Make yourself a master list. I have one for weekly chores, monthly, quarterly, semi annual and annual task list. Printed out and check it the first of each month. Then cross them off as they are completed.
I am not opposed to lists of daily/weekly/monthly tasks, but the best way to keep your house clean is to put things back exactly where they come from when you are finished. Don't let things get or stay cluttered. Spend 20 minutes or so at the end of each day making sure your house is tidy before you go to bed--kitchen cleaned up, laundry put away, etc. When you get up make your bed and tidy your bedroom first. When your house is tidy, it is easy to see what needs to be dusted, mopped, etc. My other piece of advice is to clean out and ruthlessly organize every cabinet, drawer, and closet. If they are a mess your house will stay a mess. Purge, toss, and contain. The less you have, the less you have to clean. If every item in your house has a specific place, you save time hunting for things and money buying things you already have. Organize your spaces by putting like with like: Put all the light bulbs together, hammers & nails together, you get the idea. I know you asked about cleaning, but for most people I find they think a cleaning list will help keep their home clean when what they really need to get rid of too much stuff, organize what is left, and learn to put things away. If that is done, cleaning the house becomes much easier.
