Calendrier de ménage : quoi nettoyer chaque jour, semaine, mois et année

A house cleaning schedule turns “the house is a mess” into a short list of jobs with a time attached. Instead of losing a whole Saturday, you do a few minutes every day, one bigger session a week, and a handful of jobs each month and year. Below is a schedule you can copy, print or save to your phone, plus a simple way to decide which tasks to keep and which to hand to a recurring cleaner.

How to use this schedule

• Daily tasks take 10 to 20 minutes and stop mess from building up.
• Weekly tasks are the main clean: 1 to 3 hours depending on home size.
• Monthly tasks catch the spots a weekly clean skips.
• Every 3 to 6 months and yearly tasks are the deep jobs that keep a home in good shape long term.

Adjust for your household. Pets, kids, allergies and a busy kitchen all push tasks to a shorter cycle.

Daily house cleaning schedule (10 to 20 minutes)

• Make the beds.
• Wash dishes or load and run the dishwasher, and wipe the sink.
• Wipe kitchen counters and the stovetop after cooking.
• Do a quick pick-up of the living room and entry.
• Sweep or spot-vacuum the kitchen floor and the entry.
• Squeegee or wipe the shower after use.
• Sort the mail and take out trash if full.

Tip: link each daily task to something you already do. Wipe the counters while the kettle boils; squeegee the shower before you step out.

Do it all in one session, or split it into one zone a day (Monday kitchen, Tuesday bathrooms and so on) if you prefer short bursts.

Which tasks to hand to a recurring cleaner

The daily list is small and personal, so most people keep it. The weekly list is where a professional saves the most time, because it’s the longest and most physical. A simple split that works for many households:

• You keep: dishes, beds, daily pick-up, mail and laundry folding.
• Your recurring cleaner does: bathrooms, kitchen surfaces, dusting, vacuuming, mopping and trash, every week or every two weeks.
• Add as extras now and then: inside the oven, inside the fridge, inside cabinets, interior windows or laundry.
• Book a Nettoyer en profondeur two to four times a year to cover baseboards, grout and the 3-to-6-month list.

With Cleanster you can book nettoyage de la maison ou nettoyage d'appartement weekly, every 2 weeks, every 3 weeks or monthly. A recurring plan has a minimum of 10 cleanings. See how recurring plans work.
