A cleaning checklist is the sheet on the fridge that settles the argument about what got done, and most of the free ones settle it badly: a hundred tasks nobody does, in a font from a greeting card, with no boxes. This one is three short lists, daily, weekly and monthly, each task with the boxes it needs: seven for the days, four for the weeks of the month, and one for the month itself. The pen does the rest.
The tasks are written in. The free version comes with twenty sensible ones, and the paid version takes yours, in your words: up to ten a day, ten a week, eight a month. A task with the wrong name is one you cross out, so the names are the whole point of making it yours. There is a line at the top for the week the sheet went up.
One decision worth explaining: no chores by person. A chart that assigns tasks to names is a chore chart, and there is one of those in the home drawer. This sheet is the household's list, the one everyone looks at, and it does not care who ticked the box as long as it is ticked.
Six color themes, one of them light ink for the sheet you print again and again. The boxes are a fifth of an inch, which takes a tick from a normal pen, and the rows are ruled so your eye stays on one task across the week.
Print it at 100%, not fit to page, on plain copier paper. The free version is this design with the sample tasks, in the Studio theme, on Letter, with a small credit line at the foot. The paid version carries your tasks and your title, all six themes, and comes back in Letter and A4 from one purchase, with a link that works for a year.
Can I write my own tasks?
Yes, that is the paid version: up to ten daily, ten weekly and eight monthly, thirty characters each. The free version has twenty sample tasks written in.
How do the boxes work?
Daily tasks get seven boxes, one a day. Weekly tasks get four, one a week. Monthly tasks get one. The daily boxes cover one week; the weekly and monthly boxes cover the month.
Can I assign tasks to people?
Not on this sheet; it is the household's list. The chore chart in the home drawer is the one with names.
Will it use a lot of ink?
Not in the light-ink theme, which is thin lines and one accent color, with nothing filled in. It is there for the sheet you print again and again.
Is the free version usable?
Yes. It has twenty sensible tasks written in and works straight off the printer. The paid version has yours.
Is there a subscription?
No. You pay once for the file. There is nothing to cancel.
