This post may contain affiliate links. Please read my disclosure for more info.
Cleaning is something so many of us (myself included) struggle with.
There’s always SO much to keep up with.
And if you don’t stay on top of it every day, the tasks can pile up fast, leaving you with a messy house in no time.
That’s where a cleaning checklist can make all the difference.
Use these templates to stay organized and keep your home tidy.
You can add them to your own cleaning planner or binder, or simply stick them on your fridge for quick reference!
What daily cleaning tasks should I add to my schedule?
It depends on the size of your home, how many people live there, and their cleaning habits.
Here are some of the daily tasks for an average household:
- Make beds
- Wash dishes/unload or load the dishwasher
- Wipe down kitchen counters
- Check trash and empty if needed
- Sweep/vacuum high-traffic areas
- Quick tidy up
- Put laundry away and start a new load (unless you prefer certain days)
What weekly tasks should I add to my checklist?
This will vary from room to room, but here are some examples:
- Laundry (if you prefer to do a lot at once)
- Dust
- Mop the floors
- Deep clean the kitchen and bathrooms
- Tidy up clutter magnet areas (for us, this tends to be the top of our bedroom dresser and nightstands)
- Wash sheets
- Clean out backpacks (if you have school-aged kids)
- Toss old schoolwork
- Toss/shred any mail clutter that has accumulated
- Clean out the fridge
This is a simple list to get you started. Feel free to add your own and skip any that aren’t necessary for your family.
