A Weekly Cleaning Schedule That Takes 20 Minutes a Day

Keep your home tidy without losing your whole Saturday.

A Weekly Cleaning Schedule That Takes 20 Minutes a Day

Breaking chores into small daily tasks keeps your home consistently clean and frees up your weekends.

The schedule

  • Monday: kitchen counters, sink, and appliances
  • Tuesday: bathrooms
  • Wednesday: dust surfaces and wipe light switches
  • Thursday: vacuum and mop floors
  • Friday: laundry and change bed sheets
  • Saturday: one deep clean task, like the fridge or windows
  • Sunday: rest and plan the week

Daily habits

Make your bed, run the dishwasher before bed, and do a ten-minute reset of the living room each evening.

Set a timer. When it rings, you are done for the day, even if it is not perfect.
