Cleaning Cards for a Rotating Card Box, 3 x 5 and 4 x 6 in Zone Routine

Cleaning cards keep your home routine small and manageable: a rotating card box shows what needs doing today and nothing beyond it. The cards come in exact 3 x 5 in and 4 x 6 in index card sizes for anyone who feels buried by a long chore list.

There are 32 undated pages in total. You get 18 card designs in both sizes with crop marks, 12 deep clean cards for individual rooms, lined and dot grid backs, dividers for Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Seasonal and Done, and a label for your box. Everything is laid out on US Letter and A4 sheets as an instant PDF download, and nothing is mailed.

How the cleaning cards keep each day light

Every morning, take out two cards. One is Daily basics, eight little habits with a Monday to Sunday tick grid. The other belongs to today's zone, running from Kitchen on Monday through to Reset and plan on Sunday. Saturday is for the room card at the front of the box: it gets seven tasks made for that space, you note the date on the rotation tracker, and the card slides behind Done. That way each of the twelve rooms gets a turn roughly every season.

On hectic days, the 15-minute reset card has you covered. Monthly and seasonal cards pick up the larger jobs, such as the oven, the dryer vent and the windows. With no dates printed and four rounds of tick boxes on each task row, a single printed card lasts you a month, and you can begin whenever you like.

Made for people who want a simpler house cleaning routine

• Anyone who freezes at a full schedule and only wants one small card to follow today
• Fans of index cards looking for a neat box system that covers the whole house
• Busy parents and remote workers who tidy in short bursts
• People moving into a new place who want every room deep cleaned in a relaxed rotation

Design and print details

• Minimal, elegant look on white with soft blush pink accents that save ink
• Roomy margins all around, so your home printer will not clip the edges
• Exact trim sizes with crop marks: 3 x 5 in (7.6 x 12.7 cm, three per sheet) and 4 x 6 in (10.2 x 15.2 cm, two per sheet), on US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm) paper
• No dates anywhere, so you can begin on any day of the year
• Print double sided and flip on the long edge, and the lined and dot grid backs line up with each front
• The 3 x 5 in room cards will also sit in a 4 x 6 in card box
