Keeping your home clean isn’t about doing everything every day, it’s about knowing what to clean and when. Following a weekly cleaning routine helps you save time, reduce effort, and keep every room organized without feeling overwhelmed.
If you want a spotless home all week long, here’s your guide to what to clean each day and the ideal cleaning frequency for every area of the house.
Monday: Focus on the Kitchen
Start your week by taking care of the heart of your home.
The kitchen is where grease and food residue build up the most, so it deserves special attention.
Monday tasks:
- Wipe countertops and surfaces.
- Clean the microwave, stove, and sink.
- Empty the trash and replace the bag.
- Mop the floor.
👉 Pro tip: Doing a light daily cleaning prevents buildup and makes deep cleaning easier.
Tuesday: Living Room and Common Areas
After a busy weekend, give attention to the spaces where everyone gathers.
Tuesday tasks:
- Dust furniture and electronics.
- Vacuum sofas, carpets, and cushions.
- Organize books, magazines, and decor.
- Mop or vacuum the floor.
👉 Tip: Use a neutral cleaner and finish with a mild air freshener to keep the space welcoming.
Wednesday: Bedrooms and Bedding
Good rest starts in a clean, well-ventilated room.
Wednesday tasks:
- Change bed linens.
- Air out mattresses and pillows.
- Organize closets and drawers.
- Vacuum the floor and rugs.
👉 Ideal frequency: Change sheets weekly, and wash blankets and pillows every two weeks.
Thursday: Bathrooms
The bathroom requires detailed cleaning to prevent stains, mold, and unpleasant odors.
Thursday tasks:
- Scrub the toilet and sink.
- Clean mirrors and the shower area.
- Replace towels and bath mats.
- Disinfect the floor.
👉 Pro tip: Use specific products for each surface and finish with a dry cloth for extra shine.
Friday: Laundry and Outdoor Areas
Get ready for the weekend by freshening up utility and outdoor areas.
Friday tasks:
- Wash the sink or laundry tub.
- Organize cleaning products.
- Sweep the porch, balcony, or backyard.
- Wipe down doors and windows.
👉 Frequency: Sweep outdoor areas two to three times a week and wash them as needed.
Saturday: Quick Touch-Ups
Use Saturday for a light cleaning session, just enough to maintain order before relaxing on Sunday.
Saturday tasks:
- Do quick touch-ups in main rooms.
- Reclean floors and mirrors if needed.
- Organize entryways and common spaces.
