Daily House Cleaning Checklist

Do you ever feel like you are running around and don't know which way is up?

That feeling of looking up and your house doesn't look quite as clean as you wished it did but you are not sure how you are going to find the time to shower let alone dust and make the bed. I was feeling like this a lot this summer and decided I needed a daily house cleaning checklist. A list that I could use to remind myself what had been done and what I had been ignoring for longer than I want to admit.

I will fully admit that not all of these things get done on a daily basis but I am able to rotate through them to know that I am not leaving something off the list for weeks on end. Having a list is helping me make sure that the house doesn't look like a bomb exploded within it.

Daily House Cleaning Checklist

Bedrooms

__ Straighten the bed and fluff pillows

__ Put any jewelry or clothes back where they belong

__ Place any dirty laundry in hampers

__ Pick up any toys off the floor in children’s rooms

__ Straighten night tables

 

Living Room

__ Straighten couch- place pillows back in place, fold any throws or blankets

__ Pick up any plates, food wrappers, or cups and place in garbage or dishwasher

__ Straighten rugs and runners

__ Wipe tables to clean off any water rings or crumbs

__ Lightly Vacuum (Do a heavy/full vacuum 1 time per week for every member of your household. For instance, if you have 3 people living in your home, you should vacuum 3 times per week)

 

Kitchen

__ Do all dishes before going to bed

__ Wipe off surfaces such as countertops, refrigerator handles, stovetop, and microwave (exterior)

__ Hang your dish towels and tidy up your kitchen sink area.

__ Scrub out your sink. Pay attention to facets and handles.

__ Sweep and spot clean any spills or areas on your floor.

 

Bathroom

__ Do a quick swish in the bowl of your toilet. No elbow grease or cleaning supplies needed except for maybe some vinegar.

__ Put things back in holders such as toothbrushes, soaps, and cosmetics.

__ Spot clean your mirror.

__ If you have a cat, sweep up any spilled litter.

__ Hang towels on racks

 

Entryway

__ Place shoes, coats, winter gear or hats on racks

__ Spot mop the area

__ Wipe down door handles

 

If you do these things daily, you will be surprised at how clean your home stays! It may seem like a lot to do, but each task can be completed in less than 2 minutes each and they can be done throughout the day as you have time in each room.

Another way to control the clutter is to spend 10 minutes every evening just placing things back where they belong. This means taking toys back to children’s rooms, sorting through paperwork, or even matching socks if need be!
