A wise woman once said: you don’t have to love cleaning, you just have to do it. I’m that woman! This free printable monthly cleaning checklist rescued me from cleaning overwhelm and it can help you too. There’s also a blank, editable version, so you can create your own cleaning schedule and finally have time for a weekend Netflix marathon!

Cleaning checklists make cleaning and organizing your home so much easier, especially if it is broken down into smaller sections or rooms like this.

You won’t become overwhelmed when you know you just need to follow along and check the box when you complete a task.

Spread out over the course of a week, or even the whole month, this is easily accomplished rather than treating it as a deep cleaning marathon.

If you’re feeling really ambitious, you can even combine this monthly cleaning schedule with my free printable weekly cleaning checklist and split the workload into smaller chunks!

✨ Monthly Cleaning Schedule

Cleaning motivation, coming in hot!

The first sheet is the prefilled monthly cleaning checklist. It has everything you need to accomplish a monthly cleaning of your home all organized room by room.

Kitchen

Kitchen appliances are like magnets for crumbs, spills, and splatters. Cleaning the kitchen is no easy feat so you might want to delegate some tasks.

And hey, if you’re feeling really ambitious, you can even try cleaning behind the refrigerator. Who knows what treasures you might find back there! 😉

  • Deep clean oven & stovetop
  • Clean fridge & freezer
  • Deep clean appliances
  • Scrub sink & faucet
  • Descale coffee machine
  • Unclog & deep clean drain

Bathroom

There’s nothing glamorous about descaling showerheads and unclogging drains. But it sure feels nice to enter a sparkling bathroom. Buckle up and grab those heavy-duty gloves!

  • Descale & clean faucets & shower heads
  • Wipe down cabinets & countertops
  • Wash shower curtains
  • Unclog drains
  • Clean & declutter under the bathroom sink
  • Wipe down walls

Living Areas

My living room is a high-traffic area. The main issues are clutter and dust, but after I’ve already done the kitchen and the bathroom, cleaning the living room feels like a breeze!

  • Vacuum sofa & sofa pillows
  • Wash blankets & throws
  • Straighten bookshelves & cabinets
  • Clean electronics
  • Steam clean carpets & rugs

Bedroom

A clean bedroom is a truly restful retreat. And there’s nothing like the feeling of slipping into freshly laundered sheets. Keeping it neat and sparkly is incredibly easy with the straightforward routine below.

  • Straighten drawers & closets
  • Wash pillowcases
  • Flip/rotate the mattress
  • Wash all bedding
  • Clean under the bed

Other/Everywhere

Some cleaning tasks just don’t fit neatly into a specific room category or should be done throughout the entire house.

That’s where this “Other/Everywhere” section comes in handy! From dusting ceiling fans to wiping down baseboards, these tasks will help you achieve a truly thorough clean throughout your entire home.

  • Dust & wipe window blinds
  • Dust ceiling fans & light fixtures
  • Wash windows & mirrors
  • Clean window tracks
  • Vacuum/polish all furniture
  • Wash area rugs
  • Remove cobwebs from walls & ceiling corners
  • Wipe all doors & trims
  • Wipe baseboards & moldings
  • Clean all curtains
  • Disinfect all trash cans
  • Clean return air vents

I know a monthly cleaning schedule might seem overwhelming, but trust me, it’s totally doable! If you’re looking for a more manageable routine, check out my free printable daily cleaning checklist. You’ll love it if you like to tackle those chores a little bit each day.

🧺 Editable Monthly Cleaning Checklist

Time to create your own monthly cleaning routine!

The blank printable is set up the same but gives you total control over how you want to arrange your monthly cleaning. This is great for Type A people who like things done a certain way or people with a smaller home or condo.

You can also use this editable monthly cleaning checklist to assign some cleaning tasks to your kids.

This will help them learn how to clean certain areas, and you get some rest! I also like to use this one when I need a bit more than a monthly clean but not quite a deep clean. This is a perfect time to use it.

✔️How To Edit – Once you download the file, open the PDF using the free Adobe Reader or any other PDF reader you prefer.

The fields highlighted in blue are fillable. The blue highlight won’t print, it’s just there to show the editable lines.

✏️Note: Some apps like Apple’s Preview can also open PDF files but they lack some capabilities so the original fonts can get replaced and make it look weird. If you want to keep the original look of the printable, use Adobe Reader or any other PDF reader.

✔️Blank Checklist – You can also print the editable sheet as is, and use it as a blank checklist you can manually fill in. Whatever gets your house clean!
