How to use the schedule
Start with the rooms. Only check the ones you have: if there’s no dining room or balcony, leave them out and their chores disappear from the plan. “Whole house” covers what doesn’t belong to one room, like trash or laundry.
Then pick a style, your days and how long you want it for: one week, two or the current month. The schedule updates with every change and puts a date on each day. Daily chores go at the top and below them what’s due each day. Tap a task’s text to change it or the × to remove it.
Light, standard or deep
The light style keeps the basics: dishes, bed, bathroom, floors and sheets. It’s for busy weeks or for getting started without feeling overwhelmed.
Standard adds the chores that make a home feel looked after: the microwave, the fridge, mopping the living room or vacuuming the couch. Deep adds monthly tasks like the oven, the range hood filter, tiles, windows and the closet. These are the same three options the Tidily app offers when it builds your plan.
How many days to choose
With a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and entryway, and five cleaning days, it comes to about 35 minutes a day on the light style and about 50 on standard, not counting daily chores. With three days, each one gets heavier. If any day goes over an hour and 15 minutes, the schedule lets you know.
You don’t need to clean every day. What helps is not leaving it all for Saturday: if you do the bathroom on Tuesday and the kitchen on Thursday, your weekend stays free, or nearly.
Why daily chores are listed separately
Washing dishes, making the bed, tidying the living room or taking out the trash take five or ten minutes. Leave them for one day a week and they turn into an hour, plus a messy house the rest of the time.
That’s why the schedule puts them apart, in an “Every day” table with a box for each day, and leaves them out of the split. You can see at a glance what’s a daily habit and what belongs to a specific day.
One week, two or the month
One week is enough to start: print it, stick it on the fridge and repeat it. With two weeks you see which chores come every other week, like vacuuming the couch. With “This month” you also get the once-a-month ones, like the oven, the inside of the fridge or the windows, spread over different weeks so they don’t land together.
If you print the schedule, put it on the fridge or inside a cabinet door and check off each week as you go. If you’d rather keep it on your phone, add the same chores to the Tidily app with their frequency and it shows you what’s due each day.
