Maintaining a clean house is beneficial to your mental and physical health. It can be a daunting and tedious task, but with a little organization and up keep, it becomes second nature over time. Whether you are already organized and looking for alternative ideas or just do not know where to begin, this house cleaning checklist can benefit your daily life.

There are so many factors that come into play when preparing your house cleaning checklist and house cleaning schedule, but I will touch on a few. This house cleaning checklist will give you ideas for how to fully utilize your resources when beginning your house cleaning schedule and checklist. So, let us begin.

For the kitchen, I suggest a 4 in 1 spray cleaner with bleach. For nearly every other surface you can buy a multi-surface cleaner. If you are health conscious, there are many cleaners that are natural and do not contain harsh chemicals. You should know that the kitchen counter actually has a larger quantity and diversity of bacteria than your toilet. If you are still worried about your health, ventilate well and wear a mask. So as not to waste, use rags instead of paper towels. Also, for the kitchen you will need a broom or vacuum, and mop.

These supplies can also be used for bathrooms and foyers. For upholstery and carpet in the living room and bedrooms there are a number of products to remove stains and freshen. Always pay attention to labels. You do not want to bleach expensive furniture. Now that you have the basic cleaning supplies, you can begin your check list.

Begin with one room at a time. Note all windows, counter, table tops etc… These should be cleaned first because residue will fall to the floor. Upholstery and furniture can be cleaned along with these items. Clean furniture using circular motions and wipe gently with cold water. Allow ample time to dry, because; these chemicals can linger in the air. These chemicals can also injure your pets. Then, you may sweep or vacuum. Carpets are a breeding ground for bacteria, so spend ample time spot treating and steam cleaning, if you can afford it. If money is not an issue, get hard wood floors. If you have curtains, vacuum, dry clean, or wash them yourself.

When sweeping and vacuuming, be sure to move furniture if necessary. Any dust or dirt that is left behind will eventually make its way onto your clean floor and, your work with be somewhat in vain. Do not move furniture that is too heavy, risking injury to yourself or others. When cleaning the kitchen, do not neglect the refrigerator. Throw away all food passed the expiration date. Removable shelves and drawers from the refrigerator can be put in the dish washer. When returning the food, turn all labels forward. This cuts down on wasted food. Clean your cupboards; Food residue will attract bugs. For bedrooms, clean bedding once a week. This will dramatically freshen up your bedroom.

Always change filters with central heating and air. Don’t be afraid to throw away things that you do not need. Hoarding junk just collects dust, mildew, mold, and bacteria. Create a house cleaning schedule. This will insure your house stays clean. If you have family members give each one of them a specific job each day. You can use a large graph to keep tabs on progress. In my family, we put a gold star or a check next to completed tasks. This gives the younger children a sense of accomplishment and, lets the adults know the work is done. Always inspect the work to make sure it is done properly.

I hope this guide for a house cleaning schedule and a house cleaning checklist will benefit your quality of life. Thank you for reading!
