I’ve used an annual deep cleaning schedule for a few years now. Each month I deep clean one area of the home. My current schedule means each room/area gets a deep clean at least one time a year. Breaking it down makes the deep cleaning doable. I’m not overwhelmed by a weekend or even of week of cleaning the entire house. Here is the schedule I’ve been using.
Your schedule may look different depending on the size and number of rooms in your home and even how dirty a room gets. I keep up on regular cleaning (vacuuming, dusting, etc.) more often. The deep clean is for walls, base boards, and all that stuff that doesn’t need to be cleaned more often. My utility room (aka laundry room) was on the schedule for March.

If I feel like doing a little more, I’ll declutter and organize drawers, cabinets, and the linen closet. Decluttering and organizing aren’t on my deep clean list, because I think of them as a different task.
