How to Create A Simple House Cleaning Checklist

We know cleaning is not your favorite household task to do but it has to be done whether you like it or not. We all want to have a neat and organized home but most of us don’t know exactly how to get there. We’ve brought you some tips to create a simple house cleaning checklist that will make your life a lot easier.

How to Create A Simple House Cleaning Checklist

Check out how you can create a customized house cleaning checklist that you can follow easily:

Inspect the Entire House

The first step of creating a house cleaning checklist is to have an idea about the areas and the things that should be cleaned to make the entire space nice and clean. Take a pen and a piece of paper and inspect the entire house to identify the tasks. Write them down on the paper, as it will help you to finalize the list.

Set Your Priority and Categorize

Make a list all the rooms and areas of the home that have to be cleaned regularly. Leave some tasks such as cleaning the guest room or storage room off your daily cleaning list because you don’t use these rooms often.

Now, categorize the cleaning tasks based on their difficulty and the time they are likely to take. After that, create a section with the tasks that can be done within a day. If the section becomes longer, split the tasks in half and complete them over two days.

Make a List of Deep Cleaning House Tasks

Deep cleaning tasks are a bit difficult and time consuming. As you don’t need to deep clean your home regularly, it would be better making a separate list of these tasks.

Chores like cleaning the showers, scrubbing the tile grout, sanitizing wastebaskets, cleaning inside the oven and microwave, wiping and dusting behind the refrigerator, cleaning under the bed, vacuuming carpet edges, etc. are deep cleaning tasks that you need to do from time to time. You can take turns such deep cleaning the bathrooms, kitchen, bedrooms, and others on a bi-weekly basis.

Schedule your House Cleaning Chores

Creating a schedule after making the checklist will make your job a lot easier. A whole-home cleaning schedule takes off your stress because you know exactly what and when you have to clean to keep everything neat and tidy. Create a realistic schedule that truly works for you and your home. For example, keep all the window cleaning tasks and kitchen appliance cleaning on Monday, carpet and floor cleaning tasks on Tuesday, and like that.

Feeling too lazy to make a schedule? Check this house cleaning schedule from Real Simple. It features a simple step-by-step method that will set you up for stress-free cleaning success.

The point of a creating a house cleaning checklist and fixing a schedule is to give you more freedom and less stress. Remember to keep all the cleaning products – everything from carpet cleaner to dishwashing products – organized in a single place, as it will help you tackle those cleaning tasks more easily.
