Weekly Cleaning Checklist

Who this is for

The once-a-week jobs, grouped by room. Each room has its own short tick list, to be done in one session or spread across the week, a room at a time.

Households, flat-shares and anyone cleaning their own home to a weekly rhythm. Also useful as a plain hand-over sheet for a cleaner, with the jobs you want done ticked in advance.

What this helps you track

• Every room's weekly jobs on one page, so nothing is done twice or not at all
• Which rooms are finished and which are still to do this week
• The jobs you have added that are particular to your home
• A record, if you date each sheet, of what got done week by week

How to use it

1. Write the week beginning and who is doing the cleaning at the top.
2. Cross out any job that does not apply and add your own on the blank lines under each room.
3. Work through one room at a time, or spread the rooms over the week — the sheet does not care which.
4. Tick each job as it is finished, on paper or in the browser version.
5. Keep the finished sheets if you want to see which jobs are always the ones left undone.

Formats

• Printable PDF (A4 and US Letter)
• Fillable PDF with form fields
• Fill in online, saved in your browser

The printable is laid out inside a box that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the two files are identical and neither one is scaled. The fillable PDF has real form fields. The online version keeps what you enter in your own browser and builds the completed PDF on your device.

How to print

Download the A4 or US Letter file to match the paper in your printer, open it in a PDF reader and print at 100% — not "fit to page", which shrinks the writing space. Both files leave a 14 mm margin, which clears the unprintable edge on home printers. To print the online version with your entries in it, use the Print this sheet button, which prints only the sheet and none of the page around it. More on printing.

Questions

Is a weekly clean enough?

That depends on your home and your standard, and we do not set one. The daily checklist covers the short everyday jobs and the monthly checklist covers the deeper ones; this sheet sits between them. Use whichever combination fits.

Can I give this to a cleaner?

Yes. Tick or highlight the jobs you want done before handing it over, add anything particular to your home, and ask for the sheet back with the jobs ticked. It is not a contract or a price list — just the list of jobs.

Why are there no products or methods on it?

Because the sheet is for any home and any standard. What you clean with, and how, is your choice; the sheet only records what was done.

What if my house has rooms that are not on here?

Each room section has blank lines for your own items, and the browser version lets you add as many as you like. For an unusual room, the custom checklist generator builds a list from scratch.
