Printable cleaning schedule
Cleaning the house is not a hard task for me! In fact keeping my house clean is one of the things in life I truly enjoy and helps me relax and feel happy! I’m sure there are a few of you who feel the same! But for those who don’t, I made a printable cleaning schedule to help you go through all those dreadful tasks easier, faster and in a much more productive way than before!
Having a cleaning calendar in place is always recommended, rather than trying to clean the house chaotically, without any plans in mind. I have almost 30 years experience with cleaning and I admit, my first years have been very stressful, until I implemented a cleaning checklist. Fair enough, my house cleaning schedule has suffered numerous alterations to adjust to every house I lived in but ultimately, they all come down to a few basic tasks, highlighted in this present printable cleaning schedule.

Keeping this simple and easy to follow printable cleaning checklist on hand, will make daily, weekly and monthly cleaning such a breeze! My printable cleaning schedule is broken down into daily tasks, daily tasks and monthly tasks and has a small checkbox on the left of each tasks. This way you’ll go faster through each task and you’ll be sure none of these is skipped by mistake; plus staying organized like this will save you lots of time in a day.
Cleaning a home sparkling clean is not a task you can do in just one day, you need to break cleaning tasks up. Each of the daily tasks in this printable house cleaning checklist will repeat weekly, together with the weekly tasks and monthly, together with the monthly tasks. The weekly tasks will also repeat monthly, when you go though the monthly ones.
Sticking to this awesome cleaning schedule helps me stay on track and when the spring cleaning happens, most of the cleaning is done so everything is a lot smoother! I do all the daily tasks in the evening, before going to bed, the weekly tasks on Monday morning and the monthly tasks are done throughout the whole Monday.
The printable cleaning schedule comes in three different colors and the files are available to purchase here!
Cleaning schedule
Daily cleaning schedule
The daily schedule includes basic tasks you need to keep your home tidy and organized. You will not need to spend hours cleaning your house. These weekly tasks will not make your home sparkling clean but will help it look less like a huge, unmanageable mess.
Until recently, I used to just sweep the floors on a daily task and do the deep vacuuming weekly. But I just purchase one of those super cool vacuuming robots a couple of weeks ago and instead of sweeping the floors I just let this little guy do all the job! It’s been super great at saving me time and effort and makes weekly vacuuming almost gone. This amazing robot takes away all the dust on the floors on a daily basis so I only have to do some light vacuuming once a week, for the few spots the robot cannot reach or may have missed because they were too big to handle (like the super fluffy rug in our living room).

Weekly cleaning schedule
As I mentioned, I like to do all weekly tasks in one day and they usually take me about half a day. Fair enough, my house decor is pretty minimal so I don’t have a ton of cleaning to do.

You have a great site and great things to do. That said, I am an older person and I find that the light pinks and light blues in the text are very hard to read. Also they do not print out dark enough to read. If you have a non color printer they do not print at all. Thank you.
Peggy Brown. Thank you! I have long wished that many printouts were readable for eyes that are older, have glaucoma or other eye situations. Great food for thought!
I moved into my new home in June this year. I’m aiming to keep it as clean as It was the day I moved in. This schedule is really helpful for me, thanks for sharing!
