From dusting and vacuuming to organizing and disinfecting, our printable checklist will guide you through the process of deep cleaning your space for a fresh and tidy living area.

It’s no secret – the kitchen is the “hub” of the home and gets the most practical use. But the messiest room is often the living room.

In most households, the living room is used by everyone and for multiple purposes – playing with toys, doing homework, eating a snack, and watching tv.

If you’re ready to bring this common room back to sparkling clean, here’s how to deep clean a living room.

Supplies You’ll Need

How to Deep Clean Your Living Room – Prep Tasks

Before you deep clean, a couple of prep tasks are in order. Doing these will help you efficiently tackle the more significant chores.

Pick up All Trash – Walk around the room, pick up trash, and throw it away.

Put Up Items that Don’t Belong in the Living Room – Round up all the items that don’t belong in the living room, place them in a basket or put them in the room they belong. (If you have items you’d like to donate, these charities will pick them up from you.)

Put Throw Pillow Covers and Blankets in Washer – If you have any throw pillows or throw blankets in the living room, remove the pillow covers and put them in the washer.

Deep Clean Tasks

Remove Dust and Cobwebs from the Ceiling and Walls

Using a vacuum attachment or a broom, walk around the living room and remove all cobwebs on the ceiling and wall. (Here’s how to dust wood ceiling beams.)

Dust Light Fixture/Ceiling Fan

If you have a ceiling fan, use your vacuum attachment to suction the dust. Next, use a microfiber cloth and a general-purpose cleaner to remove any remaining build-up.

Clean Your TV

Use a dry, clean microfiber cloth to wipe all the dust off of your TV. Wipe in circular motions.

If there’s built-up dirt or grime, use a screen cleaning spray with your microfiber cloth.

Dust Your Lamps

Use a duster or dry cloth to dust your lamp shape. Use your microfiber cloth to clean the base of the lamp.

Wipe Down Tables, TV Stands, and Hard Surfaces

Use your all-purpose cleaner or wood cleaner to wipe down tables, tv stands, and other hard surfaces. Get the tops, bottom, and sides of each surface.

Vacuum Furniture

Remove any cushions from your furniture and use an attachment to vacuum crumbs and dirt. Vacuum the cushions as well.

Vacuum Under Furniture

Move furniture piece by piece and pick up trash you find underneath. Vacuum and mop if needed.

Finishing Touches

Clean Windows and Window Tracks

Pull out your vacuum or shop vac, open the windows, and vacuum the tracks. If you haven’t done this in a while, you’ll probably find a collection of bugs in there. After the tracks are swept, wipe them down with an all-purpose cleaner.

Last, use a glass cleaner on your windows.

Wipe Down Baseboards

Spray a microfiber cloth with your favorite all-purpose cleaner and wipe down all baseboards and trim work.

Sweep and Mop

Do a final sweep and mop of the living room.

Replace Throw Pillows and Blankets

Once throw blankets and pillow covers are washed and dry, put them back where they belong.

You’re All Done!

Once you’ve made it through those tasks, you’ll officially have a deep cleaned living room. And if you need a bit of guidance or just like checklists, be sure to download by whole-house cleaning checklists below.
