Why do some tasks show up in “Optional” instead of the main plan?

Anything that didn’t fit your stated time budget moves to the optional list instead of being cut entirely, so you can still see what’s next if you end up with extra time.

Does answering “pets: yes” really change anything?

Yes — it adds a specific task for deep-cleaning pet bedding and fabric, which is easy to forget in a general deep clean.

How This Works

Tell it which area, how much time you have, and how overdue it is, and it builds a priority-ordered task list — tasks matching your stated problem, or any area that’s overdue, are marked high priority and included first.

Common Mistake to Avoid

Trying to deep-clean an entire home in one sitting usually means nothing gets finished. Pick one area, finish it properly, and come back for the next one another day.
