What Is a Cleaning Schedule?

A cleaning schedule spreads the housework across the week and month, so a few small jobs each day replace one big clean. It shows what needs doing and when, and in a shared home it makes clear who does what.

Which Cleaning Schedule Should You Use?

• Weekly cleaning schedule: everyday jobs with a tick box for each day.
• Cleaning schedule by room: kitchen, bathroom, bedrooms and living room, with how often and a day for each job.
• Monthly cleaning schedule: bigger jobs such as the oven and windows, spread over the weeks of the month.
• Cleaning rota or roommate schedule: a name for each job each week, for shared houses, offices and staffrooms.

How to Set Up a Cleaning Schedule

1. List the jobs your home needs, and cross out any that do not apply.
2. Decide how often each job needs doing: daily, weekly or monthly.
3. Give each day two or three small jobs, so no day is too much.
4. Tick jobs off as you go, and swap jobs round in a shared home.

Pair the cleaning schedule with a chore chart, so children have their own jobs too.
