Let’s be real—keeping your house clean can feel like a never-ending battle. You wipe down the counters, turn around, and somehow… there are crumbs again. You vacuum on Monday, and by Wednesday, it looks like you’ve been hosting a dust bunny convention.
After cleaning 600+ homes a month at Tidy Casa, I’ve seen exactly what people tend to miss (spoiler: it’s a lot). So, after months of testing, I put together the ultimate cleaning checklist—one that covers all the small but super important details people forget.
Stick to this, and your home will stay fresh, clean, and way less stressful to maintain.
Daily Cleaning (Because Dirt Never Takes a Day Off)
There are just some things you have to clean every day. If you skip them, they’ll snowball into a mess that will haunt you (looking at you, dishes).
- Bathroom sinks & mirrors – Toothpaste splatter? Gone.
- Kitchen counters & stovetops – Crumbs attract bugs, and grease builds up fast.
- Dishes & sink – A dirty sink = bad smells and regret.
- Quick floor sweep/vacuum – Dust bunnies multiply fast. Keep them in check.
Weekly Cleaning (The “Before Things Get Out of Hand” Stage)
These things don’t need daily attention, but if you ignore them for too long, you’ll wish you hadn’t.
- Scrub the bathroom (tub, toilet, shower, floor mats) – Mold and mildew are sneaky.
- Dust ceiling fans, electronics, and window sills – Less dust = easier breathing.
- Mop kitchen & bathroom floors – Goodbye, mystery sticky spots.
- Change bedsheets – Fresh sheets just hit different.
Monthly Cleaning (For the Stuff You Don’t Notice Until It’s Really Bad)
- Wipe down cabinets (kitchen & bathroom) – Grease and dust team up to make a sticky mess.
- Clean the fridge (inside & out) – Expired food is a science experiment waiting to happen.
- Scrub baseboards & door frames – These collect dust way faster than you think.
- Clean window tracks & blinds – Nobody likes dusty, allergy-triggering blinds.
Yearly (or Bi-Annual) Deep Cleaning (The “Wow, That’s Gross” List)
- Inside the oven & microwave – Because charred mystery food isn’t seasoning.
- Shampoo carpets & deep clean upholstery – Keeps them looking (and smelling) fresh.
- Dust AC vents & light fixtures – Helps your air stay clean.
- Scrub walls & remove cobwebs – Instantly makes your home feel newer.
