One of the ways to reduce the time spent on cleaning your home every week is by having a house cleaning checklist. We all have trouble from time to time not only remembering what we need to clean, but also staying much better organized. This is why a checklist can help keep us on the right track, as well as speed up the process.

The good news here is that you don't have to spend all day trying to build a spreadsheet on your computer for your own checklist. In fact, I'll show you later how you can get a nice one that you can print off and use yourself.

The key point is to have a sheet where you can have everything you need to do in order to help you get the job done quicker. Here are some of the most basic house cleaning areas to put on any type of checklist.

Bathroom

-Clean all sinks, vanity tops and mirrors

-Clean toilet and disinfect

-Clean tub and shower walls

-Empty trash cans

-Change out all towels and washrags

Kitchen

-Wash and clean all dirty dishes

-Put all dishes up and pick up clutter from counters

-Scrub sinks

-Clean all counter tops and back splash

-Wipe down small appliances-cabinets-oven-cook top and refrigerator

-Sweep kitchen floor

-Mop floors

-Empty trash can

Bedrooms - Living room - Family Room - Den

-Pick up all clutter and put away

-Dust all furniture and electronics

-Change all bed linens

-Empty trash cans

-Vacuum floors

This is only a quick house cleaning checklist that includes the basics. With that being the case though, I think you can see how it helps you not only stay better organized, but also remember areas that need completed. Isn't that what we all want?
