Do you ever feel overwhelmed by your cleaning routine? Do you find it hard to keep a clean home? Do you find it hard to keep track of what needs to be cleaned and when?
Many of us have been overwhelmed by the daily tasks of cleaning.
Do you ask yourself questions like:
“When was the last time I washed the sheets?”
“When was the last time I cleaned under the couch?”
Do you need reminders to take out the trash and do simple tasks like tidying up?
Whether you lack the motivation to clean or you have a hard time organizing the cleaning process, the Sweepy App would be perfect for you!
It can help simplify your cleaning routine and schedule, and help you keep track of those household chores that you don’t love doing.
Keeping a daily cleaning schedule will help ensure that you get everything done, and allows you to spread cleaning chores throughout the week to free up time for other important tasks.
It’s also an app that can get the entire family involved to help with cleaning! Keep reading to have some of your questions answered and to learn about why I love this app.
Is Sweepy a Free App?
Sweepy is a free app but gives you a few bonus options if you pay for it. The free version is plenty to get you started on simplifying your cleaning schedule and routine. If you choose the premium version, it costs $2.99 a month or $14.99 for 12 months.
You can do the trial period (that’s what I did) to see if you like the premium version better than the free. To avoid an unwanted renewal, cancel before the automatic renewal if you don’t want to keep the paid version.
How Does the Sweepy App Work?
The Sweepy App is super easy to start up and use every day.
- You will add each room of your house (bedroom, bathroom, living room, etc.).
- It will give you cleaning options and tasks for things in each room. Add the ones you want and you can also add custom tasks.
- After you add the tasks to be done in each room, you will add the frequency (how often you want to complete this task), and the current state (how clean or dirty it is).
- Once you have finished setting up your rooms and the tasks to be completed, you can start cleaning! There are three colors assigned to the condition of each task- green (shiny clean), yellow (good enough), and red (time for action). You can perform any of the housekeeping tasks when you want, the app just notifies you when they need to be done based on the frequency you chose.
- You will earn coins for each completed task, and can play a game of building a home!

Why Do I Love the Sweepy App?
Besides helping me complete tasks that normally I would put off, the Sweepy App has some great features!
It helps me keep track of my household cleaning tasks and makes it easy for me to keep up with what I need to do daily so that I can keep my home clean without being overwhelmed.
Here are some of the reasons why I love using this app every day!
1. You Can Choose the Cleanliness Level
You can choose the cleanliness of each room when starting and also choose the cleanliness of each task.
This is very helpful because it allows you to start with cleaning the things that need to be taken care of first.
2. Choose How Often to Clean
I love this option because not everyone wants to clean some things as often as others. You can customize your cleaning responsibilities to fit your schedule.
From small tasks to large tasks, you can choose how often you want to do them.
For example, only two people live in my house, so I don’t need to take the trash out as often as a family of four or five people.
3. Can Create a Task List
This is an option for the premium membership, but a task list will be created for you daily based on the amount of time you have and what tasks need attention.
I enjoy this feature because I will drive myself crazy trying to create my own task list!
I do wish that it would put a wider variety of tasks on the list each day. It only gives you three tasks to accomplish each day and it rotates the same few tasks.
4. Shows the Effort
For each task, there are multiple effort options you can assign (or it will assign it for you). I think it’s a great feature to show how much effort a task will take.
We all have good and bad days, and sometimes we do good to get a few things done on the bad days. We can always leave the tasks that require more effort to the days we feel great and ready to accomplish bigger things.

5. Can Assign to Family Members
Having a clean house doesn’t mean you should do it alone.
If other household members have the app, you can divide chores by assigning them to other members.
If they don’t have the app, you can share the chore and send it to them.
By sharing chores with family members, you can create a friendly competition to see who can do the most chores.
6. Has a Fun Game
Just when you thought this app couldn’t get any better, there’s an incentive to clean!
Once you add the rooms of your house you need to clean, Sweepy will create a “home” for you to buy things for and decorate.
For every task that you finish, you will get coins. You can take those coins to buy things for your home! It’s a fun incentive to help you get motivated to clean and complete your home cleaning schedule daily.
7. The Sound
The app’s sound when you complete a task makes the hard work worth it!
The exciting and positive noise makes me feel accomplished when I complete a task and mark it off my daily schedule.
8. The Challenges
Another addition that I enjoy is the cleaning challenges. It has different challenges to help you clean different rooms in your home, declutter, clean out, and more!
These challenges help you conquer more than what’s on your house cleaning schedule.
9. Accomplishment
The feeling of accomplishment that comes from using this app keeps me going! No matter what day of the week, I can get a few chores and cleaning tasks done because I feel motivated to see my list and get tasks marked off of it.
I feel accomplished when they are marked off and turn green!

If you want to stay on top of your cleaning tasks, this is the app for you! It’s one of the best cleaning apps I have used. It can help you develop good habits for cleaning, stay on top of your household chores, and help simplify your daily life.
This app is not perfect, and you may run into some kinks or things you don’t like about the app, but overall, it’s an easy cleaning app and a great way to keep track of specific tasks that need to be done.
I would love to know if you’ve tried this app and what you think about it!
