How to use this checklist

Step 1

Pick the rooms

Choose the rooms you're cleaning today instead of trying to do the whole house at once.

Step 2

Work high to low

Dust shelves and fixtures first, then surfaces, and finish with the floors.

Step 3

Tick as you go

Check off each task so nothing is skipped and nothing gets done twice.
