CNET Editors' review
Lets Clean Up Plus offers an easy to use solution to keep family members on task with household chores. While it may be too detailed for users just wanting a simple to-do list, it's perfect for parents who know it pays to be very specific about what you mean when you say clean the kitchen (or any other room).
This program's clean simple interface is easy to follow, but a simple wizard is available to help you set up your household cleaning needs. As the screen highlights a room, it presents a series of drop-down menus to specify what needs to be done to clean it. If you don't find the right tasks, you can easily add your own. Once the house has been put under the microscope, the program wizard lets you add each family member's name. From there, each task is assigned to a member of the family and how frequently the chore should be done.
Once the chore list is complete, users can go to a calendar and click on any day they please. A printer-ready list of the day's tasks pops up and is ready for posting on the refrigerator or family bulletin board. Users can easily go back into the chores and adjust the times and doers. It may not make the children get to the chores with any more enthusiasm, but Lets Clean Up Plus can help parents and kids stay on top of household cleaning tasks.

"Very useful programme"
Version: Lets Clean Up! Plus 6.35
Pros
Useful programme for organising house cleaning, is also quite useful for organising office work. The original problem of having to reset the programme, as the database disappeared every now and then, seems to have been resolved in this update.
Cons
The layout of the update is not as nice as the original.

"I've only used this for one day and I love it already."
Version: Lets Clean Up! Plus 6
Pros
The printable checklists for each "worker" is great for my kids. One uses it to see how fast she can be done. Another uses it to see how much playing she can get away with before she has to get to work.
Cons
So far I have no complaints. I have to explore it more though.
Summary
One of the "rooms" I added was homeschooling. I love it for that too.

"Excellent program for cleaning schedules!"
Version: Lets Clean Up! Plus 6
Pros
Keeps track of all types of cleaning and home maintenance tasks, including infrequent tasks. The dynamic schedule aspect presents me with a list of only the things that need to be done now. Takes the concern out of forgetting things I meant to do.
Cons
No issues, a great program - easy to install.
Summary
What a difference, I have a home that is as neat as I want it to be. I am always ready for guests, and am always enjoying it myself. Easy to use program that has taken the stress out of my home cleaning! Thank you!

"Better than online "to do" lists for recurring tasks"
Version: Lets Clean Up! Plus 6
Pros
Very easy to set up. I had been using several different online "to do" lists in an effort to find one that would let me do what this program does. Fully functional 30-day trial.
Cons
Nothing. I have had no problems.
