Pick the zones and get both the order and the finish time
Start a room at the floor and the dust you knock off the window sills sends you back over ground you already covered. Enter your estimate for each zone you intend to clean plus a start time, and the page sorts them from the ceiling downwards and returns a running end time for every zone alongside the total. It is built around the arithmetic rather than a list of boxes to tick.
How the numbers are worked out
The sequence follows the ordinary habit of working top down and inside out, fixed as ceiling and lights, windows and sills, furniture and shelves, walls and doors, then the floor. Running end times add each zone to the start time in turn and are shown on a 24-hour clock. No officially recommended duration is offered for any zone, since the same surface varies several times over with its size and condition and there is nothing standard to quote. As of October 2026 only your own estimates are summed.
Cleaning products, tools and the method for each zone are not covered here. The result is the sum of what you entered, not a prediction. For products and tools, follow the product label and the manufacturer's instructions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Working from the top down and from the inside out means less of what you dislodge lands on a surface you have already finished. The page follows that ordinary logic with a fixed sequence that starts at the ceiling and lights and ends at the floor.
No officially recommended duration is offered here, because the same zone varies several times over with its size and condition. Run it once, then re-enter the time it actually took and the next plan becomes much closer to reality.
Fill in the minutes for the zones you are cleaning and leave the rest blank or at 0. Anything left out is listed in the results, and the order and finish time are rebuilt from the zones you kept.
