When I first posted my cleaning routines as blog entries, many of you said you love printable cleaning checklists. Apparently, several of you were printing them to post on your refrigerator or to put in your household notebook. But since you like things to be pretty — and easy enough for everyone in the family to follow — I’ve reformatted them into nifty free printable cleaning checklist slash flow-charts. I suggest printing and slipping them into a plastic page protector so you can use a dry erase marker or crayon to check off steps as you work. If you find them helpful, please do me a favor and tell your friends about HousewifeHowTos.com!

These are very nifty. I might even print them out. Honestly, I’ve always been pretty much haphazard in my cleaning. But these would help! I wondered, though: what does putting a sponge in the microwave do?
It disinfects the sponge, Terry. In fact, microwaving kills more germs and bacteria in sponges than bleach does!
We don’t have a microwave, so we just pour boiling water from the kettle over our sponge and let it sit.
Those are some handy lists, I’ll be printing them up
Thanks! I hope they’re clear enough that even the kids can help!
Love this! I just pinned it!
Thank you, Stephanie!
I love these cleaning charts. I think I will finally be able to egt my house under control. Do you have a daily chart for cleaning the living room/family room?

I must be doing something wrong. I’ve tried to print out your Daily Whole House Tidy Routine flow chart several times, changing from portrait to landscape, decreasing the size by 80%, and still cut off the bottom several steps. Can you help? I’d like to put it on my refrigerator as a flow chart instead of as a list. Thanks.
Judy, I’d suggest right-clicking and choosing ‘Save As’ so it downloads to your computer. Then you can open it in Word or whatever image program you prefer and adjust it to fit your specific printer.
Virginia, that is an excellent idea! I forget not everyone has a microwave, since I have a love-hate relationship with mine.
