Monthly Cleaning Schedule
Everything your weekly cleaning misses — fridge, oven, windows, baseboards — spread across one month so it never piles up.
The monthly deep-clean list
- Kitchen: fridge interior, oven, dishwasher cycle, behind appliances.
- Bathroom: grout, shower head descale, behind toilet, fan vent.
- All rooms: dust ceiling fans, light fixtures, baseboards, vents.
- Windows: inside and outside (weather permitting), sills, tracks.
- Soft surfaces: vacuum upholstery, wash throw pillows / blankets.
- Laundry: washing machine cleaning cycle, lint trap deep clean.
How to actually do it
Don't try to do all of this in one Saturday. Use the generator to spread one or two monthly tasks per weekend across the month. With four weekends and 8 monthly tasks, you'll do two short jobs per week instead of one ruined Saturday.
