Do you struggle keeping your house clean? Or do you have a difficult time finding time to actually clean?

I dread cleaning and hate when I put it off so long that I need to spend a whole day cleaning. THE WORST!

Instead, I’m trying to do a quick cleaning more often. Cleaning more often helps me stay on top of everything and not let the house get too dirty.

Quick Cleaning Checklist

 

Living Room

I like to start in the common areas, just in case someone happens to drop by for a visit. At least the most used and most seen rooms will be clean! You can always shut the other doors. 😉

• Pickup clutter and place in a basket (a laundry basket would be perfect)
• Quickly dust surfaces with a dusting cloth
• Sweep or vacuum the floor and rugs
• Fold blankets and put away

Take your basket to the next room!

Kitchen

• Pick up all dirty dishes and place in the sink and dishwasher.
• Hand wash any pots, pans, and dishes that don’t go in the dishwasher.
• Run the dishwasher (if full)
• Wipe countertops with cleaner and a rag
• Take the trash out.
• Sweep or vacuum the floor and rugs
• Place anything that doesn’t belong in the kitchen in the basket.

Take your basket to the next room!

Bedrooms

To make this easier on you, give everyone the bedroom checklist to complete for their own room.

• Pick up clothes
• Sort laundry and take to laundry room
• Start load of laundry
• Make bed and change sheets if needed
• Vacuum
• Put away items from the basket that belong in the bedroom

Take your basket to the next room!

Bathrooms

• Take out trash
• Wipe countertops and sinks with cleaner and rag
• Refresh hand towel
• Pick up dirty towels and take to laundry room
• Clean toilet and wipe seat clean
• Spray cleaner in shower and rinse
• Sweep and vacuum the floor and rugs
• Put away items from the basket that belong in the bathroom

Other Areas

• Take your basket around and put away items where they belong
• Take all trash out
• Aim to do 1 or 2 loads of laundry a day so it doesn’t pile up

Use the Other space on your checklist to write in other areas that need to be included for your home.
