Item details

A room-by-room checklist for a full clean of an ordinary Australian home. It follows the order our cleaners use: dust high to low, wipe dry before wet, and finish each room by working back towards the door so you never walk over a clean floor.

Tick it off as you go, or laminate it and use a whiteboard marker every week.

What's included
  • 2 A4 pages: kitchen, bathrooms, bedrooms, living areas, laundry and whole-home tasks
  • Tick boxes plus a notes line per room
  • Three colourways: neutral, sage and blush
How to use it
  1. Print on A4, or open it on a tablet and tick with a PDF reader.
  2. Start with the room that takes longest (usually the kitchen).
  3. Leave floors in every room until last.
Questions

How long does a full house clean take?
For a two-bedroom, one-bathroom home, allow three to four hours on your own. Kitchens and bathrooms take the most time.

What order should I clean in?
Top to bottom and dry to wet: dust, then wipe surfaces, then wet-clean, then floors last.

Can I share it?
Yes. Print it, share the link or put it on your fridge. Please don't sell it.
