Before You Read This Checklist - Read This

First, this list is a bit comprehensive and not all parts of it will apply to your family. Take those parts that help and ignore the rest.

Second, I do not suggest attempting to tackle everything on this list all at once on one day of the week. Instead, I suggest you follow a weekly house cleaning schedule and weekly laundry schedule.

A Guide On How To Best Use This Checklist

Use this checklist to help you identify any missing pieces you might have in your list of weekly chores to make sure you are not forgetting anything major, or to give you inspiration on what to include on your own schedule.
