Cleaning Checklist: What to Do and How Often?
To make it easier, we’ve divided tasks into daily, weekly, and monthly categories to keep your home consistently clean and organized.
✔️ Daily Tasks (5 to 15 minutes per day)
✅ Make the bed – A tidy bedroom makes a big difference.
✅ Wash dishes or load the dishwasher – Prevents dirt buildup and pests.
✅ Wipe down the kitchen sink – Use a degreaser after each use.
✅ Clean the table and countertops – Use a professional disinfectant to eliminate germs.
✅ Take out the trash (bathroom and kitchen, if needed) – Keeping bins clean prevents odors.
✅ Put things back in place – Small habits help prevent clutter from accumulating.
✔️ Weekly Tasks (30 to 60 minutes per week)
✅ Vacuum and mop the floors – Use a vacuum for carpets and a damp mop for hard floors.
✅ Clean the bathrooms – Disinfect sinks, mirrors, toilets, and showers.
✅ Change bed linens and towels – Essential for maintaining hygiene.
✅ Clean kitchen appliances – Stovetops, microwaves, and refrigerators accumulate grease and crumbs.
✅ Wipe mirrors and glass surfaces – Use Windex or an appropriate cleaner.
✔️ Monthly Tasks (1 to 2 hours per month)
✅ Deep clean appliances – Refrigerators, ovens, range hoods, and washing machines need attention.
✅ Organize closets – Sort out clothes and items you no longer use.
✅ Vacuum upholstery and curtains – Removes dust and dust mites.
