Kids Bedroom Cleaning Checklist

After I shared my kid's bathroom cleaning printable a couple of weeks ago I received multiple emails asking me for versions for different areas of the house. The one most requested was a bedroom cleaning checklist and, as you all know, I'm always game to post about your requests!

(I've also recently made a kids' kitchen cleaning printable checklist too!)

Here is a really easy, standard Kid's Bedroom Cleaning Checklist you can print at home. (Scroll to the bottom to print your checklist!)

How to Teach Your Kids to Clean Their Rooms

Before you get started with the printable cleaning checklist, it's important to set your kids up for success when it comes to cleaning their rooms. Simply handing them a checklist and leaving them to it won't work. Believe me, I've tried!

As with the bathroom cleaning, it's very important that you first go through the cleaning process with your child intentionally to model for them how to clean and what their expectations are.

You can also start teaching young kids to clean with my printable Kid's Chore Cards featured in my shop. This is a super easy system for handing out chores for all ages!

Teaching Young Children to Clean Their Rooms

Be certain to keep expectations age-appropriate as well. A younger child will not be able to independently clean their room without adult supervision but they can most definitely do specific tasks when directed and taught. See a list of age-appropriate chores for kids here and find all of my cleaning tips and tricks here.

As an example, younger kids won't be able to follow a broad instruction like "clean your room," but can complete specific tasks like "pick up all the stuffed animals." Keep instructions short and specific until they are able to clean the room by themselves.

How to Clean a Kid's Bedroom:

  1. Start by making the bed, this will immediately make the room cleaner and help you in later steps.
  2. Pick up any dirty clothes and put them in the hamper.
  3. Pick everything off the floor and place it on the bed. Go through these things one by one putting them in the proper place until the bed is clear.
  4. Check under the bed and repeat step #3 with anything that doesn't belong there.
  5. Clear top of dresser and/or desk, returning anything out of place to its proper place.
  6. Empty trash can.
  7. Vacuum

That's it! You're done!

In our family, we do the deep cleaning tasks like dusting and changing linens on different days so this is a general tidy-up checklist. If there is enough interest in a different version I'm happy to make one up for you all!

      I will add it to my to-do list, are you thinking for every day cleaning or deep cleaning in the kitchen?
