New Homeowner Printables
What's in This Collection
Moving into a new home is exciting—and overwhelming. There's unpacking, cleaning, organizing, and ongoing maintenance to figure out. This collection brings together six home-organization printables: a home maintenance checklist for seasonal upkeep, a cleaning schedule for weekly routines, a deep-cleaning checklist for the initial scrub-down, a pantry organization checklist to set up your kitchen, a decluttering checklist to decide what stays and what goes, and a moving cleaning checklist for the move-out from your old place. Use them to establish systems from day one and keep your new home running smoothly.
Home Maintenance Checklist
Seasonal and annual home upkeep. HVAC, gutters, smoke detectors, and more. Stay ahead of repairs.
Cleaning Schedule
Weekly or daily cleaning tasks by room. Build a routine from day one.
Deep Cleaning Checklist
Thorough room-by-room cleaning. Use before unpacking or for an annual refresh.
Pantry Organization Checklist
Sort, purge, and organize your pantry. Zones and labels for a functional kitchen.
Decluttering Checklist
Decide what to keep, donate, or toss. Room by room, before or after the move.
Moving Cleaning Checklist
Leave your old place clean. Room-by-room checklist for move-out day.
How to Use This Collection Together
Start with the Moving Cleaning Checklist if you're still in your old place—leave it clean before you go. Once you're in, use the Deep Cleaning Checklist room by room before fully unpacking; it's easier to clean empty spaces. The Decluttering Checklist helps you decide what to bring and what to donate before the move. Unpack the kitchen, then tackle the Pantry Organization Checklist so you know where everything lives. Set up the Cleaning Schedule for ongoing maintenance—daily or weekly tasks so the house doesn't spiral. The Home Maintenance Checklist covers seasonal tasks—HVAC filters, gutters, smoke detectors—schedule these on a calendar. Establish the routine early; habits formed in the first few months stick.
Who This Collection Is For
This collection is for new homeowners—whether you're a first-time buyer or moving into a different house. Anyone who just closed and wants to start on the right foot will find these tools useful. Renters moving to a new place can use the moving and cleaning checklists too. The maintenance checklist is especially valuable for homeowners who now handle repairs themselves. No prior organization system required—these printables give you a framework from scratch.
Tips for using this collection effectively
Clean before you unpack. If possible, run through the Deep Cleaning Checklist in each room before moving furniture and boxes in. Empty rooms are faster to clean—floors, baseboards, windows. You’ll start fresh instead of cleaning around clutter. Even a quick pass pays off.
Set up systems in the first month. Use the Pantry Organization Checklist to establish where food lives. Create a Cleaning Schedule and stick to it—15 minutes daily or an hour on weekends. The Home Maintenance Checklist belongs on your calendar; schedule seasonal tasks (spring and fall) so you don’t forget. Habits formed early are easier to maintain.
Use the decluttering checklist to pare down. Moving is the perfect time to let go. Go through each room with the Decluttering Checklist—keep, donate, toss. Don’t move what you don’t need. Your new home deserves a fresh start. The Weekly Cleaning Routine guide helps you maintain order once the chaos of the move settles.
