Who it's for
Households doing a spring clean, people moving in or out, hosts preparing for guests or the holidays, and cleaners who want a checklist for clients.
Getting the most from a deep cleaning checklist.
One room at a time
Deep cleaning the whole house in a day is exhausting. Do one room a weekend, or one box a week over six weeks.
Work top to bottom
Light fittings and shelves first, then surfaces, then floors. Dust falls down, so you only clean the floor once.
Add your own problem spots
Every home has its own: the shower screen, the top of the fridge, the car seats. Add them on the blank lines.
Gather supplies first
Before starting a room, read its list and collect everything you need. Stopping halfway to find a brush is how deep cleans stall.
Do it before big events
Before holidays, guests, moving out or a new baby, the checklist makes sure nothing is missed.

About this deep cleaning checklist template
Need help importing it? See devices and apps or the FAQ.
What is included in a deep clean?
The jobs a regular clean skips: inside appliances, grout, behind and under furniture, skirting boards, light fittings, cupboard fronts and appliance filters.
How often should I deep clean?
Many people deep clean each room every three to six months, and before special occasions. Daily and weekly cleaning keeps the rest under control.
Can I use it for a move-out clean?
Yes. Add move-out jobs such as walls, inside cupboards and windows, and tick each room off.
Does it work for cleaning businesses?
Yes. Print one per job as a client checklist, or adapt the jobs to your service.
How long does a deep clean take?
A whole house can take a full day or more. Splitting it by room over several weeks is easier and more thorough.
