🧽 30-Day Deep Cleaning Routine for a Truly Clean Home
One simple task a day — a cleaner, fresher home in just one month!
Let’s be real — most people don’t have time to deep clean their entire house in one weekend. But with a little structure (and just 15–30 minutes a day), you can have your home sparkling from top to bottom without burning out.
This 30-day deep cleaning routine breaks everything down into bite-sized daily tasks so you can stay consistent and finally get that “spring clean” feeling — any time of year.
🗓 Week 1: Fresh Start & Decluttering
Goal: Clear out clutter and get surfaces ready for real cleaning.
Day 1: Declutter kitchen counters and wipe them down.
Day 2: Empty and reorganize one junk drawer or cabinet.
Day 3: Declutter bathroom counters and drawers.
Day 4: Pick one closet to organize — donate unused items.
Day 5: Declutter nightstands and dressers.
Day 6: Toss expired food from fridge and pantry.
Day 7: Wash bedding and throw blankets.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep a donation bin in your hallway or laundry room all week — easy to drop items in as you go.
🧹 Week 2: Dusting & Detail Work
Goal: Remove hidden dust and buildup around your home.
Day 8: Dust ceiling fans and light fixtures.
Day 9: Wipe down doors, switch plates, and trim.

Day 11: Wash interior windows.
Day 12: Wipe baseboards in one or two rooms.
Day 13: Dust décor, picture frames, and shelves.
Day 14: Vacuum vents and change HVAC filters.
💡 Pro Tip: Always dust before vacuuming or mopping so debris falls to the floor first.
🍳 Week 3: Kitchen & Laundry Deep Clean
Goal: Hit all those hidden, sticky, and overlooked areas.
Day 15: Clean microwave inside and out.

Day 17: Wipe cabinets and clean backsplash.

🚿 Week 4: Bathroom & Living Spaces Refresh

Day 22: Scrub shower walls, grout, and caulking.
Day 23: Deep clean toilet and behind the base.

Day 26: Vacuum under couches and beds.
Day 27: Clean baseboards and walls in high-traffic areas.
Day 28: Wash or vacuum curtains and window tracks.
💡 Pro Tip: Keep one microfiber cloth just for mirrors and glass — no streaks, no residue.
🌸 Week 5: Finishing Touches & Maintenance
Goal: Wrap up details and set up habits to keep it clean.
Day 29: Wipe and polish furniture and décor.
Day 30: Do a full-home floors reset — vacuum + mop everything.
🎉 You did it!
Your home has been deep cleaned, piece by piece — and it only took a few minutes each day.
🧠 Bonus: How to Keep It That Way
Once you’ve finished your 30-day challenge:
Pick one deep clean day each week for maintenance (e.g., Fridays = floors).
Keep microfiber cloths and multi-surface spray under every sink for quick wipe-downs.
Set reminders for monthly tasks like cleaning vents, filters, and window tracks.
💬 Remember: A little bit every day is easier than a full day of catching up.
