The short answer

Your family plans in one place

The problem

A general cleaning list leaves it unclear what needs doing in each room.

How Best4Family helps

Open Cleaning Plan and choose Tasks & Areas from Actions. Enable the plan in Settings. Under Areas, create a room with a name, icon and colour. Under Tasks, add a template with its area, job, frequency, assigned person and optional checklist. Save it, then generate tasks due today.

How it works

Get organised in a few steps

  1. 01

    Enable the cleaning plan

    As a family administrator, open the setup, enable Enable Cleaning Plan and save the settings.

  2. 02

    Add an area

    Choose Areas and Add area. Enter Living room, choose the house icon and a colour, then save.

  3. 03

    Add a specific task

    Open Tasks and add Wipe the windowsills. Assign the template to Living room and add a short description.

  4. 04

    Set the person and steps

    Choose the frequency, select Fixed assignment and Daniel, and add the steps for moving decorations and wiping the windowsills. After creating it, the template appears under Living room.

If something looks wrong

The new room has no task yet.

Open Tasks and create a template. Select the new room as its Area and choose at least one person.

Less coordination, a clearer view

Bring your family plans together.
