House cleaning schedule: Daily, weekly & monthly

A good cleaning routine isn’t about perfection—it’s about consistency. Here’s how to break it down:

Daily cleaning tasks

These quick tasks help prevent clutter and buildup from getting out of control:

  • Make the beds
  • Wipe down kitchen counters and sink
  • Wash dishes or load/unload the dishwasher
  • Disinfect high-touch surfaces (door handles, light switches)
  • Tidy up common areas (put away shoes, toys, mail)
  • Take out the trash (especially kitchen and bathroom)

⏱ Time: ~15–30 minutes per day

Weekly cleaning tasks

Once a week, it’s time for a deeper refresh of the most-used spaces:

  • Dust furniture, shelves, baseboards
  • Vacuum carpets and rugs
  • Mop hardwood or tile floors
  • Clean bathrooms (toilets, showers, mirrors, sinks)
  • Change bed linens
  • Wipe down appliances (fridge exterior, microwave, stove)
  • Disinfect bathroom and kitchen trash bins

⏱ Time: ~1.5–3 hours depending on home size

Monthly cleaning tasks

Monthly tasks target areas that are easily overlooked:

  • Deep-clean inside the fridge and oven
  • Wash windows and window sills
  • Dust ceiling fans, vents, and light fixtures
  • Clean under furniture and beds
  • Organize closets and donate unused items
  • Wipe down doors, walls, and baseboards
  • Wash shower curtains or liners
  • Clean behind large appliances

⏱ Time: ~3–5 hours, can be split across weekends

Pro Tip: Combine your schedule with seasonal deep cleans (spring/fall) for the best results year-round.
