There’s nothing better than relaxing in a clean and clutter-free home, but keeping track of all your housekeeping tasks can be difficult. From dusting the furniture to tackling that pile of laundry, here are our favorite house cleaning apps for iOS and Android devices to help you stay on top of it all.
Housekeeping Widget: Do!
What We Like
-
Minimalist design.
-
Easy to add tasks quickly.
-
Add a widget to your phone’s home screen.
What We Don’t Like
-
Must double-tap to complete tasks.
-
Lots of ads unless you pay to remove them.
A housekeeping to-do list should be simple, easy to use, and ready to view at a moment’s notice. The Do! app gives you the look and feel of a paper to-do list, complete with unique paper and pen sound effects. Plus, tasks are easy to add and view using the Today widget for your device.
To organize your to-do list, add a color-coding system, perfect for keeping track of bathroom cleaning tasks versus kitchen cleaning tasks.
Do! is free to download with in-app purchases for Android and iOS devices. The premium option removes ads and allows for unlimited task groups.

Properly Care for Your Garments: Laundry Day
What We Like
-
Scan clothing tags with the built-in scanner.
-
Make sense of laundry symbols on garments.
What We Don’t Like
-
Icons are small on the screen and may be difficult to read.
-
No free version.
Ever wondered what those symbols mean on the laundry tag of your clothes? They each mean something specific for the care of the garment.
With Laundry Day, you scan these symbols and receive care instructions based on the selection. Or, select the symbols manually to see care suggestions.
Before getting this app, see if your iPhone’s OS can help you. Open the Camera app and make sure your clothing tag is in the frame. Tap the i at the bottom of the screen. It can tell you what the label means.
Simple instructions such as “do not wring” and “do not bleach” make caring for your clothing easier, saving time.
Daily Housekeeping Task Tracker: Do Habits
What We Like
-
Helps build housekeeping habits over time.
-
Easy habit tracking using your own entries.
What We Don’t Like
-
Learning curve with the user interface.
-
No Android app.
Good housekeeping begins with building better habits. Want to clean your kitchen countertops every day? Want to sort your mail when you receive it? The Do Habits app can keep track of those habits to help you keep a clean home each day.
As a habit tracker, you enter the habit you wish to pursue and set parameters on how often you wish to complete it. The app tracks your progress, reminding you if you miss anything. You can view your trends over time to see where you can improve.
You might need some practice to get the most out of the tracking potential, but Do Habits is free to download for iOS devices with in-app purchases.
