Spring is here! It’s time to bust out the dusters, garbage bags, and the good mop, because we’re cleaning from top to bottom. Read on for my full, room-by-room spring cleaning checklist. There’s even a free printable included for you!
I don’t know about you, but as soon as March hits, I start going crazy with the household projects. Nothing is safe. I start emptying closets, scrubbing trim, and even pressure washing the patio. This year, I even made a (very optimistic) to-do list of household chores to get completed. Looks totally do-able, right?
Still, by the end of it all, my house is squeaky clean and reorganized. That leaves me with more time to get outside and enjoy the warm weather without worrying about chores. I mean, what else is there to do in the cold, rainy early spring than organize the house, right?
So, since I’m in the process right now anyway, I thought I’d break down my list, room by room, and share it with you. I’m sure it’s not as all-inclusive as some spring cleaning lists, but it works for me. I’ve also put this into a printable form for those of you that like a physical list to look at. You can download that for free
Hint: want to do all of this deep cleaning without harsh chemicals?
