What Should A House Cleaning Checklist include?

Keeping a clean house is a great way to feel organized and in control of your life. But it can be hard to remember what you’ve already done, or even what needs to be done. A good cleaning checklist can help with that! Having a list makes it easy to keep track of all the tasks involved in keeping your home clean. 

It also makes it faster and easier for you when doing your weekly cleaning routine because everything is written down — no more forgetting important things like vacuuming while rushing out the door! If you’re wondering how to make your own checklist or what should be on yours, keep reading! Here are some ideas for creating one that works for your own household:

Kitchen

• Clean up spills immediately.
• Wash dishes as soon as you can, or at least before they get too crusty.
• Clean your sink after each use, so that it stays shiny and doesn’t get clogged with food particles or hair.
• Clean the stovetop after you’re done cooking something on it—there’s nothing worse than eating a meal off of a dirty stove top!
• Clean the refrigerator and freezer regularly, because who wants to eat old leftovers? Or worse yet…rotten food? No one does! So clean them out regularly!
• Clean the oven regularly (after you’ve used it), because otherwise it can get gross and rancid smelling over time if not cleaned properly

Bedrooms

• Make sure you have a clean set of sheets on the bed.
• Clean your mattress.
• Make sure your pillows are clean and dry, or replace them if they need to be replaced (if you use antimicrobial pillow protectors, this is especially important).
• Clean your bedside tables to remove dust and stains from books, papers, etc., so that they don’t cause sneezing fits when guests visit.
• Clean out and organize the closet in which this bed resides, making sure there are no clothing items visible except for those which are clean and tidy at all times. If needed, hire an organizer who specializes in homes with children under 10 years old; such experts can help prioritize what needs to be done most urgently as well as how best to organize everything else over time so that it stays organized efficiently without becoming overwhelming later on down the road when things inevitably become more chaotic again due to wear-and-tear over time (because of course kids grow up!).

Bathrooms

• Clean the toilet: Check the tank, bowl, and lid for any smudges or buildup of grime. Use a toilet brush to get rid of stubborn stains and clean around the rim with a disinfectant wipe. For extra protection against odor-causing bacteria, add some white vinegar to your cleaning solution before scrubbing away at those hard-to-reach places (but don’t forget to rinse well when you’re done).
• Clean the sink: Give it a good scrub down with soap and water along with an abrasive sponge or toothbrush; then finish up by wiping out any remaining residue with paper towels or cloths so that your sink doesn’t look like its been sitting there for days on end (which it probably has). As for your faucets? To get rid of lime scale buildup from hard water use vinegar in place of regular bleach—it’ll do just as much damage without leaving behind harsh chemical odors!
• Clean around fixtures and taps as necessary—you may need to pull them off if they’re stuck on tight.”

Carpet and Furniture Cleaning

The next step in your house cleaning checklist is to have your carpets and furniture professionally cleaned. It is important for you to have this done at least once a year, but more often if you have children or pets who track in dirt and debris from outside on their shoes. Professional cleaning can help remove stains, odors, and dust mites from carpeting that over time can cause respiratory problems for those living in the home. 

It also prolongs the life of your carpeting by preventing it from deteriorating prematurely due to age or prolonged exposure to harsh elements such as sunlight or extreme temperatures (such as those found near a fireplace).

Furniture should be cleaned regularly as well because it can trap dirt particles too small for us humans with our naked eye to see—and these particles are what cause odors over time! Also regular maintenance will extend the life of your furniture since it will remain looking newer longer without being damaged by daily use like dining chairs might be if they were not maintained regularly through Monthly Cleaning Services Dubai.

Vacuuming carpets and floors

The first step to vacuuming is to use a vacuum with a rotating head, such as the Dyson 360 Eye. This will help remove embedded dirt from carpeted floors and rugs.

Next, you’ll want to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter in order to trap allergens and other pollutants in your home.

Finally, it’s important that you have enough cord length on your cordless stick vacuum so that you don’t have to unplug and replug as you work through different rooms of your house or apartment. You should also make sure that your stick vacuum has an extension cable (like this one) so that it can reach into corners and under appliances without having any trouble getting there at all!

When vacuuming carpets or hardwood floors (or even tile), remember these tips:

• Vacuum in the direction of the nap of your carpeting/rugs/etc.; this helps prevent premature wear-and-tear from occurring before its time! For example: if there’s an arrow printed on top side…

Sweeping and mopping floors

Floors are one of the most important places to clean in your home. That’s why it’s important that you don’t rush through them when you’re making a checklist for cleaning each room. After sweeping up larger particles, use a mop to wipe away smaller ones and any water or dirt that remains on your floor. Then wring out your mop as dry as possible, so that excess water doesn’t drip on your freshly-swept floor.

When mopping, use either a bucket or squeegee to collect dirty water from the area you’ve just mopped (this will prevent any liquid from dripping onto other areas). If you choose the bucket route, then dump out the dirty liquid into an appropriate place once you’ve finished using it (such as outdoors).

