House Cleaning Checklist - Do You Need One?

If you're like me when I'm house cleaning, it can sometimes be difficult to remember all of the things you want to clean and organize. That's where a house cleaning checklist can really come in handy.

I'm going to list most of the basics for any checklist, but in our Speed Cleaning Blueprint we have downloadable and printable house cleaning checklists and schedules that are extremely helpful.

Kitchen

• Dishes washed and put away
  
  
• Sinks cleaned and shined
  
  
• Counters and backsplash clean
  
  
• Appliances and cabinet doors wiped and cleaned
  
  
• Floors swept/vacuumed and mopped
  
  
• Trash dumped

Bathrooms

• Sinks cleaned and shined as well as vanity tops
  
  
• Toilet cleaned and disinfected
  
  
• Tub/shower cleaned and disinfected
  
  
• Mirrors cleaned
  
  
• Towels changed
  
  
• Trash removed
  
  
• Floors swept/vacuumed and mopped

Bedrooms/Family Room/Living Room

• All areas picked up and items put away
  
  
• Bed linens changed
  
  
• All furniture dusted
  
  
• Trash taken out
  
  
• Mirrors and pictures cleaned

These are only the typical things found on your basic house cleaning checklist. It can be a very handy tool to use on a regular basis. I recommend it for everyone.
