A printable version of these standards is attached to this article. It lists every task by area with tick boxes, so you can work through a home and check items off as you go.

The current version is V1, last updated September 1, 2026. The version number and date are printed at the foot of the checklist.

These standards change from time to time. Download the checklist fresh from this article each time you need it rather than reusing a copy you saved or printed on an earlier job.

How to work through a cleaning job

Work in this order. It saves you time and stops you cleaning the same surface twice.

  1. Assess the situation. Walk the home first and see what state it is in before you start.

  2. Start the laundry and dishes first. Both run while you work on everything else.

  3. Clean from top to bottom. Dust and debris fall as you go, so finish with the floors.

Every room

These apply throughout the whole home.