Emptying trash

If you want to keep your home clean, it’s important that you empty your trash regularly. Otherwise, your home can become a very smelly and unhygienic place. You don’t want that to happen, do you?

So make sure that you know these tips for keeping your garbage in check:

• Empty the trash weekly or daily if possible. If this isn’t possible because of the amount of garbage produced in your household then increase the frequency of emptying bins as necessary until they are emptied at least once per week (it’s also a good idea to use smaller cans with lids so that odors are contained). Don’t leave bags sitting around outside where they could attract pests or animals; instead store them inside until it is time for pickup by municipal services or hire someone else who can handle this task for less money than hiring professionals would cost (such as friends/family members).

High and low dusting

Some of the items on your checklist will be high and low dusting. This is when you reach up to the ceiling and down to the floor. You can use a broom or duster for this, but it may be easier to use a feather duster. Make sure that you dust tops of doors and windows as well!

Cleaning door handles and light fixtures

The door handles and light fixtures in your home are among the most touched surfaces, so they need a bit of extra attention. You can use a damp cloth to clean them, but don’t use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaning products.

Dusting windows, window sills and ledges

• Use a soft cloth to dust windows, window sills and ledges.
• Use a duster with a long handle to clean the tops of windows and door frames. If you have tall doors or windows, invest in one of these handy gadgets that gets into nooks and crannies too high to reach otherwise—you can even get ones with disposable covers so you don’t need to wash them between uses!
• A squeegee is also good for cleaning the outside of windows (especially if they’re open), but it’s important that you make sure it isn’t made from any toxic materials first!

Changing linen (often as an additional service)

Linen should be changed once a week, unless you have extra-dirty guests. This can be done as an additional service by the housecleaner or by you and your family. Here’s what a linen change entails:

• Remove sheets and towels from all beds, wash bedding in cold water with mild detergent (no bleach), then hang in the sun to dry. If weather permits, set out so that it has minimal contact with allergens like pollen, pet dander and dust mites. Your pillow should be washed at least every two weeks; if you’re allergic to dust mites or have asthma, wash them more frequently! Be sure to use cool water for this step too—hot water will only make matters worse for your allergies/asthma issues (and possibly melt your mattress).
• Vacuum mattresses thoroughly before putting on clean sheets; they’ll look fresh longer if they’re not covered with crumbs or hairballs!
• Dust furniture using an appropriate cloth attachment on your vacuum cleaner (a damp cloth works well too). Don’t forget about baseboards! Make sure these are wiped down when dusting; otherwise cobwebs will accumulate quickly between them and the floorboards below them

Wiping windows and mirrors

Wiping windows and mirrors.

• Use a lint-free cloth to wipe down all the surfaces of your windows/mirrors in your house, starting at the top of each pane and working your way down. If you have glass doors, use a squeegee to remove water from them after rinsing them with warm water (but don’t dry them off with paper towels or they could scratch).

Tidying up the house

• Living room
• Kitchen
• Bedrooms
• Bathrooms
• Carpets and furniture (if you have any)
• Windows and mirrors (you can use Windex to make cleaning easier)

Removing cobwebs

There are several ways to remove cobwebs, but they all involve the same basic process:

• Use a broom or long-handled dustpan to sweep them away from the wall. This will prevent them from falling on your furniture and floors.
• Wrap the end of a long-handled brush in thick paper towel or cotton balls, then use it to gently lift the webs off walls, ceilings, and any other hard surfaces. If there’s still some stubborn webbing left on your walls after you do this step, try spraying them with some water mixed with vinegar (about 2 parts water to 1 part vinegar). This should soften up any remaining sticky residue so that it’s easy for you to wipe away with an old rag or sponge.

Wiping surfaces including appliances and fixtures

Wiping down all surfaces, including appliances, fixtures and fixtures is a must. It helps to get rid of the grime that builds up on the walls over time. Make sure you clean all appliances, including the inside of your fridge! Do this at least once a month to keep your kitchen clean and sanitary. Cleaning fixtures such as light switches and door handles is also important because they accumulate dust quickly if not cleaned regularly.

Finally make sure you wipe down sinks and toilets every day as these are two areas that build up dirt quickly due to regular use.

Weekly checklists can help you make sure your home stays clean and organized.

A weekly checklist can be a great way to ensure that your home stays clean and organized. You can use checklists for many things, not just cleaning. Checklists are helpful in providing direction, structure, and focus when tackling any task or project.

Even if you’re not the type of person who likes to write down step-by-step instructions for yourself (or others), using a simple checklist may be just what you need to get started with some of those tasks or projects that have been lingering on the back burner.

Conclusion

If you’re a busy person who doesn’t have time to clean, hiring a house cleaner is the best way to ensure that your home stays neat and tidy. Having weekly checklists means that even if you can’t do all of these things yourself, then at least someone else will be doing them for you!
