Readers Ask: Where Can I Get Lists of Housekeeping Tasks to Keep my House Clean?
So many readers have asked for help setting up their housekeeping plans that I’ve decided to make available my new series: Printable Housekeeping Checklists – Forms for Your LifeTM The best part is, these printables are yours for FREE!
Print today’s Housekeeping Checklist:
“The How Do I Clean the Bathroom? Checklist”
Every house is different, and not all the tasks on our lists will apply to every home. However, this will give you a great starting point to get your house into shape and customize your own housekeeping plan. There are even blank lines at the bottom to add in tasks specific to your home.
I recommend printing the checklist then laminating it so it can be used over and over with a dry erase marker. If you do not have a laminator, you can just print multiple copies.
Our checklists make it easy to delegate housekeeping chores to family members. If you’ve ever assigned someone to clean the bathroom and then been asked, “How do I clean the bathroom?,” you will see that this checklist is justly named! Take your children and/or spouse through the list step by step, explaining and demonstrating each job. Hang the checklist in an accessible place in the room. (Clipboards work very well for this purpose.) Insist that the name and date is filled out at the top of the list and each item is checked off by the person cleaning the room. For the first few times you’ll be double checking that each task was completed and done properly, but practice makes perfect. Our lists ensure that the job will be done the same way every time and no tasks will be missed or forgotten. You’ll never again wonder when a room was last cleaned, and you won’t hear “How do I clean the bathroom?” anymore!

Fabulous checklist. I plan to hang it up in the bathroom as a reminder for my daughter when she cleans her bathroom. Thanks for including it on your blog!
I love your kitchen/bathroom checklists. Do you have one for the entire home that gives suggestions for what to do/clean each day/week? Thanks!
@ Pia: Great idea to use it for your daughter!
@ Amy F: Thank you! We don’t have a printable schedule for the entire home yet, but we look forward to releasing something similar in the next few months. Thanks for reading!

Thank You! Thank You! One question…what is ABC? An all-purpose cleaner?
The printable checklist for Kitchen is bathroom is great! Would love to see one for livingroom, bedrooms etc! =))
I have used your checklist and can report that it worked for me really well. I also included the walls on my cleaning. And used Sugar Soup cleaner for the entire bathroom. It is very well cleaned.
@Claudia: We include the walls on our deep cleaning routine. I’m so glad you like the checklist!
