I do a little Spring cleaning but I don’t usually have a lot to do because I try to stick to a regular cleaning schedule throughout the year. I made this same Cleaning Schedule Printable for you to also use. The link to print it is at the bottom of this post.
I printed mine out in 2 different sizes. One for the side of the fridge and one for my day planner. I actually use the one in my day planner most of the time, but I’m in the kitchen a lot so I use it for reference. It also comes in handy for me to give the kids extra chores.
Trim the papers to size then laminate them so you can use a dry erase maker to check off the chores as you do them. Use clear shelf liner to laminate the sheets. It’s really inexpensive and comes in a big roll. Sandwich the cleaning schedule between 2 pieces of laminate then trim the laminate just slightly larger than the paper. I’ve since purchased a laminator and I love it. It was about $25 so it has been well worth the money.
The schedule on the side of the fridge is 8×10 size, just for reference.
I laminated the cleaning schedule inside the front cover of my planner by cutting the laminate slightly larger than the sheet and placing it on top, smoothing it out as I attached it. I made this sheet 4×6 to fit in my planner easily.
Use a dry erase marker to check off the chores as you do them. Once a new day, week, or month starts wipe it off and start over again. I also added “Don’t Put It Down Put It Away”on the sheet as a reminder. Most clutter happens because we just lay something down where it doesn’t belong. You will save a lot of time by taking just a minute to put things where they actually belong.
I hope this Cleaning Schedule Printable helps you as much as it does me. Since I’ve started working outside the home it’s been even more important to stick to the schedule as much as I can. I’m still trying to find a good balance of which chores I do in the morning and which ones I do once I get home from work.

Just wanted to thank you for the amazing ideas that you share with us! I love your site and always love to get that email from you! It just gets me to “do” chores that I love to ignore! I feel organized and actually do the chores now!!!
I also love getting the emails, and giving me the reminders that I check off to complete as many of these chores as possible, to really enjoy the things I want to do with a cleaner, more organized house. It’s like breathing more deeply afterwards, and contentedly!
Thank you Karen! I’m so glad you’re benefiting from these posts. My whole goal is to help others enjoy their homes to the fullest. It is like a breath of fresh air to have a clean and organized home.
