How to Make a House Cleaning Checklist

A house cleaning checklist can take your cleaning to the next level by keeping you organized and efficient. It's extremely easy to make your own house cleaning checklist instead of spending extra money on ready made lists.

Instructions

1. Open up a word processing program on your computer and make sure that you have some paper loaded in your printer. You don't need a specific program to make a house cleaning list, any program will do.

2. Set the page view to landscape instead of portrait. This will allow you to have more columns than rows. The columns you create will be used to label the cleaning task, and putting the page in landscape view will allow more room for check marks to add up.

3. 

   Draw three vertical lines using a line tool that are spaced equally apart, effectively creating four equally sized columns.

4. 

   Create another line one inch down from the top margin that runs horizontally across the page. This will make a small section for labels above each column. See the picture attached to this step for further clarification.

5. 

   List each room in your house vertically from top to bottom in the column located to the far left hand side. For example, you would put - "Living Room" "Dining Room" "Bathroom" etc. Label the top of the far left column "Room."

6. 

   Put a name for each task you want to complete along the top of each column. This could be "Vacuum and Dust" or "Mop Floor" etc.

7. 

   Print out as many copies of your list as you need. Each time you complete a task you simply put a check mark in the area of the task column that corresponds with the room name in each row. Make sure that you save this file so you can go back and edit it according to whatever cleaning tasks you need to get done next time.
