Free Printable Daily Cleaning Checklist (+Editable Version)

Did you ever ruin an entire weekend as you try to compensate for the negligence of skipping chores during work days? Yeah, me neither! I always found daily cleaning overwhelming until I came up with a plan. This free printable daily cleaning checklist gives me a solid cleaning schedule that’s easy to tackle and keeps me accountable. It turns out, having a sparkly home is not hard at all!

If you work on cleaning your house little by little, before you know it, the whole thing is going to be clean. And one day, you will wake up and realize that now all you have to do is maintenance cleaning and spot check cleaning. It’s a beautiful feeling to have!

🧼 Daily Cleaning Checklist

Getting into a cleaning routine takes a little bit of motivation and a schedule, just like the one we’re providing below! As long as you can write out what needs to be cleaned, you can hold your family accountable to make it happen. It’s amazing that writing down your tasks is such a powerful tool.

This free printable daily cleaning checklist comes with a premade schedule and checkboxes for 2 weeks. You simply need to get to work and start checking off completed tasks. I find it very rewarding!

You’ll find that once you start cleaning areas of your home on a consistent basis, it becomes easier and turns into a routine, almost overnight. And you just might find that cleaning is a great way to de-stress, too!  I love the feeling of walking into my kitchen and actually SEEING the countertops. 😁

As mentioned earlier, a daily cleaning schedule will keep you on the right track for getting your home clean in no time at all. The cleaning tasks below are organized by room (also included in the printable).

Kitchen Cleaning Schedule

If you’ve ignored some areas of your kitchen for a while, it will take a bit longer to restore it to its former glory. Stick to this daily schedule and you’ll soon complete all the tasks in no time!

• Wash dishes
• Clean sink
• Wipe stovetop & oven
• Wipe down table & countertops
• Sweep floors
• Empty trash bin

Bathroom Cleaning Schedule

As you might have noticed, we started with the most used rooms in the house, as they usually require some extra effort.

The initial deep clean is not the speediest but the follow-through will. Doing it daily will have you trade all the scrubbing for wiping.

• Wipe toilet bowl & seat
• Wipe mirrors & countertops
• Clean shower/bathtub
• Sweep floors
• Replace dirty towels

Bedroom Cleaning Schedule

I swear going to bed in a neat bedroom has greatly improved my rest quality. Ironically, it’s one of the easiest to maintain rooms. Giving it a bit of attention daily is all it takes.

• Declutter
• Make beds
• Fold & put away clothes
• Tidy up surfaces

Living Areas Cleaning Schedule

As the spaces where we gather with family and friends or relax after a long day, the living areas can easily become a magnet for clutter and chaos.

Think of it this way: just a few minutes each day can save you from a weekend-long cleaning marathon. No one wants to spend their precious free time battling dust bunnies and misplaced remotes.

• Vacuum/sweep where needed
• Declutter
• Fold blankets & throws
• Tidy up items
• Straighten up sofa pillows

Odds and Ends

Okay, let’s dish about those little extras that can really make your home shine! ✨

We’ve covered the main living areas, but what about those tasks that tend to fall through the cracks? You know, the “oh-I’ll-get-to-it-later” kind of chores? Well, this section is all about tackling those often forgotten tasks.

• Sort mail & packages
• Do one load of laundry
• Sweep porch

And speaking of tackling those often-forgotten tasks, have you seen my free printable monthly cleaning checklist? It’s perfect for those bigger jobs that don’t need to be done daily, like deep cleaning the oven or washing the windows.

📌 Tips For Your Daily Cleaning Routine

Alright, friend, before you dive headfirst into your cleaning routine, let’s talk strategy! A few simple tips and tricks can make all the difference in keeping your home sparkling and your sanity intact. 😉

👉Start Small – Don’t try to tackle everything at once. Begin with one room or even just one small task. Splitting the daily checklist into a 2-day project also works. Once you get the ball rolling, you’ll be surprised how quickly you can build momentum.

👉Set a Timer – Even just 15 minutes of focused cleaning can make a big impact. Set a timer and challenge yourself to see how much you can accomplish in that time.

👉Delegate – Okay, I’m going to say it: you don’t have to do all the cleaning. Get your spouse and kids involved. When everyone participates, they will all be encouraged to keep the house tidy. That means your daily maintenance will go even smoother.

🎁Bonus Freebie: Speaking of teamwork, my free printable cleaning checklist for kids is a wonderful tool to make your little mess-makers more responsible. It will also make those chores just a little more fun!

👉Be Flexible – Life happens! Don’t beat yourself up if you miss a day or two. Just pick up where you left off and keep moving forward.

Remember, the goal is to create a cleaning routine that works for YOU. So, experiment, find what works best, and enjoy the satisfaction of a clean and organized home! ✨
