Best Cleaning Checklist

---

 

There are TONS of room-by-room cleaning checklists out there, but not all of them are as detailed as we may need them to be. I use my checklist as a mental guideline whenever I step into a house. Some people like a sheet with boxes to mark each task off, as they go.

 

Any way you want to maintain a checklist in personal preference 🙂

 

I wanted to share my checklist, because I decided to add all those details!
