Cleaning Schedule Generator

How the schedule is generated

Nothing is scored or optimised here. The generator holds a fixed task list per room type with our own minute estimates — the kitchen's five weekly jobs run 5 to 15 minutes each, a bathroom's five run 5 to 15, a bedroom's four run 5 to 10 — and it builds your weekly pool by repeating each room's list once per room you counted. Three bathrooms produce three copies of the bathroom tasks, numbered so you can tell them apart.

Where those tasks land depends on the one setting that changes anything. On the lighter routine, every task of fifteen minutes or more goes to Saturday and everything shorter is dealt round Monday to Friday, so the week stays quick and the weekend carries the heavy pass. On the moderate routine the whole pool is dealt round all seven days evenly. Names are assigned by rotation in the order the tasks come out of the pool, which spreads the count rather than the minutes: two people with an odd number of tasks will not get an identical workload, and no attempt is made to hide that.

Five daily habits are the same on every schedule, because they are the ones that stop a week from compounding rather than anything that depends on your rooms. The twelve monthly jobs are filtered by whether you have the room they apply to, with the ones marked for the whole home always included. Everything the generator produces lives in this page, and a reload starts it over.

Every figure above was read out of the code that runs on this page. Where a number is our own judgement rather than a published one, the note says so and cites nothing. Method last checked 21 August 2026.
