Keeping your home clean can sometimes feel like an endless to-do list. We get it—it’s tough to balance work, family, and life, especially when dust bunnies seem to multiply overnight! At Neatology, we’ve spent years perfecting the art of cleaning homes in the Kootenays, and we’re here to help you take the guesswork out of staying on top of things.

Here’s the ultimate 2024 cleaning checklist to keep your home spotless all year round. Save it, print it, or bookmark it—this is your new cleaning BFF.

Daily Tasks

  • Make your bed (it’s the easiest way to make your room look put together).
  • Wipe down kitchen counters and sink.
  • Sweep or vacuum high-traffic areas.
  • Do a quick bathroom check: wipe the sink and hang towels neatly.

Weekly Tasks

  • Vacuum and mop all floors.
  • Dust surfaces (don’t forget those sneaky spots like baseboards and ceiling fans).
  • Clean mirrors and windows for a streak-free shine.
  • Change bed linens for that fresh-sheet feeling.

Monthly Tasks

  • Deep clean appliances: fridge, oven, and microwave.
  • Tidy up closets and drawers—decluttering counts as cleaning!
  • Check for cobwebs in corners and light fixtures.

Seasonal Tasks

  • Wash windows inside and out (we see you, Cranbrook sun streaks!).
  • Shampoo carpets or rugs.
  • Flip and rotate your mattress for even wear.
  • Declutter your garage or storage areas—looking at you, Kimberley skiers!
