We all wonder, either as new homeowners or old ones, what all we are supposed to be cleaning throughout the year. Well, we did a little research and made a helpful guide on what all we should be doing daily, weekly, monthly, and so on… check it out.

DAILY

• clean dishes that are in the sink and throw that sponge in the dishwasher every once in a while. Gnats and fruit flies love your unclean dishes
• wipe down bathroom and kitchen/dining surfaces daily to keep that granite you took 2 months to pick out looking new
• phone screens, remote controls & car keys ( bet you never cleaned those) should probably get a quick wet wipe or alcohol wipe down every day
• some people do a load of laundry a day to keep those baskets low- worth a try to see if it works for you

WEEKLY

• dust all exposed surfaces that need it
• vacuum main area floors and maybe take a mop to it all while you’re at it
• sheets, pillowcases, duvets, and towels- all in the wash
• throw away sponges from the week of dishes
• floss your teeth

MONTHLY

• wipe down baseboards and pantry shelves
• replace water filters, clean out tea kettle, coffee maker wipe down, microwave wipe out, and run something through that disposal
• mop or vacuum the rest of the house
• clean throw blankets and things that get used not as often, but do get used enough to need to clean them

QUARTERLY

• clean mattress pads, shower curtains
• clean out fridge, freezer and oven
• replace toothbrushes, air filters for HVAC, cosmetic sponges, and loofahs
• whiten your teeth

BIANNUALLY

• clean outside and inside of all windows
• curtains and drapes cleaned to avoid dust accumulation
• gutters need a blow out
• replace refrigerator water filters and toilet brushes
• go see your dentist (had to throw it in there)

ANNUALLY

• wipe down walls and doors
• clean all area rugs
• clean out garage and shed
• replace hair brushes (how long have you had that one you just used this morning?)
• de-clutter and donate things you’re not using or cleaning on this list
