Editorial standards

What you read on this site is written by humans with first-hand experience of the household situations the pages describe. This page documents how that content is researched, reviewed, kept up to date, and corrected when we get something wrong.

Who writes the content

All long-form content on CleaningScheduleGenerator.com — landing-page copy, FAQs, how-to guides — is written by the in-house team at Not Another Mate Software GmbH. We do not commission AI-generated articles, we do not republish syndicated affiliate content, and we do not accept paid guest posts of any kind. If a page recommends a product, no money has changed hands for that recommendation.

How we research

Each landing page covers a specific household situation (roommates, families, post-partum, shift workers, dorm rooms, large houses, etc.). Before publishing, we either draw on direct lived experience of the situation or interview at least one person who is currently in it. Cleaning-product chemistry, surface-care recommendations, and any time-sensitive claim are cross-checked against manufacturer documentation and well-cited public sources (NHS / CDC / EPA where relevant). We avoid pinning opinion to a "study says" framing unless we can name the study.

What we will and will not publish

  • We will publish opinionated, specific advice ("zone your week", "skip cleaning post-night-shift") and label it as opinion when it is ours.
  • We will publish tested cleaning-product combinations ("vinegar + microfiber for most surfaces") with the caveats that matter (avoid stone, avoid waxed wood).
  • We will not publish medical claims, allergy claims, or mould-remediation advice that needs a professional. Where a topic touches health, we redirect readers to qualified sources.
  • We will not publish affiliate-driven product roundups of the "best 10 cleaning sprays" variety. They are dishonest by design.

Update cadence

Every landing page is reviewed at least every 12 months. High-traffic pages — the main generator, the family chart, the roommate rota — are reviewed quarterly. When a page is updated we change the on-page "Last updated" line where present and the lastmod entry in our sitemap. Substantive changes (re-written sections, new FAQs, removed claims) are noted in our public changelog where applicable.

Corrections policy

If you find an error — factual, technical, or accessibility-related — please email hello@cleaningschedulegenerator.com with the URL and a short description. We aim to acknowledge within two business days and, if the correction is valid, to publish the fix within five. For factual corrections that materially change the meaning of a page, we add a brief "Corrected on YYYY-MM-DD" note at the bottom of that page rather than silently overwriting history.

AI use

We use AI tools for code completion, internal note-taking, and spell-checking. We do not use AI to generate published prose. If we change that policy in future — for example, using AI for first-draft translations — we will document the use, the model, and the human review step here.

Sponsorship and conflicts of interest

We have no editorial sponsors. We do not run sponsored content. The only revenue streams on this site are (1) display ads served via Google AdSense — which the AdSense program polices for content independence — and (2) the optional premium template pack, which is our own product. If we ever take on outside investment that could create an editorial conflict, that fact will be disclosed on this page.

Accessibility

We aim for WCAG 2.1 AA. Pages must be keyboard-navigable, support prefers-reduced-motion, work without colour as the only signal, and produce sensible printable PDFs that are screen-reader compatible. Accessibility issues are treated as bugs, not enhancements.
