A House Cleaning Checklist from Haus Maids Bishop’s Stortford
Do you find house cleaning overwhelming? Feel like you never reach the end of your to-do list? Can’t work out how to balance your chores with your other responsibilities?
Don’t worry — you’re not alone. Fitting domestic tasks around work, family life and personal time can be challenging. But with a little structure, organisation and an extra pair of hands, it doesn’t have to be that way.
Our house cleaners in Bishop’s Stortford have created a room-by-room house cleaning checklist anyone can follow. Give it a go today!
Kitchen
It’s the heart of the home. That means it also gets messy (and greasy, and muddy…) very quickly. Here’s how to stay on top of it:
- Declutter all floors and surfaces
- Wipe down cupboards, shelves, drawers and surfaces — working from the top down
- Clean the inside and outside of all kitchen appliances, including the microwave, oven and dishwasher
- Empty and disinfect bins
- Unblock and clean out your kitchen sink
- Clear out unwanted items from your fridge and freezer
- Sweep or vacuum and then mop the floor

Bathroom
Bathrooms are usually the dampest areas in the house. As such, they need a little extra TLC to prevent mould from growing. Tick off these tasks to keep it fresh:
- Declutter all floors and surfaces
- Wash all towels, mats and shower curtains
- Empty and disinfect bins
- Clean your shower basin and doors (if applicable)
- Scrub your bathtub and faucets (if applicable)
- Polish all mirrors with a dry cloth and glass spray
- Wipe all surfaces with an all-purpose cleaner
- Deep clean the toilet
- Clean and touch up grout
- Sweep or vacuum and then mop the floor

Living room
Whether you eat in front of the TV, let dogs on the sofa or use the space as a makeshift playpen, living rooms face a lot of wear and tear. Keeping up with these tasks will ensure it’s a room you can relax in:
- Declutter all floors and surfaces
- Dust all furniture from top to bottom
- Clean all windows and mirrors
- Wipe down all surfaces and disinfect electronics
- Vacuum or sweep the floor
- Steam-clean your carpet or mop the floor

Bedroom
It’s easy to let things pile up in our bedrooms. But by regularly tidying and putting things in their place, you can maintain a cleaner, more peaceful sleeping environment. Here’s what you need to do:
- Declutter all floors and surfaces
- Wash and replace all bed linens
- Deep clean your mattress
- Dust all lights, fixtures and furniture
- Reorganise cupboards (e.g. store out-of-season clothes)
- Vacuum or sweep the floor
- Steam-clean your carpet or mop the floor

Utility room
Often thought of as the ‘mud room’ of the house, utilities need special cleaning attention. Add it to your house cleaning checklist with the following jobs:
- Declutter all floors and surfaces
- Deep clean walls and floors where mud might have splattered
- Tidy up shoes, coats and stored supplies
- Clean your washing machine and tumble drier (if applicable)
- Sweep or vacuum and then mop floors
Do all the items on this house cleaning checklist and you’ll be rewarded with a hygienic and organised sanctuary!
