Here is a free printable monthly cleaning schedule eBook to help you clean and purge your house all year long and not get too overwhelmed! Great resource.
I have been creating free monthly cleaning schedule printables all year and have now put them all into an eBook for you to download and use year after year! I first created a January cleaning and purging checklist and it worked so well for me, and was so popular with others, that I was asked to make one for every month of the year. I made my Summer cleaning schedule cover a few months to give everyone a bit of a break and enjoy time with your family while the kids are out of school, but other than that every month is covered! A complete book of organization printables just for you from me. 😉 (originally published 12/17)
Why did I do this?
Well, I am a paper and pencil kinda’ gal who can’t stand clutter!!
- Yes I have a cell phone and put my schedule of “to dos” in there but there is something satisfying having a piece of paper to keep you on track doing something that isn’t always fun…cleaning the house!
I began this cleaning and purging schedule by starting to organize school paperwork from years past that had been piling up, then went on to do a refrigerator clean out….and I got addicted, I needed to organize like this throughout the entire house. I am always forgetting things too so I listed just a few rooms at a time each month, and areas/items you should go thru and purge if you haven’t used it in the past year.
Here is me at one of the few big thrift store donation hauls…….
I do a BIG purge like this a few times a year, this was my “before Christmas hits” purge! This time of year it is almost entirely toys the girls haven’t touched in the past year, and clothing that no longer fits.
I like to do a major cleaning in early December because I know they will be getting new clothes and toys and it’s out with the old and in with the new.
Another plus is we get to give to others, and get a tax write off for that year for donating a ton of stuff.
Another big time of year for me is right before Summer starts and the kids are out of school for a few months.
Tips to have success when doing your Monthly Cleaning Schedule
- Do it when your kids are NOT home (all of a sudden they’ll want that shirt that does NOT fit or toy that is broken)
- Be honest with yourself when purging your closet (if it hasn’t fit in a year get rid of it…no “well my goal is to get back to that size”, treat yourself when you get there)
- If you have items of value that you’d rather sell than donate that is fine, make a buck…..but put a VERY reasonable price on it and get rid of it.
If you’re back to The Typical Mom because you’ve completed one of my cleaning and purging checklists, welcome back!
- If you’re new and ready to start a month to month cleaning schedule, welcome! Either way I promise you that you will feel SO good after each month is done!
What I did when I first printed out this monthly cleaning schedule was to make a home organization binder where I slid each month into a sheet protector and used wet erase markers to mark off when I was done with each area/item. Then when I was finished I could wipe the marks away with a wipe and it was ready to be reused the next year.
Ready??
- I hope this helps you as much as it helped me. Cleaning your house is not on the top of anyone’s list of things they’d love to do, but it has to get done. Not getting overwhelmed is a key factor in it getting done for me and these cleaning printables have made a world of difference.
Let me know how it goes for you!

I so enjoy your recipes and organizational ideas. The constant pop ups, that need to be closed, makes navigating the website very difficult. Finding the links that are valid is difficult. The main PDF download is when the website throws up Download PDF at bottom which only asks to add an extension to Chrome. Won’t go that route. Have had my chrome hijacked in the past. I was able to find a few “print” links to print some of the recipes. Sorry to be negative. Just needs to be addressed. Thanks for sharing your time and knowledge.
Lynn says
I tried printing the ebook, only a few of the pages printed and they were very sporadic . How do I get the rest of them
Lisa says
Do you have the ebook printables in black and white and please give me specific instructions on how to print them. Thank you so much, this is the summer I AM GOING TO GET ORGANIZED!
SmilingBrEyes says
These are AWESOME, THANK YOU!
Anyways I can get these in black and white please, along with several of the other organizers not done yet in black and white?
Again THANK YOU for sharing.
The Typical Mom says
I haven’t done black and white for all of them yet
Katie says
I appreciate your brain power and effort in this space! Thank you so much for sharing <3
Christine says
Sadly your website is ad overkill. Too many ads to even enjoy your content.
Heidi Haney says
I agree! But, we all need to make money and I believe she gets paid a little for allowing ads. We should be grateful because her time organizing and creating all of this for us to just easily download is worth skipping over the ads. It’s nice if you can make what you love to do sustainable. Unfortunately we are in a marketing society. It sucks, but it is what it is!
Justine says
I love that you said this and of course I agree, enjoy the free printables. ❤️
KC says
Was trying to start the year right and download but as previous mentions, nowhere to actually download these. Are they just images we are supposed to right click? I was expecting a PDF easy printable option
The Typical Mom says
When you add email to box near bottom it will automatically pop up in a new tab. If not only reason I could think of is if you have some sort of blocker on your comp. that is preventing that.
Lisa Myers says
Nothing is popping up for me either. I’m using Chrome browser on Windows 10. I also tried on my Asus Android tablet and my Samsung Galaxy smartphone. No go on any of them. What am I missing? Thanks so much!
Erin-Joi Collins says
What should we do if the printable does not pop up automatically?
Amy says
From my iPhone I had to open it in Safari. Once I had done that, printing was enabled as an option in the bottom arrow – the one where you would save a picture. However, that’s only if you have a Bluetooth enable printer connection. If not, I would email it to yourself and then go in your email to open the attachment and print it that way.
Belinda says
Thank you for offering these printables. But am I supposed to resign up every time to get these?
The Typical Mom says
Signing up on this one gives you the whole ebook, if you go to another printable yes you will have to fill out the same form but email address is only added once to my newsletter.
Lynn Beumer says
I filled out the form to get the free printable cleaning list. I received no link or anything via my e mail? Does it take a long time to get a response?
thank you.
The Typical Mom says
I just tried it and it worked, printable popped up immediately. No email, it just pops up so you can print it.
Belinda says
where does it pop up? I am not seeing anything.
Alice S. says
Thank You… For putting this list together… People say I’m a hoarder… But… of course I don’t
Think so… But… Then again it’s
Probably true…?
I will try and see if this helps…
To get rid of a few things…
Again… Thank You for putting this together… And making it Free… Alice
