30 Days Deep Cleaning House
Day 1: Dusting
Start your cleaning challenge by dusting the entire house. Use a microfiber cloth or duster for shelves, light fixtures, ceiling fans, and cabinet tops. Removing dust keeps your home clean and improves air quality.
Day 2: Walls
Wipe down your walls using a damp cloth or a mop. Focus on corners and marks. For stains, mix mild detergent with water. Clean walls make rooms look bright and fresh.
Day 3: Baseboards
Baseboards collect dust easily. Wipe them with a damp cloth or use a vacuum brush tool. For stubborn dirt, use a mix of vinegar and water. Clean baseboards give a neat look to your home.
Day 4: Entryway
Declutter the area near your main door. Arrange shoes, coats, and bags neatly. Sweep or vacuum the floor and wipe surfaces. Adding a mat can help reduce dirt from entering the house.
Day 5: Pantry
Take everything out of your pantry and wipe down the shelves. Throw away expired food and organize items by type. Use baskets or bins to keep it neat. A clean pantry saves time and helps prevent waste.
Day 6: Kitchen Cabinets
Wipe both inside and outside of your kitchen cabinets with soapy water. Pay attention to handles and knobs where grease collects. Clean cabinets keep your kitchen safe and hygienic.
Day 7: Window Tracks
Use a small brush or a vacuum to remove dust and dirt from window tracks. Wipe with a damp cloth afterward. Clean tracks help windows open and close smoothly.
Day 8: Windows
Clean both sides of your windows using glass cleaner or a vinegar-water mix. Wipe with a microfiber cloth to avoid streaks. Don’t forget window frames and sills.
Day 9: Window Screens
Remove the screens and wash them with warm soapy water. Rinse and let them dry before putting them back. Clean screens improve airflow and freshen your home.
Day 10: Blinds and Curtains
Dust blinds with a cloth or vacuum brush. Wash curtains according to their care labels. Clean window covers help improve indoor air quality and make rooms look tidy.
Day 11: Fridge
Empty your fridge completely. Wipe shelves and drawers using a baking soda and water mix. Discard expired food. Clean the seals and replace items neatly.
Day 12: Range Hood Filter
Remove the filter and soak it in hot soapy water. Scrub gently and rinse well. Let it dry before reinstalling. A clean filter helps remove kitchen odors and improves air flow.
Day 13: Stove and Oven
Clean your stovetop and grates. For the oven, remove racks and clean them separately. Use an oven cleaner for tough spots. A clean stove improves cooking efficiency and safety.
Day 14: Microwave
Wipe down the outside with a damp cloth. To clean inside, heat a bowl of water with lemon slices for a few minutes, then wipe the inside. Clean the turntable and vents as well.
Day 15: Kitchen Sink and Dishwasher
Clean your sink using disinfectant and focus on the drain area. For the dishwasher, run an empty cycle with vinegar to remove buildup. Clean sinks and dishwashers ensure better hygiene.
Day 16: Mattress
Vacuum your mattress surface and sides. Spot clean stains if needed. Use a mattress protector to keep it fresh longer. Clean mattresses promote healthy sleep.
Day 17: Bathroom Cabinets
Empty the cabinets and wipe down all surfaces. Throw away expired or unused items. Organize everything neatly. Clean cabinets make your bathroom more functional.
Day 18: Bathroom Sink and Toilet
Scrub both the sink and toilet using disinfectant. Pay attention to faucets, drains, and toilet rims. A clean bathroom maintains hygiene and freshness.
Day 19: Clean Grout
Mix baking soda and water or use a grout cleaner. Scrub with a small brush. Clean grout makes your tiles look new and prevents mold buildup.
Day 20: Bathtub and Shower
Scrub the tub, tiles, and fixtures using a bathroom cleaner. Rinse thoroughly. For glass doors, use a glass cleaner to remove soap spots.
Day 21: Shower Head
Soak the shower head in vinegar to remove mineral buildup. Scrub, rinse, and reattach. This helps improve water flow and pressure.
Day 22: Upholstered Furniture
Vacuum cushions, corners, and under seats. Spot clean any stains and spray with fabric freshener. Clean furniture makes your living space feel cozy.
Day 23: Shower Curtain
Wash your curtain following the care label. For plastic ones, wipe with vinegar and water. Clean curtains prevent mildew and bad smells.
Day 24: Mirrors
Spray vinegar and water on mirrors and wipe with a microfiber cloth. Clean mirrors reflect more light and make rooms look bigger.
Day 25: Clean Vent Covers
Remove vent covers and wash them with soapy water. Dry completely before putting them back. Clean vents help with airflow and reduce dust.
Day 26: Washing Machine
Run an empty hot water cycle with vinegar. Wipe the door seal and detergent drawer. This prevents odor and keeps your laundry fresh.
Day 27: Kitchen Sink
Scrub the sink with baking soda and a disinfectant. Pay attention to stains and drains. A clean sink keeps your kitchen hygienic.
Day 28: Sweep and Vacuum
Sweep and vacuum all rooms, focusing on corners and under furniture. For carpets, use a HEPA vacuum to remove dust and allergens.

Mop your floors using a cleaner suitable for your floor type. Change the water regularly. Clean floors make your home shine.
