Daily Cleaning Checklist

Weekly Cleaning Checklist

Monthly Cleaning Checklist

How to use these Checklists These cleaning checklists are designed to be printed and used in your home daycare. Simply print out each checklist and fill in dates cleaning occurred. On the weekly cleaning list you can indicate which day of the week these should be done one, then you (or your staff) can initial when complete. Or just initial when cleaning is completed for that week. Easy peasy! :) These are a great way to start and maintain a cleaning schedule as well as a great way to document when your daycare is cleaned. TIP: if you are doing this work when children are not present you should record how long it takes. Time spent working on daycare related things can effect your end of year taxes.
