my time budget. Spread heavier jobs out and assign tasks to people in the household where it makes sense.
3. A monthly list and a seasonal or quarterly list, including often-forgotten tasks such as vents, mattress, oven, and fridge.
4. A "30-minute emergency clean" order of operations for unexpected guests.
5. Simple supply and product guidance: the short list of cleaners and tools needed, with a warning not to mix bleach with ammonia or other chemicals and to follow the label directions.

Format: a weekly table, then bulleted lists. Keep tasks specific, like "wipe bathroom counters and mirror", and not "clean bathroom". Keep it lighter if my time budget is small, and say what can wait.

Notes

Capping tasks to your real minutes per day is why people actually follow it. Mention rental inspection dates so the schedule can front-load what the landlord will notice.
