- Pre-formatted checkboxes so you can track your progress visually.
- Bonus sections for pre-cleaning prep, whole-house tasks, and final touches—so nothing gets overlooked.

Why this checklist matters
You’ve got one shot at starting the year on the right foot—why not make your home reflect it?
This checklist helps you:
- Declutter & deep-clean rather than just surface-tidying.
- Move room by room with structure and purpose, so you don’t feel overwhelmed.
- Make your home feel renewed—giving you a calmer, more comfortable space to live in.
- Establish new home-maintenance habits that can carry you well beyond just the first week of the year.
Who it’s for
Whether you’re:
- Doing a full “new-year reset” cleaning over a weekend.
- Breaking the work into daily or weekly bursts makes it manageable.
- Looking for a printable tracker for the family or a digital version to use on your device.
This template works beautifully for homeowners, renters, families, or even single professionals wanting a fresh start.
How to use it
- Download either the PDF (for printing) or the editable file (for customizing).
- Print it out and pin it somewhere visible, or open the digital version and add your own list or notes.
- Move through the checklist—tick off tasks as you go.
- Use the “Whole House” section first, then tackle rooms one by one.
- Once completed, do the final “Bonus Tips” section to seal the deal and celebrate your clean home.
Tips to get the most out of it
- Break it into manageable chunks (e.g., one room per day) if doing in stages.
- Play your favourite music or set a timer to make the process more enjoyable.
- Review the “declutter first” section before deep-cleaning—it makes everything easier.
- Use the checklist as a springboard for setting up new regular cleaning routines after the one-time reset.
