Keeping your home clean can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what to tackle and when. Some chores need attention daily, while others can be done weekly, monthly, or even seasonally. At Best Day Housecleaning, we’ve put together a simple guide to help you stay on top of cleaning without overdoing it.

These tasks help keep your home livable and prevent messes from piling up:
- Wipe down kitchen counters and dining surfaces
- Wash dishes or load the dishwasher
- Sweep high-traffic floors

Weekly Cleaning Tasks
These chores keep dirt and dust from building up:
- Vacuum and mop all floors
- Dust furniture, shelves, and baseboards
- Clean bathrooms (toilets, sinks, showers)

Monthly Cleaning Tasks
Less frequent but still important for a healthy home:
- Clean inside the microwave, oven, and refrigerator
