If you spend time cleaning up before and after children are in care, count this time as business time. If you are doing general house cleaning, count only the time that is associated with the mess created by your business.

I would not count the time spent doing your own dishes or laundry for example. That is not daycare related. If you cleaned up once after daycare closed on Friday, then I would not count what you are doing now. Your son made the mess, not the daycare. Yes it needs to be cleaned up before you open, but your son needs to learn to pick up too it is part of being in the family. You should count your regular cleaning of vacuuming and washing the floors because you need to do that for daycare.
