Weekly Checklist for House Cleaning
Having a weekly checklist for house cleaning helps you to run a more efficient household. Not all cleaning chores need to be done on a daily basis. Many can be done weekly to maintain a nice clean home and home office.
Something to keep in mind is that there are two situations that can make a home feel dirty even though it's clean. One is allowing too much clutter to build up - therefore, it's important to declutter fast! The other is to 'hoard', where you simply cannot bear to throw anything away. Maintaining a system where you properly declutter your home will help you to steer clear of that.
Get our your household notebook (the one you should keep handy that contains all your lists - daily cleaning, weekly, monthly - groceries, etc.) These household cleaning tips are meant for cleaning that is done weekly. Pick a day of the week when you know that you can devote a couple of hours and get started, or assign different weekly tasks to different days.
Weekly Checklist for House Cleaning
- Dust - all surfaces.
- Wipe down all counter tops in the kitchen. Take everything off and spray down with kitchen cleaner.
- Scrub kitchen sink.

- Run vacuum in all carpeted areas.
- Change bed linens and wash, fold and put away.
