"You can have a to-do list for virtually anything - errands for the day, work-related assignments, and home projects - but nothing makes as much of an impact as having one dedicated to cleaning tasks, especially one that works all year long. That's why we're providing you with building blocks to create your very own cleaning checklist that you can use in 2026 (and beyond!)."
"Today, you'll be crafting your cleaning to-do list for the year to the best of your ability. You can use pen and paper, jot it down in your Notes app, or sit down and type away at your computer. Just make sure that wherever you're putting this together, you'll be able to return to it when you need it. When it comes to cleaning your home, there will be tasks that you'll have to do daily, weekly, monthly, and even seasonally."
"The Cure Program is a tradition here at Apartment Therapy - it happens every January, April, and September. Click to learn more about the year-round program and when to sign up. Put together things that you clean regularly as well as ones that need to be cleaned just once a week or month. For instance, you might wash the dishes every night and clean your sheets every week, but only clean your blinds monthly."
A free 20-day program offers assignments and guidance to refresh the home for the year ahead. Build a cleaning checklist that covers daily, weekly, monthly, and seasonal tasks and keep it accessible where it can be updated. Use pen and paper, a Notes app, or a computer to record tasks and return to the list as needed. Post daily and weekly tasks somewhere visible for frequent reference. Include routine chores and less frequent items, for example washing dishes nightly, changing sheets weekly, and cleaning blinds monthly. Consult seasonal checklists to address tasks tied to changing seasons.
