Household Chore Rota
Split the jobs between everyone in the house before the month starts, so the question of whose turn it is has already been answered in writing.
Cleaning and routines · CR-01
A free printable weekly cleaning schedule — your own jobs down the side, the days across the top, and a box to tick for each one.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Hold your own weekly routine on one page and see what has actually been done. The jobs are yours to write in; the grid is the part worth printing.
Anyone running a household, a shared house or a flat, and cleaners who want the week written down rather than remembered.
The layout is fixed at a size that fits both A4 and US Letter, so the A4 and Letter files are visually identical and print at full size on either. Rows are set at a height that an adult can actually write a date and a few words into with a pen — most printable tables are built in a word processor and never tested with one.
Because the answer depends on your home, not on ours. A flat with one bathroom and a farmhouse with a dog do not share a routine, and a printed plan that fits neither gets thrown away. The short list on the sheet is a prompt to argue with, not a schedule to follow.
This one covers a single week and is usually filled in by one person. The chore rota runs across a month and splits the jobs between several people by name.
Split the jobs between everyone in the house before the month starts, so the question of whose turn it is has already been answered in writing.
Work through the deep-clean backlog one room at a time, and know which jobs you have actually done. Nobody remembers the extractor filter without a list.
Turn a vague intention to look after the house into a page you can tick off, so the jobs that only need doing once or twice a year actually get done.
We are building this library out steadily. Leave an address and we will send the new sheets as they are finished — nothing else, and no more than one email a week.
Sign-up is not live yet — we have not connected an email provider, so this form is switched off rather than quietly collecting addresses.
